Shawi #

Shawi (Chayahuita; Kawapanan, Peru) inflects the verb for the person and number of both the subject and the object, on a minimal/augmented number system with a clusivity contrast in the first person, and marks some transitive subjects with the ergative suffix -ri while objects stay unmarked. The agreement tables are those of [CD26], compiled from [Har88], [BdG05] and Ulloa's corpus work; the ergative data are [Bou15]'s.

Implementation notes #

Clusivity is a person value (Person.firstInclusive, Person.firstExclusive), and the clusivity-neutral Person.first is not a cell of the paradigms. Number is Number.minimal and Number.augmented, so first inclusive minimal is the speaker–addressee dyad. The glottal stop is written ', and a segment in parentheses varies across the sources. A null exponent and an absent cell are both none.
