In TฤฐD, there are some sequential derivational affixes which have been borrowed from the surrounding spoken language, Turkish. These are the privative (negative) suffix โless and the fingerspelled suffixes -l-i and -c-i, the associative and the agentive suffixes, respectively. The fingerspelled suffixes are signed on the dominant hand, although otherwise fingerspelling is usually reserved for the non-dominant hand but see [Lexicon โ 2.2.2.1.].
The associative suffix -l-i has been borrowed from the Turkish โli in accordance with (a reduced and simplified version of) vowel harmony, yielding two allomorphs. It has a variety of meanings but the most prevalent one is โwithโ.
-l-ฤฑ -l-u
The usage of the variant -l-u depends on whether the sign that it is attached to is mouthed in Turkish. If the mouthing of such a sign has a rounded vowel (o, รถ, u, รผ) as the last segment, then some signers use the form -l-u instead of -l-i.
