§ 34. THIRD PERSON ANEMATE 



The third person animate, singular and plural, has two forms. The 

 first of these forms is -tci for the singular, -wdtci for the plural; the 

 second is -nitci for both singular and plural. The latter form is used 

 in two cases. One is syntactic, and occurs when the dependent verb 

 is subordinate to a principal verb. The other is psychological, and 

 occurs when the subject of the dependent verb plays a less important 

 role than the subject of another verb; it is a frequent construction in 

 narration. The subjective noun of the dependent verb takes on an 

 objective ending -WAni for the singular, and -wai or lia'^ for the plural.

The sam3 thing happens to a transitive verb in the same relation. 

 The change takes place with the form representing the subject, but 

 the form representing the object remains unchanged. The change 

 occurs when the subject of a dependent verb becomes the object of 

 a principal verb. The subjective noun of the dependent verb has 

 the objective ending -Ani in the singular, and -ai in the plural. In 

 the following examples, the first two show the construction with an 

 intransitive dependent verb, and the next two show the construction 

 with a transitive verb.
