50 lokd'npinwebissim kept crawling into, toward. The main stem here is lok- to crawl on hands 

 AND KNEES, OR ON BELLY (l'6'kdoi-tsoia CRAWLED UP). This Stem is liere apparently combined with ono 

 TO GO, TRAVEL (from 0, the simple verb of movement) to form a compound verl), to go crawling. 

 The suffix -pin is the regular directive meaning toward, into (into the house, toward the girl), whereas 

 i\\e.-wehissim is the continuative already explained; cf. note 24. 



^^ tsa'nwono on one side of the house; tsan- is a stem referring to the side of anything, as tsa'na 

 (tsan'-na) sideways. The suffix -icono is somewhat puzzling. There is a verbal suffix apparently iden- 

 tical, indicating the past participle. Here, and again a few words farther on, it occurs in terms indicating 

 the parts of the floor of the house. 



52?/o;7ia'dom coiling around. The verbal stem is here i.'oi- meaning to coil, to twist, to turn, as 

 in o'liotditoikom one who is curly-headed (o'no head). The force of-fta is not known. The final 

 suffix is the present participle -dom. 



^ sdwo'nona toward the place opposite the door; so is the term for fire; the area back of the 

 fire, i. e., the other side of the fire from the door, is called sdwo'no, and is the place of honor. The final 

 suffix -na is the locative, meaning to, toward. 



51 opi'tinodom filling up. The stem opit-, meaning full, seems analyzable into -pit-, a stem entering 

 into sev^eral verbal forms (as hopi't-ivaitodom filllng and bursting; kapi'tdom pinching something 

 LIKE A berry and BURSTING IT), and a preflx(?) o- of uncertain meaning, possibly the prefix o- indicat- 

 iiij; actions done with the head (?). The suffix -ino following is probablj' -no, the suffix of generalized 

 motion, with a euphonic i. 



'•^''pu'iyam inkina to the threshold; pu'iya, meaning really the outside a.s contrasted with the 

 INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE, is often used for THE door, that which leads to the outside; -inki means the 

 BASE, BOTTOM, of a thing; -na is the locative toward. 



•'^opi'tsipdom filling it out. The stem here is the same as above (note 5-J), with, however, a different 

 suffix, -«ip, meaning out of, out from. The idea would seem to be that of filling the space so com- 

 pletely as to overflow, as it were. 



^'awete'n then; cf. note 40. 



^kide'm i'nkinan from beside the woman. This should probably be written as two words, although 

 in speech the two nouns are very closely run together. Kule' is the usual term for woman, and -nan 

 the locative meaning from. 



^ono'm HEAD (the subjective form with the -m). 



^ sd'ntsedo'nudom projecting, sticking up. As yet not analyzed satisfactorily. So- appears in a num- 

 ber of verbs as a stem whose meaning is doubtful. The -n is probably euphonic, while -tse may be the 

 common stem tse- to see. The following suffixes appear to be -doi, jneaning upward, and the vague 

 suffix -nil or -no, usually indicating simple motion {sowe'doitsoia crawled upward; sowe'kadoidom 

 standing upright). 



^^ tseko'nucbisstsoia kept looking steadily at, it is said. The stem here is tse- to see, which, with 

 the suffix -kon (perhaps related to -koi away), has the meaning to look at, to gaze on. The contin- 

 uative suffix -we'biss gives the idea of steadiness and fixity of gaze. 



^-bii'ssyatan after having stayed. The stem 6?m- has already been referred to. The suffix -!/a?a7i 

 is best translated by after having. 



^ Ib'ksiptsoia crawled out, it is said. The stem lok- has already been discussed. The suffix -sip 

 OUT OF has also already been referred to in note 56. 



" Ib'ksipebissim kept crawling out. Here the continuative -wcbissim is shortened to -ebissim. 



^'^lo'ksipbo'stsoia crawled wholly out, it is said. The suffix -bos gives the idea always of thorough- 

 ness, completion (see § 20, no. 39). 



66 mb'im he (in the subjective form).
