 It is uncertain in many of the endings in -sk'^ whether they are 

 derived from stems ending in -s, or whether they belong to the 

 suffix -sk^. The same is true of forms in -tk^^ which may be 

 derived from stems ending in -t or represent the suffix -tk^. The 

 following have probably the suffix -tk'^: 

 yaltk^ to return laltl'^ slow 



daltk^ to meet ptaltk^ to climb 



de'entk'^ to guide 

 The same conditions are found in Tsimshian, but it does not seem 



necessary to give additional examples. 

 -A In the Tsimshian dialect, words ending in p, t, s, ts, q, x, x, 

 and sometimes in I (i. e., those corresponding to the group 

 with the suffix -k [no. 3, p. 345]) have, instead of -sk (no. 2, 

 p. 344), -A. The terminal consonant is here modified, as 

 before the suffix -En (no. 1, p. 344).

 and 4, p. 345) after k\ x\ k^, q, and x.
