ADVERBS. 57 



2. When ' ota ' relates to animate objects, it may have the plural termination, but 

 is generally used without it. When it relates to the human species, and no noun 

 precedes, it has ' wi6a ' prefixed ; as, wi6ota hipi, many persons came, or a multitude 

 of persons came. 



3. When ' ota ' relates to a number of different companies of persons, it has 

 what may be called a double plural form, made by prefixing 'wi6a' and by 

 reduplication ; as, wi6ok6ota ahi, companies of persons have arrived. 



Repetition and Omission of Adjectives. 



§ 173. 1. When the same thing is predicated of two or more nouns connected 

 by conjunctions, the adjective is commonly repeated with each noun ; as, suktaqka 

 kir) waste ka (Saqpahmihma kii) wa^te, the horse is good, and the waggon is good. 



2. But sometimes a single adjective is made to apply to all the nouns by using a 

 pronominal adjective or demonstrative pronoun ; as, suktaqka kiq ka daqpahmhma 

 kiq napin wa^te, the horse and the waggon are both good ; wi6aBta ka winohiqda kiq 

 hena wasteste, man and woman, they are beautiful ; Hepaq ka Hepi ka Hake, hena 

 iyuhpa haqskapi, Hepan, and Hepi, and Hake, they are all tall. 



3. When two nouns are connected by the conjunction ' ko ' or ' koya,' also, the 

 adjective is only used once ; as, ^uktaqka 6aqpahmihma ko si6a, (horse waggon also 

 bad) the horse and the waggon also are bad.

ADVERBS. 



§ 174. Adverbs are used to quaUfy verbs, participles, adjectives, and other 

 adverbs ; and some of them may, in particular cases, be used with nouns and 

 pronoims ; as, iwastedaq mani, he walks slowly ; sidaya hduha uq, he is keeping it 

 badly; nina waste, very good ; kitaqna taqyaq, tolerably well; he 6aq sni, (that 

 wood not) that is not wood ; tonitaqhaq he, (whence-thou) whence art thou ? 



Position. 



§ 175. 1. Adverbs are commonly placed before the words which they qualify ; 

 as, tagyaq wauq, / am well ; 6i6aya ohaqyaqpi, they do badly ; nina waste, very 

 good. 



2. a. The adverbs 'iiq6a' and 6ni' follow the words which they qualify; as, 

 wa^te hiq6a, very good ; e6oq kte hii)6a, he wishes very much to do it ; e6oqpi 6ni, 

 they did not do it. 



b. The adverbs of time, ' kiqhai),' '6a' or 'e6a,' 'j^ehaq,' and ' 6oh,' are placed 

 after the words to which they relate ; as, yahi kiqhaq, when thou earnest ; waqyaka 

 e6a, when he sees it. 



3. a. Interrogative adverbs commonly stand at the beginning of the clause or 

 sentence ; as, toke6a wowapi dawa sni he, why dost thou not read ?
