333 silent'
S

/-w.xa-/ also frequently occurs with /-iritayna/ (-iri
plus 3+3 RIK) and other compound forms with -chi NI, in
stories told in Juli and Socca (see 6-3.36.1 and 6-3.37.2).
/-w.xa-/ occurs with the Imperative in Socca,
meaning 'do it this minute!' on sara.fia 'to go' and
Sa.fia 'to say’ but conveying a gentle, friendly plea
on chura.fia 'to give', thus illustrating the different
connotations verbal derivational suffixes, even those
of Class 2, may have on different verbs.
In Morocomarca /-wiy.xa/ and /-xa.wiya-/ both
occur. In some instances one order is preferred. Examples

occurred with the Simple tense.
