FromProto-Cariban*-tɨpɨ +*-rɨ. The second morpheme is equivalent to-dü(possessive marker/nominalizer), but seems to no longer be analyzed as such in modern Ye'kwana.

• IPA^(key): [-ʔhʷɨɾ̠ɨ]

-'jüdü

1. Marks a noun as possessed in the past; used with almost all nouns.
2. Forms a noun of past or completed action from a verb; must be accompanied by a personal prefix and an indicator specifying the role of the verb argument indicated by the noun (intransitive argumentw-, transitive agentn-, or transitive patient∅-).

This suffix does not cause syllable reduction.

Verbs nominalized with this suffix take person markers of series II except when preceded by a word expressing the argument of the verb when the verb is intransitive. However, even in this latter case, if the argument is marked as an oblique argument of another verb in the sentence, person markings must be expressed.
