3. tia- is a local prefix. 



naLxoa';p hole (from Lxoa']) to dig)

4. -fe a suffix signifying tree, wood. 



ogue'pxate alder ( = wood for dyeing) . 



5. -tk is a nominal suffix the significance of which is quite obscure. 



In a few cases it indicates the point of an object, but in many 

 cases this explanation is quite unsatisfactory. It seems pos- 

 sible that this suffix is the same as the verbal stem -tk to put 

 DOWN, TO DEPOSIT, SO that its meaning might be something 

 on the ground, or something attached to something else, or a 

 part of something else. This explanation would be satisfactory 

 in words like — 



I'fotitk forearm 



ige'luxtcutk arrow-head 



iwa'uEmatk belly-cut of a fish 



ilEme'tk bed may be derived from -elx ground, and may mean 



PUT DOWN ON THE GROUND 



iJcaLXE'lEmatk may mean put down to eat from (= dish) 

 The following list contains some stems with their nominal and
