in Achocalla and in all other dialects investigated except
Jopoqueri, Morocomarca, and Calacala, which have /-sana/.
Both /-sina/ and /-sna/ are used in Juli, Socca, and parts
of La Paz, apparently interchangeably.

Of the older sources, Bertonio (1603b) reported
both tsa and * sina. LaBarre (1950) cited both also,
but the former more often than the latter. Tschopik
(1948) sources evidently used * sa rarely, with greater
use of *7=sna/ and *y-sina/, especially the former.

Two texts obtained in most dialects illustrate
variation in occurrences of -sa and -sina (and variants
of the latter). The first is a saying about reporting
on the basis of personal knowledge (seeing with one's
own eyes), which was obtained in all Aymara dialects
except Calacoa and Sitajara. The version obtained in
Socca, which has /-sna/, is given below. (Other ver-

sions may be found in Appendix D.)
