Usage notes
A variation of უ- -ალი (u- -ali), when the circumfixed word doesn’t contain the letter რ (r), or if it does, the letter in question is followed by the letter ლ (l) just before the suffix part. Compare უცინარი (ucinari) and უტირალი (uṭirali). Also see პორტუგალიური (ṗorṭugaliuri) to understand this consonant harmony, which can be represented schematically as:
- ლ (l) → რ (r)
- რ (r) → ლ (l)
- რ (r) → ლ (l) → რ (r)
- ლ (l) → რ (r) → ლ (l)
