persons also fall together in certain verbal inflectional
suffixes in Sitajara.

Ip and 4p falling together as subject:

1+3 and 4+3 F for sa.fia: /sa.ni.wa.nh(a)/ (1>+3)
Tp and 4p falling together as complement:
3>1 and 354 I: /-itpan/ (3+1)
3>1 and 3+4 D-2: /-irijsta:na/ (324)
3+1 and 354 S for sa.fia: /s.itu/ (3-1)
As may be seen above, in most cases the form with 4p falls
out, leaving the form with Ip to do duty for both.

In Huancané, Ip and 4p have fallen together as com-
plement in 3+1 and 3+4 I /-itp(a)/, the 3+1 form now being
used for both. The same seems to be happening in Morocomarca
with 3>1 and 3+4 D-2, as at first the 3+1 form, /-itasp"ana/,

was given for both 3+1 and 3+4.
