Verbs expressing arrival '%', hi', kH', g.li' may be combined in the usual way with other verbs, 

 when a purpose is to be expressed. 



kte-wa'hi I arrived here in order to kill him. 



The verbs expressing going and coming back to where one belongs (p. 92) do not express 

 purpose but the return from an accomplished action.

 . . .; — wakte'k'i he arrives home from . . .; — wayawag.li he came home from school

 precede in subordinate form. In all these forms 'ai' is contracted to V. 



'ahi'wakte I came and killed him; — 'e'wakte I went and killed him; — 'ag.li'wakte I came back and killed 

 him; — 'akH'wakte I went back and killed him
