lo the vocabulary in Ray's Report on the Point Barrow Expedition. 

 The following examples will serve to show the similarity of the flex- 

 ional endings with those from Greenland. But the peculiar signification 

 of the nominal participle is here still more distinctly indicated than 

 in the Mackenzie. 



The grammatical notes given by Veniaminow on the Kadjak dia- 

 lect are very trifling. However they contain an example of conjuga- 

 tion; it represents the stem: tiguvd he takes it, and evidently exhibits 

 a confounding of forms partly from this verb, partly from the half- 

 transitive tigusivoq (tgoma and tgotschichka !). 



Particles. 



To this class belong words which, except in a few instances, 

 have lost their flexibility or remained inflexible, and at the same time 

 differ from the interjections by being inapplicable save in connection 

 with other words, although in some cases this distinction is not to 

 be drawn sharply. They are divided into added and independent 

 particles. 



The added particles must always be appended to other words. 

 From the affixes however they differ by a less intimate coalescence 

 with the main word, especially in permitting this to be inflected 

 independent of the addition. The most common are: lo and; le but; 

 taoq also; lien-it or, even; me indeed, to be sure; toq expressing a 

 desire; lusoq like: goq one says.
