 Table of Types of Stem-Formation 



[BULL. 40 



Not all forms find an exact parallel in one of the sixteen types 

 here listed. There is a considerable number of more or less isolated 

 cases left, particularly of frequentative or usitative forms, that it is 

 difficult to classify ; but on closer examination some at least of these 

 are seen to be secondary developments. Verb-stem al-sgalwaliw)- 



KEEP LOOKING BY TURNING HEAD SLIGHTLY TO SIDE, aS Compared to 



aorist stem al-sgaldH(aw)-, looks anomalous because of its apparently 

 inserted first -w-; but these two forms become explicable as frequen- 

 tative developments, according to Type 8, of their corresponding 

 simplexes, verb-stem al-sgalw- look by turning head to side and 

 aorist stem al-sgalaw-. It will be convenient to dispose of such 

 anomalous and difficult cases under such headings as allow them to 

 appear as at least comparatively regular formations. It should not 

 be supposed that a particular verb-stem always and necessarily 

 involves a fixed aorist stem in all possible derivations of the verb, 

 though in probably the larger number of cases such a fixed parallel- 

 ism may be traced. As examples of the occurrence of more than one 

 aorist stem to match a verb-stem may be mentioned :
