Occurrences of -taki ~ -tak"i ~ -~tay on stems

ending in -fna nominalizer (the purposive subordinator)
are discussed in 7-4.21.23.
In Compi /-taki/ permits either a preceding vowel
or consonant after the interrogative kuna but requires
a preceding vowel in other environments. In Jopoqueri
/-taki/ permits either a preceding vowel or consonant
after the nominalizer suffix -fia but otherwise requires
a previous vowel. In Huancané /-taki/ follows the
three-vowel rule. Elsewhere /-taki/ requires a preceding
vowel. It keeps its final vowel before following suf-
fixes, except consonant-requiring final noun suffixes.
It may keep or lose its final vowel, word-finally.
/-tay/, which occurs only in Sitajara, requires
a preceding vowel. It is parallel in shape to /-ray/,
the Sitajara allomorph of -ra ‘yet' and/or -raki ‘aggregate/
complainer' independent nonfinal suffixes (see 7-2.21.3

and 7-2.21.4).
