169 Our analysis here differs from Cabral (1995:380), who segments Roaya as roa ya neg 3+. However, Cabral’s<br />
segmentation is untenable for a number <strong>of</strong> reasons. Although the negative morpheme Rua is indeed attested in<br />
modern Omagua, Cabral identifies the other element she segments <strong>of</strong>f as the Kokama-Kokamilla 3sg.fs pronoun<br />
ya= (see Vallejos Yopán (2010a:201)), which is not found in modern Omagua (see Table 2.2). Moreover, this is a<br />
feminine genderlect form; but recall that the ecclesiastical materials are written in the masculine genderlect (see<br />
footnote 162), making the identification <strong>of</strong> with the feminine genderlect Kokama-Kokamilla pronoun form<br />
doubly problematic. A second difficulty with Cabral’s analysis is posed by the position <strong>of</strong> : pronominal<br />
proclitics in Omagua never attach to the interrogative enclitic =tipa, as they attach only to nominal, verbal and<br />
postpositional hosts. Finally, analyzing as a pronoun <strong>of</strong> any type in this sentence is problematic for syntactic<br />
reasons, since that the verbal argument is already expressed by muRa, the 3sg.ms pronoun (note that this forces<br />
Cabral to gloss muRa as emph). The sequence nevertheless remains perplexing: see §2.3.4.1 for additional<br />
discussion <strong>of</strong> Roaya. See also Cabral (1995:381) for additional problematic segmentations involving a supposed<br />
3sg.fs ya=.<br />
