Prefix

ji- (pluralma-)

  1. ji class(V) noun prefix and adjective agreement prefix
    jinojipyaa new tooth

ji- (pluralmaji-)

  1. augmentative prefix used with monosyllabic stems, puts words inji class(V)
    ji- + ‎mtu(person) → ‎jitu(giant)
Usage notes
[edit]

Many class V nouns have no prefix, in which case the plural is formed by simply prefixingma- to the word. This includes words that start with the augmentative prefixji-.

Only the adjective-pya takes the prefixji- in class V; its form isjipya. Some adjective starting with a vowel takej-, while possessive adjectives are irregular and takel-. Other adjectives take no prefix.

Nouns with a stem of more than one syllable and starting with a consonant get a zero prefix to form the augmentative:

mtoto(child) → ‎toto(large child)
