5-3.12.12 - pwisa ~ - wisu ‘without'

V

This suffix is no longer productive in any dia-
lect investigated for this study, although in Bertonio's
time it apparently was (Bertonio 1603b:214,215). Its
use is now taken over by jani negative plus the possessor/
enumerator suffix -ni, as in jan nasa.ni ‘without a
nose'. Today the only forms attested with -wisa are
for Compi and Tiahuanaco: jinchu.wisa ‘hard of hearing’
and nayra.wisa ‘having bad eyesight' (which would not
be said within earshot of the person referred to, as
they would be considered rude) and jayu.wisa ‘lacking

salt'. -wisa occurs in Tiahuanaco, -wisu in Compi.

5~-3.2 Class 1 suffixes

5-3.21 Locationals

I have described locational suffixes elsewhere
(Hardman et al. 1975:3.287-290). No special effort was
made to elicit them in this study, and no variations
in their occurrences were noted. They are -.sa ‘side’,
- kata ~ -kati ‘across’, - ywia ‘place’, - dita ‘exactly

in a place’, - xa ‘over, on', and -:xa ‘beside’.
