This paper focuses on the forms and functions of various comparative constructions found in Murui, a Witotoan language of Northwest Amazonia (Colombia, Peru). It analyses different types of comparative construction, their forms, and semantics. This includes a set of special markers that express comparison, as well as those forms that are used in equative and similative constructions
