2.6.4.4.3.2 Person/aspect suffixes –ti" <strong>and</strong> –li". <strong>The</strong> suffix –ti" marks a second person singular<br />

subject in the progressive <strong>and</strong> perfective aspects, <strong>and</strong> –li" marks perfective aspect (<strong>and</strong> is<br />

occasionally found in the progressive aspect) with first <strong>and</strong> third person subjects. Both are<br />

associated with an antepenultimate stress pattern. Following a vowel-final stem with antepenult<br />

stress in the perfective, both <strong>of</strong> these suffixes delete entirely. After an obstruent the lateral <strong>of</strong> –li"<br />

optionally spiranticizes to -". For perfective forms in which –ti" is deleted, 2 nd singular subject is<br />

instead marked by glottalization <strong>of</strong> the final consonant. In the progressive aspect, -ti"<br />

exceptionally does not delete.<br />
