Nouns, with which we are here chiefly concerned, are readily derived 

 from verbs and verbal combinations through the use of suffixes which, 

 like the verbal endings previously mentioned, designate general or 

 class ideas. Verbs are sometimes employed as nouns without the use 

 of such suffixes. Nouns compounded of simpler nouns or of other 

 words are frequent. In the plant names hereafter given it will be seen 

 that one noun in such compounds frequently bears a possessive or 

 adjectival relation to the principal. In such cases this relation is 

 indicated by the addition of n or of m or by using the particle tin or tim 

 more discretely. For example: 



ni'-am, my, mine. From ni'-a, I, + m. 



ai'-tln-dain-ti, bore of a gun. From ai'-ti, gun, + n, + dain'-ti, hole. 



Tim'-pin-o-gwut, Provo River. From tim'-pi, stone, + n, + o'-gwut, 



river. 

 Ai'-bvm-pa, Deep Creek. From ai'-ba, clay, + m, + pa, water, 



stream; i. e., "clay water." 

 to'-go-un-go-na, Painted cup (Castilleia). From to'-go-a, snake, + 



tin, + gu'-na, fire; i. e. ; "snake fire."
