6.2.3.4 Position 9 Pass-by tii-. Pass-by tii- is much less commonly found in free variation with<br />

other prefixes than kii-, with which it is mutually exclusive, hence is placed in the same slot. It<br />

occasionally appears in reverse order with the object plural kaa-, as in example 13, <strong>and</strong> with<br />

reciprocal laa- (see example 7). When tii- was given in reverse order with an outer prefix,<br />

speakers tended to interpret it as the counterfactual ti-, no matter how careful my pronunciation<br />

<strong>of</strong> the long vowel.<br />
