-AAт forms

[jonorthwash]

There are verb forms in -{A}{A}т that are identified by Johanson (2021) as a type of converb. Examples: биэрээт, түһээт, ылаат.

(An English gloss of these forms appears to be "as soon as X Y-ed" or "upon having Y-ed"? In Kyrgyz these semantics are expressed with a VN+possessive ending followed by a postposition, e.g. берээрим менен - "as soon as I gave". So no help to the following questions.)

I guess we need a verbal adverb label (gna_???) for these. Aside from the question of what the label should be, I'm wondering if these might behave as infinitives too (that is, occur with auxiliaries, prc_???). @varie?

From non-GitHub discussion:

• Appears to not have prc forms
• The {A}s delete after vowels: ыат, диэт, сылдьаат
• Semantics are "right after X"

@varie, are there negative forms of these?

Yes, for example: "барымаат", "кэлимээт", "көрүмээт", "сылдьымаат".
