 e'-tcxEm-al what is boiled 185.7 

 k-tgE'-ka-l those who fly 60.5 

 After n as terminal sound of the stem, the ? of this suffix becomes 

 n (see § 8). 



8. -£ continued repetition. This suffix exhibits a number of curious 



traits in the manner in which it enters into combination with 

 words. It is only rarely suffixed without causing changes in 

 the preceding elements of the word. Often after t, m, x, u, it 

 appears in the form -niz.
