本文描述了图卡诺语族中过去/完成时主谓一致形态的演变，重构了原图卡诺语族动词形态的相关方面，并描绘了图卡诺语族东部语族动词主语一致形态随后的历时发展。我们认为，累积表示过去/完成时和人称数性（png）主语一致的后缀是表达png信息的后言指示代词/代词与表达过去/完成时信息的后缀融合的结果。我们认为不同的png协议类别是在家庭多样化的连续阶段发展起来的，第三人称男性单数主语协议在其他png类别之前出现，其次是动画复数协议，最后是第三人称女性协议的发展。东图卡努语的结果是一个跨语言的不同寻常的协议系统，它对比了四种协议类别：(i)第一和第二人称单数和第三人称无生命（单数和复数）；（ii）第三人称动态阳性单数；第三人称有生气的女性单数；（iv）第三有生命的复数形式。
This article describes the evolution of past/perfective subject-verb agreement morphology in the Tukanoan family, reconstructing relevant aspects of Proto-Tukanoan verbal morphology and delineating the subsequent diachronic development of verbal subject agreement morphology in the Eastern branch of the family. We argue that suffixes that cumulatively expone past/perfective and person, number, and gender (png) subject agreement resulted from the fusion of post-verbal demonstratives/pronouns expressing png information with suffixes expressing past/perfective tam information. We propose that different png agreement categories developed at successive stages in the diversification of the family, with third person masculine singular subject agreement emerging before other png categories, followed by animate plural agreement, then finally by the development of third person feminine agreement. The result in Eastern Tukanoan was a cross-linguistically unusual agreement system that contrasts four agreement categories: (i) first and second person singular and third person inanimate (singular and plural); (ii) third person animate masculine singular; (iii) third person animate feminine singular; and (iv) third animate plural.
