^'^No.^^'of'^^" LANGUAGE OF SANTA ANA PUEBLO — DAVIS 101 



Because of this irregularity, intransitive verb stems are listed sep- 

 arately for the singular, dual, and plural. 



2. Accentual changes and the alternation between voiced and voiceless 

 vowels in verb stew.s of the same number. — In some verbs the thematic 

 adjunct alternates from a short accented vowel in most forms to a 

 voiceless vowel in forms prefixed by pronominal morphemes of the 

 shape CVC-: 



s-6tid>'A my back 

 gac-Atid^A your back 



Verbs of this type also may show a shift to a voiceless vowel in the 

 verb core if the core is monosyllabic and normally contains a voiced 

 vowel: 



s-dd^d, my animal 



gac-Ad^A your animal 



Verb stems which exhibit this type of alternation are listed with the 

 thematic adjunct accent in parentheses: 



-'atid^A back 



-ad^d to possess an animal 



A few verb stems have a distinctive form which occm-s only following 

 prefixes composed of a consonant plus -i-. This form of the stem is 

 characterized by a breathy accent on the thematic adjunct and by a 

 final voiceless vowel: 



sid^A (si — I — id^A) I descended sikA (si — I — ikA) I looked 



gad^a (g- + -ad^a) he descended zfgd (z — \- -fgd) he looked 



These stems are listed thus: 



-fgd. (-ikA) to look 



Some transitive verbs normally characterized by a breathy accent 

 in the thematic adjunct take a level accent in those forms of the 

 primary paradigms in which a vowel cluster results from prefixation: 



g-iikACA he saw him 

 sf-ukA^A / saw him 



Stems that exhibit this type of change are listed with the following 

 notation: 



-ukACA (-VV-) to see 



A few type B intransitive verbs show a shift from a breathy to a falling 

 accent when the core is followed by -n-: 



zil-ku he went 

 zA-ne will go 



These are listed in the following manner: 



zil— u (z<i-n-) to go
