§ t?^. Pronouns of Vet'bs takhig s in the Second Per^son: 



Second Class 



Verbs corresponding to the Dakota verbs in y- and to the Ponca 

 verbs in (zf-, and those corresponding- to the Ponca verbs in (6, d, and 

 g, are treated alike, thus suggesting- a later differentiation of the 

 second and third classes in Ponca. Verbs of this class begin in the 

 third person with a vowel ?/;, r, or with /, t or g. If we indicate 

 the first vowel of the word bj^^ v, the pronominal forms maj^ be rep- 

 resented as follows: 



The plurals are formed as in the verbs belonging to the first 

 class — by the suffix -wi in the first and second persons, by -m^ in the 

 third person. The first person plural, instead of being formed from 

 the inclusive, as in the first class, is formed from the first person 

 singular by suflixing -uu. The repetition of the vowel in the 

 second person which is characteristic of the first three types of this 

 class in Winnebago has been referred to before.
