S

A paradigm on the verb jagqu.rpa:.fia 'to throw away' was
elicited in Jopoqueri on the basis of a form that occurred
in conversation in Sitajara: jaqu.rpa:.t.pa.t ‘after

his throwing away, after he threw it away', which has

the personal possessive 3p -pa followed by -ta comple-
ment/relational, here meaning ‘after'. This was the only
instance for Sitajara of a personal possessive preceded
by a consonant instead of a vowel and probably is a
vestige of an earlier morphophonemic rule like that

now operating regularly in Morocomarca and sporadically
in Jopoqueri (see 5-3.24). The Jopoqueri paradigm based

on the Sitajara form is the following:

jaqu.rpa:.t.nha ‘what I threw out' (e. g. a former girl-
—Tp friend)

jagu.rpa:.t.ma ‘what you threw out’
2p

jaqu.rpa:.t.pa ‘what he/she/they threw out'
~ 3p

jaqu.rpa:.t.sa ‘what we threw out'
