This pattern is used in most EK varieties, including Napo. Observe the wh-word question in (11) a 4.1.2.2 Emphatic negation. Here, the strategy is the addition of suffix -chu and/or subject displacement. Emphatic negation is evident in existential sentences in Napo Kichwa. Positive and negative existential sentences display the subject at initial |
