the pause can be long enough to indicate the idea of reclin- 

 ing, LYING DOWN. 



sd'gicVnw'^ he lies exposed (sdgi- [§ 16]) 



dta'wdci^nw^ he lies on his back 



Mcu'wicVmv'^ he lies warm 



dcegicinitc'^ when he lay 116.9 



dTiApelcwdliidaio'wdtd' so they lay with a pillow under their heads 



322.20 

 dcegicmowdtc as they lay there together 324.8 

 dcegicinig where he lay 326.1 



The cessation may be only momentary, like the instant respite of 

 the foot on the ground during the act of walking. The term is 

 translated into step, walk, in the following examples : 



'pe'miwd'wdcVnw"^ it is the sound of his footstep as he passes by 



(pemi- [§ 16]) 

 pydtwd'wdci'nw"^ it is the sound of his walk coming home (injd 



[I 16];-^[§8])_ 

 Anemwd'wdci^nw^ it is the sound of his step going away 



Again, the rest may be sudden, and indefinite as to duration. 

 The meaning in this light comes out in words expressive of 

 descent, as fall, drop. 



pA^gici'nw'^ (the bird) lights (see jjAg- [§ 14]) 



a'pydtcipAgicmitc^ then the bird came and alighted 98.3 (pydtci- 



see pyd- [§ 16]; -nitc' [§ 34]) 

 pl'tdcVnw'' he dropped inside (pit- [§ 16]) 

 co'slcwici^nw^ he slips and falls (cOslc- [§ 16]) 



-sen- is inanimate, and corresponds to -ci7i-. It is of wide use, 

 too. It can be applied in the examples illustrating sonie of 

 the uses of -cin-. To indicate rest in place -sen- is used in 

 the following examples: 



sd'gise^nw^ it lies exposed (sdgi- [§ 16]) 

 dta'wdse^nw^ it lies wrong side up 

 Mcu'wise^nw^ it lies in a state of warmth 



It likewise expresses the notion of instant change coming from 

 rapid contact between two bodies. As in the illustrations for 

 -cin-, so in the following, the idea for sound is represented by 

 the reduplicated form of wd. The idea of contact and the 

 idea of interval between one contact and another are expressed 

 by -sen-.
