Besides glottalization <strong>and</strong> the 2SUB.sg –ti" <strong>and</strong> 2SUB.pl –titi" suffixes, suppletive forms <strong>of</strong><br />

certain morphemes are associated with second person subject. This is the case with four verb<br />

roots, one inflectional affix, <strong>and</strong> three derivational suffixes, as summarized in Table 4.7.<br />

Table 4.7 Second person suppletive allomorphs<br />

In verbs with 2 nd person subject, all relevant morphemes occur in the 2 nd person suppletive form,<br />

such that second person subject may be multiply exponed. This may be seen in examples 74 <strong>and</strong><br />

75, as well as in the following:<br />

77) "aatooqas%pátpaati&<br />
