Jakaltek (Jacaltec) Auxiliary Verb Fragment #

[And06a]

Jakaltek (Mayan; Guatemala) has auxiliary verb constructions with a split inflectional pattern: absolutive (object) arguments are marked on aspectual auxiliaries, while ergative (subject) arguments are marked on lexical verbs. This is the reverse of the more common split where subject appears on the auxiliary.
