Lower Chinook prepositional elements are practically absent, but we 



find the demonstrative go, which is used almost like a preposition. 

 id'c go iqe'p.'al he was in the doorway 65.3 

 atcd'yaqc go id'tulc he bit him at his neck 9.9 

 naxalgu' Litclc go ogo'xd she told her daughter 11.20 

 atcLi'tJcLain go we'wuLe they brought it into the house 11.23 

 po'po ags'Lax go Ltcuq she blew on them with water 12.6 

 agio' xtkiriEma go te'lxim she searched for him among the people 

 13.8 

 The demonstrative character of go appears in sentences like — 

 rab'ya md'hxole go go there inland! 13.1 

 a'lta gd-y-o^o' Lax now (when) there the sun 13.5 

 Lo'nas go Lqetcame'U zkex perhaps a comb is there 13.20 

 go no' yam b^d'hax there arrived the sun 97.16 

 It will be shown in § 56 that Wishram possesses quite a number 



of post-positional elements. In Lower Chinook a few of these appear, 



clearly loan-words, taken from Upper Chinook: 

 yukfE't up to here 13.9 

 IcapE't igo-pE't?) up to there, enough 98.4 



In Kathlamet the number of post-positional elements is greater, 



but only one or two are used with any degree of freedom : 



-pa. This post-position takes the place of go of the Lower Chinook. 



It is used quite freely (see § 56.1). 



igixk .'od'mam tE'ctaqLpa he arrived at their two selves' house 91.13* 



itcLOLd'etamit Laxi Lexd't ztcu'qoapa q.'od'p he placed it that one 



at the water near 121.4 

 q.'at igl'yuxt e'tcamxtcpa like she did him her heart in 132.5 

 Here belong also the common demonstrative adverbs — 

 lid' pa there 216.9 

 gipd' here 250.14 

 -pM, The post-position -pEt is not quite free in Kathlamet. 

 gipE'tEinax to those places 131.10 

 e'lxpdt as far as the ground 67.12 

 -ta toward. 



id'ya e'wata ca'xalata he went there, then upward 219.2 

 -at from 



e'wa id'potcd't Lqd'wulqt hdx iu'xox then from his anus blood came 

 out 184.5. 

 -te like.

247.6
