Note 338 — PART IV. LINGUISTIC. (continued 2)

“Es hat offenbar eine Zeit gegeben, in der ka alleiniges Pron. pers. für alle drei Personen war, erst allmählig entwickelten sich ño ka, ego, ka m, tu, ka y, ille.” J. J. von Tschudi, Organismus der Khetsua Sprache, s. 184 (Leipzig, 1884). In the language of the Baures of Bolivia when the verb takes the negative termination apico, the pronominal signs are discarded; thus, era, to drink, a drink; erapico—I, thou, he, we, you, they, do not drink. Magio, Arte de la Lengua de los Indios Baures, p. 82 (Paris, 1880). This reveals a time when both affirmative and negative verbals dispensed with pronouns altogether.
