'OS pu'iyanaki doorward. \ similar construction to that in note 107. For pu'iya, see note 55. 



109 opi'tsiptsoia filled up completely, it is s.\id (see note 54). 



^'0 be'ibom again (from the stem be'i- meaning again, another, and the suffix -bo of unknown 

 meaning). 



I'l mo' in SHE (that one). Subjective of the third personal pronoun singular, here used as demonstra- 

 tive. Phonetic change of -m to -n before k. 



"■ i'nkinan from beside; inki, meaning base, with the locative suffix -nan, meaning from. 



iw ti'ktena bii'ssdom staying a little w^hile; tikte alone has the meaning of slightly, somewhat, a 

 little; ti'ktena has a temporal meaning, a little while (is this -na the locative?); the verbal stem is 

 btiss- to stay, to remain, and has here the present-participle suffix. 



i'< bii'sswcten after staying (from the same stem bilss-, with the common suffix -wctcn. meaning 



AFTER. AFTER HAVING). 



"3 lo'kdo'nutsoia crawled up, it is said. The directive suffix -don here also has the general suffix of 

 motion -no (-nii). 



'■8 Hano'lcknantcnko'doidi in the Honey lake region. It is not clear yet whether Hano'lek is merely 

 the Indian pronunciation of the English name, or a real Indian name itself, of which the English name is a 

 corruption. The suffix -nan is the usual locative from, apparently meaning this side from, i. e., be- 

 tween here and Honey lake. The -te is a suffix of uncertain meaning, apparently nominalizing the locative 

 form preceding it. The -n is from -m before k, and is the connective. Ka'do, kodo, is the usual term for 

 place, country, world, and frequently takes a euphonic i before the locative -di at, in. 



"7 ama'nantena that place from toward; amd' the demonstrative that, with the locative -nan 

 FROM, meaning this side of that place, i. e., between there and here; the same suffix -te, as in the pre- 

 ceding word; and finally the locative (exactly the reverse of -nan) -na toward, i. e., the snake crawled off 

 toward some spot lietween here and Honey lake. 



"8 o77o'doifsow WENT OFF UP, IT IS SAID; ono- TO TRAVEL, TO GO; -doi the directive upward (north is 

 apparently always UP to these Maidu). 



'» amo'nikan and then. 



i-o su well! (an exclamation). 



1-' ono'si I am going (from the stem ono- to go, to travel). Here the suffix of the first person 

 singular is suffixed directly to verbal stem, without the -ka which is generally used (see § 19, no. 30). 



122 neno'm old man. Here apparently refers to one or other of the parents; from context later, this seems 

 to be FATHER. See note 2. 



i'^ettii' STOP A moment! wait! 



121 min FOR YOU. The objective form of the independent second personal pronoun. 



125 basd'ko a cane, staff. This appears to be from a stem 60s-, which seems to mean wide spreading, 

 spreading apart, from which, with the suffix -ko, we have that which has the quality of possess- 

 ing WIDE spread, i. e., a staff, with which one spreads out one's support. Here objective. 



^^ yd'tisi I am making. The stem yd- means to create, to make {lio'doyapem the Earth-Maker, 

 Creator), and, with the causative -<i, seems to mean about the same, to prepare, to make. Here, 

 again, we have the suffix of the first personal pronoim singular, without the usual suffix preceding, ka. 



127 a'nkanihkan and then. 



128 p'lwV roots (ol)jective). 

 i» kan and.
