Grammaticalization of the three aspect enclitics: a comparison

Of the aspect enclitics described in the preceding section, only-sita is frequently used. The independent verb-sita is equally frequent. The other two enclitics,-mayã and-yena, are rarer than the corresponding verbs. The use of the clitic form often depends on the choice of a particular main verb. All three aspect enclitics undergo phonological reduction in rapid speech.

Semantically, the passage from independent verb to enclitic involves metaphorical extension and change towards a more abstract meaning, which is what is expected in grammaticalization processes (see Nikiforidou 1996; Heine, Claudi and Hünnemeyer 1991:41ff.)

All three aspect enclitics participate in polygrammaticalization as illustrated in the following diagrams (relevant examples are indicated with numbers).
