Notes
This is a suffix that turns nouns and adjectives into mostly VT, but a few VI verbs. The verbal paradigm is the same for other "-aj" class verbs.
E.g. khur "sticky" > khuraj sakh "stick to"
jom "power" > jomaj "to rule"
k'us "shape" > k'usaj "to shape"
Don't forget, this suffix is very similar in meaning with the CAUS suffix added. CAUS requires an agent. "-aj" does not imply an agent.
E.g. k'ej "smooth" > k'ejaj "smoothen" > k'ejajk' "make smooth"
