Ye'kwana[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Suffix[edit]
-me
- Serves as an attributivizer to allow verbs nominalized with -tojo to function as a predicate in a subordinate clause of purpose with the meaning ‘in order to X’, ‘for X-ing’.
- Synonym: -je
Usage notes[edit]
This suffix causes syllable reduction so that -tojo becomes -to' and the combined suffix is -to'me. In the Caura River (Ye’kwana) dialect studied by Cáceres this suffix was only ever found in use in combination with -tojo.
