Chapter 7<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> Faith<br />
Below we give the Pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> Faith as it appears originally in the appendix to Uriarte’s diaries<br />
(Uriarte [1776]1986:617). In this way the reader can evaluate our decisions as to sentence breaks in<br />
comparison with those that (presumably) reflect the original <strong>manuscript</strong>. In (7.1)-(7.6) we present<br />
this short text in the format outlined in §3.1.<br />
Actus Fidei, Spei, et Chritatis, ac contritionis, simulque atritionis.<br />

close: ‘My master Jesus Christ, true God, true man, I truly believe in you and the<br />
things you say.’<br />
target: ‘My Lord Jesus Christ, true God, true man, I truly believe in you and your<br />
words.’<br />
249 See footnote 192.<br />
250 The appearance <strong>of</strong> diffuse locative =aRi would be ungrammatical in the corresponding modern Omagua sentence<br />
as the object <strong>of</strong> sapiaRi ‘obey, believe’ requires no oblique-licensing postposition. We suspect that the appearance<br />
<strong>of</strong> the diffuse locative is the result <strong>of</strong> a calque on the Spanish creer en ‘believe in’.<br />
