7-4.21.3 ~yta realized action, resultant

This suffix requires a preceding vowel and keeps
its own vowel except before consonant-requiring suf-
fixes or when zero complement vowel drop occurs. Unlike -ta
complement/relational suffix ‘from, of', it does not
have an aspirated allomorph in any dialect so far
encountered. It is distinguished from all other homopho-
nous suffixes by morphophonemics as well as by distribu-
tion and function.

Like all nouns, -ta nominalized forms may occur

in the 3+3 Simple tense slot.
