It appears from the rules and examples here given that the incho- 

 atives of stems in Ic' and x', Ic'^ and ac", q and x, q^ and a;", l and I 

 can not be distinguished. The number of stems ending in a 

 fortis is very small, but all those that I have found take the 

 ending -xHcl preceded by a release of the vocal cords. I have 

 no examples of stems ending in a sonant and taking the ending 

 -x'Hd. 



A few cases are apparently irregular, ])resumably on account of 

 secondary changes in the stem. 



(iax"-) to stand Ld'x^wld 



(tox^-) to go forward to'xfwld 



Both these stems are often treated as though they ended in -o, 

 not in -x", but the relationship of these two sounds has been 

 pointed out before. 

 91. -l^o) continuative. Inste«is ending in a long vowel, it is added 

 to the terminal vowel. With stems ending in a consonant, it is 

 generally connected by an obscure e, but also by a long a. 

 Terminal f and t sounds, including nasals in suffixes and 

 stems, seem to require long a, while s occurs both with e 

 and a. In stems ending in a Jc sound with u or i tinge, it 

 is added to the vocalized tinge. In all suffixes that may 

 take a terminal -a (no. 1), it is added to this -a.

This suffix is evidently contained in the suffixes -^rmkula (no. 94), 

 -k'ldla (no. 144), -iHdla (no. 5), -g'aciLEla (no. 96), -ulEla (no. 

 93), -g-ila (no. 136). 

 Examples of its use after various classes of sounds are the 



following : 

 After long vowels —

hamg'l'la to feed 7.6 d'la real 9.5 



^wl'Ha entirely 10.8 axk'fd'la to ask 7.5 



After stems ending in a l~ sound with u or i tinge —
