MICHELSON. ] LINGUISTIC NOTES. 539 
“mortal, people’ has been stripped of its termination and combined 
with the instrumental particle -m-, which requires an animate object, 
and with the stem wi- ‘with,’ which has postverbal -t- -*tci-. See 
a close parallel in the International Journal of American Linguistics, 
vol. 1, page 50, footnote 4, and Bull. 72, B. A. E., p. 68. 
The word keke‘te’si’menana ‘our venerable man” (510.30) is most 
extraordinary in formation; a possessed noun has been made from 
the third person singular animate of a verb ke‘te’siwa he is venerable. 
For the elimination of the terminal element see International Journal 
of American Linguistics, |. ¢. 
At 536.17 nigina‘ka‘sowa seems to force the conclusion that the 
combination -‘sw6- becomes -‘sd-. See the stems nigani- and a‘ka- 
in the list of stems.
