Jc!c oh! (?) 

 As mentioned before, many of the imitative attribute comple- 

 ments may be used as interjections. This may, indeed, be their 

 original function. Such are JiEmm noise of wind, Jcumm noise of 

 DANCING, ]c!6mm silence. A few differ so much in form and use 

 from the attribute complements, that I include them among the 

 interjections: 



Jiu'IeIeIeIeIeIe noise of flight of an arrow 62.21 



wu'IeIeIeIe noise of flight of cormorants 77.16 



wa'tSEtsEtsEtsEtSE cTj of bluejay 31.2, 157.25

lid cry of a person weeping 118.8 



wduuu low voice 162.3 



Tcukuku. voice of bluejay after he had be- 



come a ghost 166.19 

 In this group belong also the burdens of songs, a few of which 

 occur in the texts. 



§ 50. Conjtinctions 



A number of invariable words perform the function of conjunctions. 

 The meanings of a few of these are not quite certain. The most 

 important are the following: 



lea and, then (connecting sentences) 26.18 



cJca and, while (connecting sentences) 25.4 



1c !a and (connecting nouns) 



tcx'l a little while passed, then 37.4 (often following the conjunc-
