WORD:not
Dizi:nan...ti ~ tan...ti1
Beachy 2005: 138. Analyzed as the combination of a negative verbal root nan- with the negative enclitical particle -ti. Beachy: "The word nan 'Neg' always co-occurs with another negative marker, -ti 'Ng', which is suffixed to the lexical verb being negated. So, verbal negation is redundantly marked." There is also a special verbal variant nɛ that occurs only before suffixes that begin with -i-. Cf.: a=sar-as nan-a yin-is gɛ-ki-ti "he has not said his name to me"; nɛ-it-ɨ tʼus-ki-ti "you (pl.) have not known". Additionally, Beachy mentions that a free variant of nan is tan ("more common in Central Dizin than in Eastern Dizin"), and this is precisely the variant that is described in [Allan 1976: 387]: tā-...tì (actually, tān...tì).
Nayi:=ōā2

Hellenthal 2010: 492. Verbal stem: 'to be white'. In [Bender 1971: 262], the equivalent for 'white' is gaːʔı-ns; it is not clear if this is a unique "deformation" of the regular word or a completely different lexical item.
NUMBER:98
WORD:who
Dizi:iːki ~ iki1
