5-3.32 Final Class 2 suffixes

The last suffixes to occur on a noun stem or
theme before verbalization, if any, are -kama aggregate/
attainer, -pacha ‘all, same', -jama ‘like’, and zero comple-
ment vowel drop (which may not be followed by verbalization).

-kama may occur before the complement/relationals
but usually does not. -pacha may occur before all
complement/relationals except -mpi ~ -nti, and its
meaning is tied to its position of occurrence. -jama
may follow -kama on a stem, but not vice versa. -pacha
has not co-occurred with either -kama or -jama except
on the stems frozen with -jama: ak"ama and uk"ama.
