7-2.21.2 -y ini ~ -puni ~ -pani ~ -pi emphatic

/-pani/ occurs in Jopoqueri; /-pi/ occurs in
Calacala; /-pini/ occurs in Juli, Sitajara, La Paz,
Salinas, Calacala, and Morocomarca and was alleged by
Bertonio (1603b); /-puni/ occurs in Huancané, Socca,
Calacoa, and La Paz and was alleged by Tschopik (1948).
As this indicates, /-pini/ and /-puni/ occur in La Paz,
and /-pi/ and /-pini/ occur in Calacala, /-pi/ either
before /-pini/ or before =pi sentence suffix. The
meanings of this suffix may be expressed in translation
as ‘always', '‘still', ‘'really', or ‘definitely', but

it is basically an emphatic. Examples:

Ina.ki.pini.w. ‘It's really in vain.' (Calacala)
ch'uqgi.pi.pini.k ‘just potatoes, really’ (Calacala)

Uka.pi.ki.pi.y. ‘It's just that, really.' (Calacala)
