Without the negative, forms with final vowel are
preferred, as in the following example which has -chi
NI (reduced to /s/) plus Simple tense on the subordinated

verb, and Imperative on the main verb.

'If you want some potatoes, bring a bag.' (Juli)

In Morocomarca, Jopoqueri, and Salinas, on the

final vowels, though in sentences of the types here

exemplified they usually occur unsuffixed.
