548 PHILOLOGY. 



ioh has for its genitive singular, kunim, ace. kunia; and in the plural kunimam, 

 kunimana. 



33. Besides the ordinary suffix or case-forms there is one much used with these two 

 pronouns, viz. : kiniin, sing., and kinimanin, pi. ; kuniin and kunimanin, signifying 

 with, in company with, this or that. The same suffix (in) is often attached to proper 

 names, and sometimes to common ones. Whenever this form is used, the verb in 

 connexion with it is always plural, though its nominative be singular ; as, kuniin 

 kushish, I am going with that one (lit. with that one we go). 



The adjective pronouns are compounded like the personal. 



34. There are three interrogative pronouns, viz. : 



ishi, who ? pi. ishima, relating to persons only 

 itii, what 1 pi. ituma, relating only to things, and 

 ma, which ? used of both persons and things 



Ishi has, in the genitive singular, ishinni, ace. ishina; gen. pi. ishimam, ace. 

 ishimana. ltd has, in the genitive singular, itunm, ace. ituna; pi. itumam, itumana. 

 Ma makes in gen. minm, ace. minia. 



Ishinin, itunin, itupama, miniin, miniapama, &c., are forms in frequent use. 



35. There are properly no relative pronouns in this language ; but a combination is 

 used which answers the purpose. It is formed by using a personal or adjective pronoun 

 in connexion with kah, a particle belonging to the class called declinable conjunctions. 



The uses of this particle are various. It is employed with a particular form of the 

 verb, which perhaps may be called a distinct mode, when it has the signification of thai, 

 in order that, that I may, &c. With the same form also, but not dependent on a 

 previous indicative mood, as in the former case, it has the sense of let; as, kah kush, 

 let me go. 



When used in conjunction with a personal or adjective pronoun, to supply the place 

 of a relative, if it relates to persons, the pronoun follows the particle ; if to things, the 

 pronoun precedes ; as, naks hikutatasha ka ipi wapsu hiwash, one is about to go who 

 is skilful. Ioh kah tsekaku ikuin hiwash, that which I have spoken is true. 



OF DECLINABLE CONJUNCTIONS. 



36. The class of words called, for the sake of distinction, declinable conjunctions, have 

 usually some properties of conjunctions, yet they are not simple connectives. Some of 

 them have merely an intensive force, while others serve as connectives between sentences. 



37. This class is varied according to number and person ; thus 



SINGULAR. PLURAL. 



1st person, kah, that hah or kanm 



2d person, kam kapam 



3d person, ka ka 



Kuh, if, perhaps, (used with a supposition.)
