falling accent {sgo'^H'sgad-, sgl'^^fsgab-) . In the aorist the stress gen- 

 erally falls on the repeated vowel. 



Only two verbs have been found that at first sight conform to 

 Type 13 I. They are: 



Verb-stem Aorist stem 



de^-l-ge'-ukWwin I shall tie (a <?eM-gewe'k!iwi^7i I tied it bow- 

 salmon) bowstring-fashion string-fashion (cf. 88.5) 

 du'ltlilm I shall stuff them into it diilu'tUH^Ti I stuffed them into 



it (122.19; 138.17) 



This curious tj'pe of verb is easily explained if we assume that 

 the bases are not gew- and diih, respectively, but geu^- and duV-. 

 They are, then, strictly comparable to verbs like sgotlosgdd- dis- 

 cussed above; instead of having a fortis consonant, i. e., a stop with 

 glottal closure, as the final consonant of the base, they have a semi- 

 vowel or diphthong-forming consonant (w, y, I, m, n) as the base final. 

 The verb and aorist stems of geu^- and dul^-, formed according to Type 

 13 a, are theoretically *gew^gau^-, ^gewe^gau^- and *dul^daP-,*dulu^dal^-, 

 respectively. Allowing, as in the case of the forms like Va'plaTcab- 

 discussed above, for catch dissimilation, these forms are seen to be 

 phonetically equivalent to geukJcm-, geweklau- and dultlal-, dulut'al-, 

 respectively (see § 12). If the initial consonant of the verb happens 

 not to be a media, then there is no opportunity for the development 

 of a fortis in the second syllable of the verb-stem. It is clear, then, 

 that the following verbs are further examples of Type 13 6: 



Verlj-stem Aorist stem 



&a"-^aZ-mo'Pmala7i I shall turn &a°-^aZ-mo'lo^mala^7i I turn 



things over things over 



dd^-fmu^gal-Wu^\iwin I shall (Za'^-^'?n'iZ"^aZ-lewe'^]iwi^ri I shook 



shake shells in my ears shells in my ears 122.2 



lia-u- given- ju'n^jinin I shall ha-u-gwen-juniV^yini^n I gob- 

 gobble them down bled them down (cf . yutluyad- 



above) 

 The stem syllable of verbs of Type 13 h, when bearing the stress, 

 naturally have the falling accent. 



Examples of Type 13 c are not common and have also by-forms of 

 Type 13 a: 



Verb-stem Aorist stem 



gwida'k'Man I shall throw it gwidi'k'^da^nl threwit(122.13); 

 (a inorganic) cf. f-gwidigwidi'^n (108.21) 



lobo'lp'na^n I used to pound 

 them; cf. lobo'lap'wa^Ti (57.14)
