/-nti/ (continued)

kuna.nti.sa ‘with what?' (Calacala)

[-ndi ]
kuna. [ndi] .sa ‘with what' (Calacala, Salinas)
k"iti.[ndi].sa ‘with whom' (Salinas)

juma.[ndi] ‘with you' (Salinas)

Use of both /-mpi/ and /-nti/ by the same speaker in one

sentence occurs in the following:

Jira.ya.fia.wa uywa.naka.nt . . . uka.t uywa.naka.mp
fertilize animal a then ~~

ana.nta.fa. ‘You have to fertilize with animals...
herd then herd animals (over the area)’ (Corque)

In Calacoa /-mpi/ loses its final vowel before
nonfinal independent -raki and final sentence suffix
-Sa. Elsewhere the suffix keeps its final vowel except
before consonant-requiring final noun suffixes. It usually

loses its final vowel word-finally. Calacoa examples:

Ma:.mp.raki ‘again’

Kuna.mp.s mang'.sna ch'unu? ‘With what can we eat chufio?'
what eat 453
