The "infinitivizer" suffix in Quechua

Abstract

The Quechua has a suffix that forms new words which are been described as nominal deverbativo derivative, ie as a suffix that derived names from  lexical  items  of  a  verbal  nature.  However,  the  categorization  of his suffix as a nominal derivative entails a number of pitfalls which we try to solve in the present study in order to propose a feasible proposal with respect to the nominal or verbal status of the morpheme involved. Our research proposes a reclassification of the suffix in question, as the only taxonomic descriptions have defined it as a termination infinitive which constitutes personal forms, but whose nature is the nominal rate. The potential problem found in the traditional analysis of this suffix is refers to a nominal form as a product derived from a verb, however, the behavior of the derivative form is far from being strictly a name.
