-vik is an affix that is added to a verb to indicate a time or place where an action takes place:
| nigi- | to eat |
| nigipvik | dining room |
This affix is irregular when it is added to roots. In many instances, it changes a -k that comes before it to -p:
| anik- | to go out |
| anipvik | exit; way out |
| sinik- | to sleep |
| sinipvik | bedroom |
| pulâk- | to visit |
| pulâpvik | living room |
Some speakers, though, will change the -k sound to a -g sound; others may use an -ff sound:
| anigvik | aniffik |
| sinigvik | siniffik |
| pulâgvik | pulâffik |
Another example:
| tikik- | to arrive |
| tikipvik / tikigvik / tikiffvik |
place of arrival; arrival hall (airport) |
