    Abstract

    Person marking in Tiwa has been described as obligatory verbal inflection with values for all person categories. This is not the case; the only true verbal person marker indexes 1SG subjects, as is clearly demonstrated in this paper. The misconstrual of Tiwa person marking raises interesting and important methodological issues in both data collection and in analysis.
