According to Herrero et al. (1971-2:1.126), an
allomorph of vowel length verbalization, *T-ya-/, occurs
in Omasuyos province of La Paz, but only in certain
contexts: on the nominalizer suffix -iri before 13
and 2+3 Future affirmative, but not negative. Glosses
for the following were not given, but the verb is

yati.cha.fia 'to teach’.

*yati.ch.iri.ya.:.wa
~~] 3
F

*yati.ch.iri.ya.:ta.wa
—~ 23

The negative forms are the following, with /-:-/ ver-

balizer:
+. . wo. :
jani.w yati.ch.iri.:.ka.:.ti
~ 43

*Sani.w yati.ch.iri.:.ka.:ta.ti
~ 2>3
F

Since /-ka-/ incompletive requires a preceding consonant,
the negative forms could contain +p e-ya-/ also, reduced
to /y/ homophonous with /i:/, that is

*jani.w yati.ch.iri.y.ka.:.ti
