3. ha' ma for, belonging to. This is evidently the Yakima suffix 



-pama for. Examples of its use with denominating words are :

 and get me the woman 62.25

Less commonly hama may precede. An example is — 



Jam' iLxe'wulx aMugwi" ilJda'lamat he carries rocks for (i. e., in 

 order to gain) strength 186.17 (cf. iLxe'wulx hama 188.2) 



When used at the beginning of a predication, hama gives it the 

 meaning of a clause of purpose. Examples tire: 



ha'ma la'-itcka a'lEm' atcludi'na in order that he might kill them 

 54.2 (literalh^, for them will he-will-kill-them) 



hama capca'p qiuxu'nnil il'a'ha 188.19 for chopping up the ice 

 (literally, for chop-up it-is-always-made the-ice) 



When accented (hama'), it is used after predicates to mean ever 

 SINCE. An example is — 

 nkla'ckachama' l\'d'ya qxantcix itctcgE'mEm ever since I was a 

 child I have never been sick 190.9 



4. {E)nEgi with, by means of, less frequently made out of. It

 are —

 Lq'.o'p galgi'ux aqE'uEli'c E'uEgi they cut it off with the stone knife
