The following examples show the distribution of
-ka compared to /-xa/ and /-:/ and plain vowel, all in

Calacala:
Kuna.s uka.k ? ‘What is that?'
Kuna.s aka. xa ? ‘What is this?'
Aka. misa.wa. 'This is a table.'
Naya chura.fi ch'ugi. ‘I will give him potatoes. '

An example which appears to have a reduced form of uka.n

‘in (someone's) place' (i. e. in someone's house) is the

following:

Uka k'us uma.p.xa.taw padre.[g]la.n am[bli ?
that chicha drink 333 no?
RIK

 

 

'They drank that chicha at the priest's nouse
(padre uka.n) didn't they?'

As mentioned earlier, uka summarizer does occur
in Morocomarca and Calacala, as in the following example
from Morocomarca which incidentally has vowel length on

uka.

dan chur.ita:t uka.: k'asa.:.wa. ‘If you don't give it
no give 2+] cry 133 to me, I'11 cry.'
