4. -d-f -f- seems to be found only with transitive verbs: 



wd'^Mmida'^n I speak to him (but with unexpressed object 



wa/^liimi' xade^ I was talking [to somebody]) (59.16; 6.3.10) 

 dak'-Jiene^da'^n I wait for him (of. Jiene'xade^ I wait) 

 Icluyumida'^n I call his name from distance, greet him (198.11) 



(probably derivative of Jdu^yam friend! 31.6, 8) 

 S'omoda'^n I cook it (58.10) (cf. s-umvfxade^ I cook) 

 ts'IumumVa^n I cook it (170.17,19); future s'UmVan^ (170.16) 



(cf. s'umxV stirring paddle 170.14) 

 daP'-miniY da^n I taught him; future dd^-minVan 

 lawadana'^n I hurt him (186.12) 

 yamada'^n 1 d.sk him (70.6; 74.10; 120.16) 

 wiyimada'^n I "wish" to him, work supernatural power on him 



(57.1) 

 mUV'da'^n I love her 

 xa^-l-ts' liwW he split it (26.6) (cf. l-is' Hwl'Hs- !au he split it up) 



It will be noticed that most of the verbs listed imply, not direct 

 physical action, but rather the direction of one's thought or 

 words toward another person. It is therefore highly probable 

 that the -d- (except possibly in s-omd- cook) is identical with 

 the -d- implied in the-S'- (= -tx-) of the indirect object (§ 47). 

 Unlike the -d- here discussed, however, the -s*- of the indirect 

 object can be used only if the indirect object is not of the 

 third person. It is clear that -d- is not really quite in line 

 with the other suffixes that we have termed "petrified," 

 this being shown, among other things, by the fact that it 

 may be preceded by other suffixes, as in dd°--mini-Tc'-da^n. 



Evidently quite distinct from this indirective -d- suffix is the 

 -{a)d- suffix of a few intransitive class II verbs in which the 

 -d- is followed by -I*- in aorist, -i- in non-aorist forms (see § 40, 

 16). This aoristic -ad- appears always umlauted to -id-. 



cugwidl^-, non-aorist cu¥di- lie curled up 

 wiJcHdP-, non-aorist wl^lc'di- lie heaped about 

 t'gupHdl (box, canoe) lies bottom side up 



5. -f/-. This consonant has been found as an evident suffix in: 



hd^-di'mV.ana^n I strung (dentalia) on line (59.9) (cf. dink\- 



stretch out) 

 fgemetlia'^^ it gets dark 188.14 (cf. fge^mt'ga^mx it is quite dark 



[cf. 19Q.7];alfge'mh\&ck 162.4; [196.6]) 



^ s'om-d- and s'uiim-t'a- are parallel farms of one verb that seem to be used with no difference in mean- 

 ing, though their aorist stems are formed according to different types.
