MORPHOLOGY AND SYNTAX 



91 



Reflexives are also sometimes used parallel with possessive forms: 



p'ahta' to tie a bundle, p'awe'Rta I tie mine, p'ami' c'ihta I tie it for my own use 



Possessives are also used for expressing indirect objects: 

 we'c'u I give to my own (not "I give my own") 



§ 105. Verbs in ka- and ki- and Related Forms 



A number of verbs have forms analogous to possessives which express I - thine, his ; thou 

 mine, his; he - mine, yours. 



wic'a'miyec'u you give mine away to them, also 1st dative; — wic'a'miyecic'u 2d dative. 



All verbs with the instrumental prefix ka- have these forms which take the place of the 

 first dative. 



miye'caksa you cut mine; — c'i'caksa I cut yours 



The second dative is regular we'd- etc. 



Verbs with inseparable prefix ki- follow the same pattern, but the forms given above do 

 not refer to an object possessed, but to a direct object. In all these the waki- form is missing; 

 the second dative refers to the possessed object or expresses that the action is performed in place 

 of another one who ougbt to have done it. The third person differs from the series given above 

 in having the accent on the second syllable. 



kic'o he invites him, u'e'c'o I invite him, we'cic'o I invite his, I invite in his place, mi'c'o he invites me, 

 mi'cic'o he invites mine or in my place 



In the same way: 



kic'q to wail; — kikcq'pta to condole; — kig.le'ga to catch up with; — kig.na' to comfort 



k'i' to carry on back, is treated in the same way: we'c'i I carry him on back, k'\' he carries it (inanimate) 



on the back. kic'\ he carries his own (animate) on his back; ki'c'i he carries him on his back; wak'i' 



a load 

 kte' to kill follows the same pattern as words with prefix ka-. The only difference is that there is no form 



ki'kte he kills his (another one's), but in its place kikte' he kills for him, he kills his own, and he 



kills another one's. The form waki'kte means I kill it, or I kill mine for him; miktepi they killed 



mine 56.10 

 g.le' to set aside, g.na'ka to lay away have the series we'-, etc., for the possessive and 1st dative. The 



forms of the pattern icaki- are rarely used, but express I set, lay aside his, etc. The third person 



has the accent on the second syllable like kte' : kig.le , kig.na'ka he has his own set, laid away, or he 



has it set, laid away for him 

 Also kic'i'ca to be with; instead of mi'c'ica he is with me mi'c'i \' is perferred; ni'c'i way.' I am with thee 



Exceptions are kiyu'k^q which forms only waki'yuk*q I make room for him (perhaps from 

 kiyu'ok ( q, cf. wapa'ok'q to make room by pushing). 



aki't'o to be tattooed; — kini' to come to life; — {wa)kini'hq to honor someone; — nawa' kimizi 13 

 I am jealous of someone; have no datives and no possessives.
