 wic'a'kici- 

 wic*(a')iikici- z 

 wic'a ukici-pi

3 Both forms. 



When these pronouns are in initial position the first dative has the accent on the second 

 syllable, while in the second dative the initial syllables we', ye', ki' , cH', ni' bear the accent. The 

 forms for I - thee, he - thee, of the two datives differ only in accent. The second datives are 

 obviously formed by the contraction of aki to e ; iki to i.

we'- I — mine 

 ye'- you — yours 



ki- he — his 

 uki'- we — ours
