There are apparently a few cases in which this suffix weakens the 

 stem. I found the two forms qd'tslsga and qd'ga to walk 

 AMONG, derived from qds- to walk. 



It is also used to express the superlative : 



g'i'lt!- long g-%'lt!aga long among (i. e., the 



longest) 



la. -ganie^. This suffix may belong here, although its use as a 

 word-suffix and the indifferent action upon the last consonant 

 make its relations doubtful. 



g'l'game^ head chief ( = chief among others) 

 xwd'klunagame^ excellent canoe ( = canoe among others) 

 ^nd'last! Egame^ the eldest one X 3.32 ♦
