Derived prepositions. — Many prepositions are derived from a 

 combination of two rnorphemes. In these words dii- expresses near- 

 ness and yu- distance. Among the second elements, -ke- expresses 

 motion away from the speaker, -we- motion toward the speaker, -si a 

 return, and -?ai a fixed location: 



duk4- that way (near and away from the speaker) 



duw6- this way (near and toward the speaker) 



yiik^- that way (at a distance and away from the speaker) 



yuw6- this way (at a distance and toward the speaker) 



yusi back from afar 



yu^di there (located at a distance) 



Points of the compass. — Several types of derived forms are based 

 on the points of the compass, d^id^A north, ba west, ku south, and ha- 

 east. Motion toward the cardinal points of the compass is expressed 

 by the following derived forms : 



d^fdydrnf toward the north 



b9nd,mf toward the west 



kuwdmf toward the soxdh 



hd,-ndm£ toward the east 



Motion from the cardinal points is likewise expressed by derived forms: 



hd-ni from the east 

 bani from the west 



Terms for northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest result 

 from a combination of modified forms of the terms for the cardinal 

 points: 



d^idiyab^ northwest 

 kuyab^ southwest 



Less frequently occurring forms derived from the terms for the 

 points of the compass include those designating the east or the west 

 side of the river (the Rio Grande) and those designating the four 

 corners of the pueblo world : 



banfsd^ the west side 



hd-suku Santa Fe (literally east corner)
