*/jallu.s.ka.s.sama.ch. i.wa/
We may assume the following derivations:

*jallu.s.ka.s.jama.ch.i.wa -->

*jallu.s.ka.s.sama.ch.i.wa -->

*jallu.s.ka:.s.ama.ch.i.wa

The phonological rules, briefly, are /s + j/ --> /ss/ -->
/:s/.!°
Other examples, from La Paz/Tiahuanaco today, are

the following:

T'ag.s.ta.s.ma.ch.ja.k.i.w. ‘I think (the donkey) broke loose. '
~~ 333

S t'aga.fia ‘to break’
t'aq.su.fa 'to break loose’

Ut. ja.s.ka.s.ma.ch.ja.k.i.w. ‘It looks like there is some
OO there. '

The /-ja-/ after /-s.ma.ch-/ appears to be a reduplica-
tion of -jama in its reduced allomorph /-ja-/. If we
consider /-s.ma.ch-/ as three morphemes, then the final
/-ja-/ acts like an independent suffix, coming after the

verbalizer -cha- and before the verbal inflection -i.
