pimianvasanda do not afterwards weep 



pimu-'rinda saddle me (the horse)! 



hacatsopua.u'kDa how will we carry them? 



kupimai'mutda thou shalt intoxicate her 



a'nitunra'kda 1 will give you your food (board) 



uiskiamno'ra'da I will wait for you 



apinda'giunda kindly absolve me (this man) 



81. -ka, continued future state. 



This is one of the loss f'roquent suffixes but the few cases of* its 

 occurrence point unmistakably to its use in cases of future continued 

 state, thus relating it to the similar past suffix -J:ai>. Like the 

 latter it may be used with nominal stems also. 



napurit-u'kuk-a that it may be our flesh 



varinki'amka it will be my house 



nanl)icimto"k-dak-a I will remember you 



kupiamitda'k'ta'ka do not desert us 



nanbwomatkiu"k-a so that I may live with her 



pic.u-'rinka leave (the horse) saddled thus 



kuaviamiputu'i'ka it must not be thus 



82. -i«, future. 



The suffix -ia is of very frequent occurrence. Just as the con- 

 tinuative suffixes -da and -dai>, -ka and -kan are related, so the 

 future suffix -ia seems to relate to the bare preterit. That is to 

 say, it is non-continuative and generally intransitive. 



naho'mai.ai'ya (in order) to overtake one 



a'ni'into'ocia I am going to sow here 



pinma'kia give me it! 



aticparn pkihi'mia we will walk a little ways 



apxai'vatukua'gia gather some wood! 



apbi no - 'rgia (when) will you return? 



83. -a, future. 



The future suffix -a is probably identical with the suffix -ia but 

 differentiated by phonetic laws. Jt is found solely with certain 

 verb stems, these being principally or exclusively those ending in 

 the consonants -n for the normal and -s for the iterative. The 

 suffix therefore practically amounts to -wa, -8a being by definition 

 impossible.
