final suffixes except the vowel-requiring suffix

~-lla_~ -ya. Only in Calacoa may the distinction between
1-3 S and 2+3 S be made solely on the basis of the pres-
ence or absence of aspiration: 133 [-thay/, 2>3 /- ,ta,/.
Elsewhere the distinction is made primarily by morpho-
phonemics: 1-3 [-,ta/ a /~t"ai/s versus 2>3 /-,ta,/.
That is, 2+3 keeps its final vowel before all following

suffixes. Other suffixes in this tense do also.
6-3.31.2 Structure and distribution (see Figure 6-2)

133 /-t"a/ is found everywhere but in La Paz and
Huancané, which have /-ta/. In Calacoa the
aspirated form appears to be more common in
the speech of women, and the unaspirated in

the speech of men.

2>3 /-ta/ everywhere.
3>3 /-i/ everywhere.
4+3 Morocomarca has /-sna/, identical to the 4+3 D-1

found in all dialects except Calacoa. For 43

S Calacoa has an alternate form /-\siia/ identi-
cal in shape, but not morphophonemics, to its

4+3 D-1. /-tana/ occurs in Sitajara and was

cited by Bertonio. Socca has /-tan/ alternating
with /-tna/. Elsewhere the allomorph is /-tan/,
except that in La Paz /-tana/, with antepenulti-
mate stress on the word, was heard in a Protestant

sermon (see 4-3.33).
