Notes

these suffixes were not considered verbal deri-
vationals by England.

The suffix -paya- has been added to the 21 listed
by England, who identified 10 verbal derivational suffixes
as verbalizing noun roots only. The three additional
verbalizers now identified are -su-, -ta-, and -kipa-.
Verbal derivational suffixes that can verbalize certain
noun stems as well as roots are -cha-, -t"api-, and -t'a-.
-cha- also verbalizes noun themes ending in -fia.

 

 

Scitation forms of verb roots and stems are not
given with -na in Bertonio's grammars, but rather with
1>3 Simple tense. Verbs from Bertonio will here be cited
by stem alone.

4 Tn this stem the three-vowel rule operates to
cause the three-vowel stem uta.cha- to lose its final
vowel before -kipa-.

"The three-vowel rule operates on this and the
next two examples built on ali.si-, a stem with -si-
frozen to the root (see 6-2.19.1 and 6-2.21, below).

Sagain, the three-vowel rule causes the final
vowel of k'umara to drop before -tata-, as it also does
in the case of aru.s.tata.fa.

’The /-xa-/ in this stem is believed to be an
instance of the Class 2 completive suffix frozen to the
root (see 6-2.25.2).

8 The present treatment of -si- differs from
England's.

9some verbs with -si- take complements which
must be marked with the noun suffix -mpi ~ -nti. (See
my earlier treatment in Hardman et al. 1975:3.323).
