Jani.puni.w jala.g.ta.y.k.i.ti. (La Paz/

~ Tiahuanaco)
7-2.21.3 ~yfa~ -rara ~ -:ra ~ -ray ‘still, yet'

In Modern Aymara this suffix persists only on
the negative particle jani. (It is a productive final
suffix in Jaqaru; see Hardman 1966.) It is classified
as a nonfinal suffix in Aymara because its allomorph
/-rara/ has occurred before -raki nonfinal independent
on a stem. /-ray/ occurs only in Sitajara. /-:ra/ and
/-ra/ occur in Huancané. /-:ra/ occurs in La Paz/Compi.
/-rara/ occurs in Juli; /-rara/ and /-ra/ occur in
Jopoqueri. Elsewhere /-ra/ or /-:ra/ occurs.

Some occurrences of /-ray/ may be analyzed as
allomorphs of -raki (7-2.21.4). However, occurrences
of /-ray/ on jani occupy the same slot as /-ra/ and
/-rara/, with the same meaning, and therefore must

belong to this suffix. Examples:
