Q. lacalima adj. “not possible to be kindled (made to shine)” (Category: to Light, Kindle)

Q. lacalima, adj. “not possible to be kindled (made to shine)” (Category: to Light, Kindle)

An adjective mentioned in Late Notes on Verb Structure (LVS) from 1969 demonstrating some obscure rules on how the affixes la- and -ima interact with basic verb stems and causative verbs. In particular “when combined with la- they functioned as equivalent of la + the causative (whether actually existing or not) as lakalima, not possible to be kindled ... rather than lakaltaima” (PE22/155-156). Hence lacalima constructed directly from the verbal root √KAL was correct and **lacaltaima constructed from the causative verb calta- was not.
