Ld'gu contains gu and a connective zd 



Ld'guda contains Ld and gut 



Ld'xa contains Ld and xa 



Lgl'xATh contains xau and perhaps Ld and gi ' 



Still another non-independent connective seems to be used with 

 the reflexive suffix in q.'e'uAn for themselves. Gd'wan in the above 

 list is simply the past tense of the verb gao to be wanting, and go' da 

 is the word for buttocks. Gua and gui are probably compounded 

 of ga and gei or gi respectively, with gu; and gut is perhaps from gu 

 and at, or else the suffix indicating motion (see below). Qd'li insides, 

 and Xl^'li in the mouth of, are also used as nouns, meaning the 

 insides of a man or animal, or a sound (body of water), and the inside 

 of the mouth, respectively. Gand'n is perhaps simply the continu- 

 ative verbal suffix duplicated. 



Leaving out these affixes, therefore, along with a few others which 

 occur rarely, it seems as if the following list represented the stems 

 of the original connectives : 



at or al su gAn 



uied stA gei 



un gai qa'odi 



ya gu q'.ol 



hao gi q.'eu 



djin or dji gien xet 



da gia lu 



dlt l\'ia Lga 



t.'a ga Ld 



t!dl gdat Iget 



sa gado' 



-t is suffixed to connectives to indicate motion of an object in the 

 situation specified by the connective.
