An example of the fourth person used in the context of drink-
ing even when the addressee is not or was not involved in

the action, is the following, describing the serving of

chicha:

another another another serve 4-3
S

'One by one by one we (you and I) serve them. . . ' (Sitajara)

Another example involving eating was given by Tschopik (1948:

110). A condor says to a fox who has challenged him to a
duel

+, . . rr
Jiwa.ta.chapi.ru.sti manqg'a.nta.si.nani.wa.
one who is dead and eat 4-+3

F/I

‘And the one who is dead you and I will eat.'

What is meant is that the winner of the duel will eat the

_ loser.
