In Jopoqueri and Morocomarca and to some extent
in La Paz, a -fia nominalized verb plus personal possessive
suffix may be reverbalized (with vowel length) and then
inflected. Most often, 3+3 inflections occur, the subject
then being the obligation that is possessed. In Moroco-
marca 1+3 and 2+3 inflections also occurred. Examples,

all with the Remote Direct Knowledge tense, are as follows:

Sar.xa.fi.nha.:.:n.wa. 'I had to go.' (Jopoqueri)
go Tp oV 333 ('My going was necessary.')
