§ 41. NOUNS AND VERBS DERIVED FROM PARTICLES. 



Many particles (see § 46) can be used as stems of nouns. I have 

 found the following examples: 



i-yuLll pride 74.11 (from yuL.'l proud) 



tkle'waxETna torches 27.22 (from wax light, to shine) 



ik'.e'wax flower 165.27 (from wax to bloom) 



ewaxo'mi copper (from wax light, to shine) 



ik.'wac-o'mi fear 213.10 (from hlwac afraid) 



igi'LqJwp cut 46.2 (from LqJwp to cut) 



ige' LlniEnLlmEn syphilis (from L.'m.En soft, rotten) 



natslE'x piece 69.3 (from ts'.EX to tear) 



naLXoa'p hole 23.7 (from Lxoa'p to dig) 



nalo'lo something round (from lo'lo round) 



-xd'pEnic a woman gives herself in payment for services of a 



shaman 203.11 (from pa'nic to give in payment for services of 



a shaman) 

 -ge'staqloam to go to war 270.1 (from staq! war) 

 L-xq!am to be lazy (from qfam lazy) 

 ne-dxaxome to notice 40.14 (from xdx to notice) 

 ce'lcjJElEpt it boils {hovajEp to boil) 

 -xd'giLqlup to cut one's self (from Lq.'up to cut) 



Nevertheless this series of stems is sharply set off from all others, 

 since the latter never occur without pronominal elements, excepting 

 a few vocatives that have been mentioned in §39.
