‘You rest while we go work.’<br />
Modern =katikatu may additionally encode the temporal anteriority <strong>of</strong> a period <strong>of</strong> time relative<br />
to some point in time (e.g., see English ‘until’). In this construction =katikatu appears in the clause<br />
containing the predicate that denotes a point in time, as in (2.66).<br />
(2.66) Modern Omagua<br />
tanaayukaka tanauk w aRikatikatu.<br />
tana= ayuka -ka tana= uk w aRi =katikatu<br />
1pl.excl.ms= hit -recip 1pl.excl.ms= be.tired =temp.succ<br />
‘We fought until we got tired.’<br />
Both *=kate and *=katekatu can be reconstructed to Proto-Omagua-Kokama (see Michael et al.<br />
(in prep)), where the former exhibits the same function as Old Omagua =kate and the latter encodes<br />
the temporal succession characteristic <strong>of</strong> synchronic =katikatu. Thus it is evident either that the<br />
distinction between the two morphemes has collapsed since the writing <strong>of</strong> the ecclesiastical texts,<br />
or that the apparent collapse is the result <strong>of</strong> language attrition.<br />
2.3.7.4 Manner Adverbial Marker =pupe<br />
The instrumental =pupe (elsewhere a postpositional enclitic that attaches to nouns (see Table 2.17))<br />
attaches to a verb to express the manner in which a given event is realized. This construction is<br />
not attested in the ecclesiastical texts, 94 but is in Veigl’s sketch <strong>of</strong> Old Omagua, as in (2.67).<br />

latin: ‘loquendo ego, per modum instrumenti’<br />
english: ‘with me speaking, as an instrument’<br />
(Veigl 1788:199)<br />
It is also attested in modern Omagua, as in (2.68).<br />

94 In the ecclesiastical texts, the comitative =mukui appears in place <strong>of</strong> =pupe, but we analyze the appearance <strong>of</strong> the<br />
latter =mukui in this construction as a calque (see §9.3.2.1).<br />
