In Jopoqueri the allomorph /-ka-/ usually occurs before
/-ja-/ allomorph of -ja- ~ -ka- verbal derivational in-

completive.

Misa.x jani naya.n.k.j.i.ti. ‘The table isn't mine.'
table no Ip ~ 333
S

In other dialects /-ka-/ verbalizer followed by /-ka-/

incompletive results in a geminate /kk/ cluster, as in

Jani.w naya.n.k.k.i.ti ‘It's not mine.'

(In speech, /kk/ reduces to /k/.)
Another allomorph occurring in Jopoqueri is
/-k"a-/. Compare the allomorph /-k"a/ of -jama

(5-3.32.3), which occurs first on the following stem:

 

Naya.x ak.k"a.n.k".iri.t.wa. ‘I'm from around here,
Ip here a 13 more or less.'

A variation of the above is

Naya.x ak.ja.n.j.iri.t.wa.

This implies a certain consonant harmony; further study
is needed to determine whether or not this is idiosyncratic

to one speaker.
