Note that in the second example given above for
La Paz/Compi the subject 2p pronoun juma does not corre-
spond to the 3p subject of the verbal inflection, 3-3
RDK -:na. In the second example given for Morocomarca,
on the other hand, the 2p pronoun juma does correspond
to the 2p subject of the verb inflection, 2+3 RDK -yata.

Another paradigm built on a possessive phrase
acting as subject occurred in Jopoqueri, Morocomarca,
and Calacala. It was objected to by a speaker from
La Paz/Compi as sounding translated from Spanish. It
uses the verb ut.ja.na 'to exist’ with 3-3 inflection,
here the Simple tense -i. In Jopoqueri the pronoun is
suffixed with -na; in Morocomarca and Calacala it is
not, as in the case of La Paz/Compi mentioned above.

Examples:

Juma.n sar.xa.fi.ma.w ut.j.i. ‘You have to go.' (Jopoqueri)
2p go ~ 2p 3+3
