After ]c sounds with u tinge, this ending is -uit; after a terminal o,

(7), -Em, (9), and all the suffixes of the fourth group. 



a-L-g-o-L-dHt-amit it causes her to sit 249.3 (combined with -a-it) 

 a-tc-o' -Tctcilit-amit he roasted her 94.4 



After a terminal o, the two vowels o and a are contracted to o.

3. -X'it, with intransitive verbs, to be caused; with transitive 



verbs, this suffix forms a passive. Preceded by -a-it (1), -tck 

 (6) ; followed by all the suffixes of the fourth group. 



a-L-u-waf-x'it it is caused to be pursued 

 a-n-o-qun-d'it-x'it I was caused to lie down 45.5 

 a-y-o-ld' -tcku-x'it he was made to begin to rise 137.5 



4. -am TO complete a motion, to go to. Followed by all the suf- 



fixes of the fourth and fifth groups. 



a-tc-i-'t-JcL-am he came to take him 26.6 



n-i-xa-t-ngd'-p!-am he arrives inside running 

 When the directive -o- is changed to an -a- before Jc sound, and 

 when, in accordance with the law of harmony, the a in am 

 would have to be changed into -o-, this change is made, even 

 though the a before the Ic sound is substituted for the -o. 



a-tc-t-a' -x-om he did them reaching (he reached them) 

 a-q-L-g-a'-^-om some one met it 117.24 



This -0- is retained even where the -t- is substituted for -o-.

Lgd'lEmam go and take it 25.26 



exikiuEmam go and search for him 25.14 



nxoguile'Tnama I shall go to shoot birds 



aLgdguixe'mam they invited them 98.19 



aqaxiMcgo'mam one gives her in marriage 250.19 



The form ayo'yam he arrives, from d'yo he goes, forms an 

 apparent exception to this rule. Presumably the verb to go 

 contains a stem -y- which is suppressed in some forms.
