Summary of corn-pound demonstratives 1 



It will be noticed that the forms in -/, -iq, -(t)kiya, -kta, -tuya are adverbs, while those in -£w 

 are verbs or nouns. (See p. 58.) A number of others, particularly those in Aq following an 

 adverbial ending, -/a, -A-a, -fceca, -Ar'a are both adverbs and verbs. They are primarily verbs 

 which enter into combination with following verbs and assume adverbial character.
