around the edge, past a point, back and forth' which is
known to verbalize one noun root (see 6-2.15.1), although
the verbal suffix has different morphophonemics, requiring
a preceding vowel. Bertonio (1603b:172-173) cited -kipa
on numbers and on the following forms which are unaccept-

able in La Paz today:

*gaygta.kipa.n.ki.s ‘how far back in line'

(qawg"a.n.k.k.i.s means 'how far back in line’ in
La Paz today)

+ . ' . oo
nayra.kipa ‘second in line
*pani.kipa ‘third in Vine’

5-3.12.5 -:ka ‘general location'

This suffix occurs only on the demonstratives
aka, uka, and k"aya in La Paz. It also occurred once
in Socca on aka. It was not formally elicited nor did
it occur spontaneously elsewhere. Possibly a reduced
form of aka, it lessens the preciseness of a location.

The following examples are from La Paz/Compi.

aka.:ka.n sar.naga.s.ka.:na ‘he was going around here'

k"aya.:ka.n ‘around there’
