PRONOUNS. 43 



second ; as, mayaduhapi, {me-you-have) you have me ; uijniyuhapi, (we-thee-have or 

 we-you-have) we have thee or we have you. 



2. Wi6a, the objective plural of the third person, when used in a verb with other 

 pronouns, is placed first ; as, widawakaska, (them-I-hound) I hound them. 



Number. 



§ 102. Incorporated pronouns, when intended to express plurality, have the plural 

 termination pi attached to the end of the word, whether verb, noun, or adjective ; 

 as, wayazaq, he is sick, waugyazaqpi, we are sick; wakaga, I make any thing, uq- 

 kagapi, we make ; nitasuqke, thy dog, nitasuqkepi, thy dogs or your dog or dogs ; 

 niwa^te, thou art good, niwastepi, you are good. 



Separate Pronouns. 



§ 103. The separate personal pronouns stand first in the clauses to which they 

 belong. 



a. They stand first in propositions composed of a pronoun and noun, or of a 

 pronoun and adjective ; as, miye Isaqmataqka, / am an American; uqkiye uqduwi- 

 tapi, we are cold. 



h. In a proposition composed of a pronoun and verb, whether the pronoun be 

 the subject or object of the verb ; as, uqkiye uqyaqpi kta, we will go ; miye maka- 

 6ka, (me he-hound^ he bound me. 



The separate pronouns are not needed for the purpose of showing the person and number of the verb, 

 those being indicated by the incorporated pronouns, or inflexion of the verb ; but they are frequently used 

 for the sake of emphasis : as, nisurjka he :^upi he ; hiya, he miye makupi, (thy-brother that was-given ? 

 no, that me me-was-given) was that given to thy brother ? no, it was given to me ; ye masi wo ; hiya, 

 miye mde kta, {to-go me-command ; no, me I-go will) send me ; no, I will go myself. 



c. When a separate pronoun is used with a noun, one being the subject and the 

 other the object of the same verb, the pronoun stands first ; as, miye mini wa6iq, 

 (me water I-want) I want water ; niye toka kiq niyuzapi, (you enemy the you-took) 

 the enemies took you. But when the pronoun is the object, as in this last example, 

 it may stand after the noun ; as, toka kiq niye niyuzapi, (enemy the you you-took) 

 the enemies took you. 



d. In relative clauses, the separate pronoun is placed last ; as, wi6asta hi koq 

 he miye, (man came that me) I am the man who came ; 6ni6iyapi kiq hena uqkiyepi, 

 (you-help the those we) we are they who help you. 



e. The adverb ']iiq6a' is often used with the separate pronouns to render them 

 more emphatic ; as, miye hiq6a, (me very) my very self; niye nitawa hiq6a, (thee 

 thine very) truly thine own. 



f. In answering questions, the separate pronouns are sometimes used alone ; as, 

 tuwe he6oq he ; miye, who did that ? I; tuwe yaka he ; niye, whom dost thou mean ? 

 thee ; tuwe he kaga he ; iye, who made that ? he. But more frequently the verb is 

 repeated in the answer with the pronouns ; as, he tuwe kaga he ; he miye wakaga, 

 (that who made ? that me I-made) who made that ? I made it ; tuwe yaka he ; niye 

 <Si6a, (whom meanest-thou ? thee, I-thee-mean) whom dost thou mean ? I mean thee.
