Juli and La Paz use the same subordinate verb as that

used here, muy.ka.fia; others are t"ugu.fia or t"uq.ta.na

~

‘to dance, leap' (La Paz) and tan.ja.fia ‘to run' (Jopo-
queri). The following is the breakdown of incidence

of the suffixes in this riddle, by dialect:
-sa_ (La Paz, Juli, Jopoqueri, Salinas, Morocomarca)
/-sina/ (Juli, Calacoa)

Juli and Calacoa have the main verb usu.ri.:.fa ‘to
be ill' (euphemism for 'to be pregnant’) with different
subordinate verbs. The versions with -sa have one of
the following variants of ‘to get pregnant, expand':
q'ita.nma (Salinas and Jopoqueri), g'inta.fia (Salinas),
q'ipta.fia (Juli), and q"ipta.fia (La Paz).

It seems that where La Paz dialects would use
-sa or /-sSina/, Juli and Socca would use either /-sina/
or /-sna/, except that those dialects do use -sa with
sa.fna, as noted above. Use of both /-sna/ and /-sina/
in one sentence in a folk tale is the following from

Juli.
