The idea of unbroken continuity is fairly evidently shown by 

 these examples to be connected with the suffix -(a)Z-. 



10. -(a) 71-. Quite a number of intransitives are found that have 



this element, to which no particular meaning can be assigned. 



Such are : 

 s-as-iM^e^ I stand (34.1; 77.9; 144.14,17) 

 moyugw2bnt'e^ I'm spoiled 

 liuHVnVe^ I am tired (102.1) (cf, hulu'hilinfe^ I used to be tired 



[48.11]) 

 liginfe^ I am resting (100.14) (cf. ligilaga^nf he kept resting 102.1) 



In a large number of transitives a suffixed -n- is also found, with- 

 out its being clearly possible to identify it either with the causa- - 

 tive -n- or the indirect objective -n(an)- for: 



lawadsina'^n I hurt him (186.12) 



ts'libma'^n I make a speech to him (146.11; 178,11) 



wa-aillVni^n I gave each one (130.4) 



Ic.'emna'n I shall make it (28.2,13,14) (aorist without object 

 Jdeme'nxa^ he makes) 



wa^-u^gwrni'^n I drink it with it {u^gwa'nxde^ I drink) 



Tie^^^wa^-waP'gmi'n she is bought with it 

 The last two examples are rather different in character from the 

 others. See § 64. 



11, ~w-. Two apparently quite distinct -w-suffixes must be taken 



account of. 

 (1) A suffixed -u>- is found to characterize in all forms a group of 

 intransitives belonging to Type 2 ; it is only in certain deriv- 

 ative forms that the -w- is lacking, and thereby possibly shown 

 to be a non-radical element : 

 liiwiliufe^ 1 ran to (24,1), but liiwiMfe^ I used to run to 

 sgelenfe^ I shouted (196.1), but sgelelfe^ ^ I kept shouting (59.3) 

 Examples of this group of verbs are : 



Aorist Future (non-aorist) 



sgeW''^ he shouted 59.4; 90.8 sgelwa'H' he will shout 



Zi-iwiZi'"' he ran to 47.1; 70.7 Mwihxa'H' he will run to 



(136,21) 



&iZi'"« he jumped 48.9; 58.3 Uhva'H' he will jump (160.16) 



de-wiliwa/lda^n I fight him (de- de-wilwa'ldan I shall fight him 



rivativeofintransitive)(27.3) (33.2,3) 



MW"^ he climbed (77.8) Jiilwa'H' he will climb 



1 still, in these frequentative (usitative) forms the absence of the -w- may be accounted for by supposing 

 that it dropped ofl as a syllabic final after a consonant (see § 18). Then sgeleU'e^ is for anoldeT*sgelelwt'e'. 

 This supposition is greatly strengthened by the futiu-e sgelwa'U'e' I'll keep shouting (cf. sgelwada'^ tou 



WILL SHOUT).
