  7. B) The two suffixes are used to mark the genitive is phonologically determined include (cat and house). The phonological features of suffix are dependent on the production and perception of sounds. For instance, cat can stem from (misij and misn) and house can stem from (wasin or wasij). This can be determined based on human sounds, phonemes, and allophones. The phonological component of grammar is a system of rules that assign each syntactic structure to specific phonetic representation based on their sound patterns and their meanings. Based on the P >> M mechanism, the superlative allomorphy use the same phonological constraints that drive the phonological processes. Notably, this model can show effects in morphology or constraints that commonly drive phonological processes in the world’s languages.
  8. C) The distribution of the two genitive suffixes relates to the syllable phonotactics of the language through the constant consequence of the Quechua such as / ‘trainer,’/brt’X’eli/ ‘flat. For example, in the name (Juan), the distinctive characteristics of Quechua consonant sequence are their unusual length and consistency in the initial word position. The clustering of the language presents the challenge of either structured or organized entity. The generalization regarding the occurrence of special features is only within the lexical morpheme and used to determine asymmetry between phonotactics and cross-linguistic.
  9. D) The genitive case is also known as the possessive case. For nouns such as atox ‘fox’, warmi ‘woman we add apostrophe S (’s) to show possession. This indicates that something belongs to another or a type of relationship between things.

The explanation of C’s D is:

= The C of D

= The C belonging to D (C is a thing)

= The C which has a relation with D (C is a person)

  1. E) Suffixes are interpreted markers of possesum, or possessor, of the object of the number and instrument. The inflectional suffixes do not change the meaning of the original meaning of the word. For example, verb conjugation suffixes, q + Ka- is habitual past tense, rqa- is a direct past tense marker. The verb suffixes include chi- causative indicator and ku- is a reflective function. The noun suffices to include nchik- which is the 1st person possessive and nku- which is the 2nd person plural possessive.
