101, dialects studied, -si- does not occur before
the incompletive in negative expressions, e. g.

 

*Jani.w aka.n.ka.s.k.i.ti.

Rather, the following occur:

Jani.w aka.n.k.k.i.ti.
no 3>3
S
"He is not here.'

Jani.w aka.n.k.j.i.ti.

MV some verbs with -ya- require that the agentive
complement (the someone who is caused to do something)
be marked with the noun complement suffix -ru; others
mark the agent with the noun complement suffix -mpi ~ -nti.

ers the beneficiary complement is expressed by
a noun in the sentence, it is marked by the suffix -taki;
see 5-3.31.5.

'3the victimary complement may be expressed in
the sentence by a possessive noun phrase, or the possession
alone may be indicated.

Vy order to determine the vowel of the suffix
-p- it will be necessary to elicit forms that require
a preceding vowel, for example the Remote or Future.

'6another form which lends itself to analysis
as -cha- alternative question plus *ja root is

*Jani.ch.ja.w. ‘I don't think so.' (Ebbing
EE 1965:209)

In this -ch.ja- occurs on the particle jani 'no'.

tional suffixes, for the dialects of Compi and Tia-
huanaco, is in Hardman et al. (1975:3.209-245).
