2. Type 4 of JReduplication. This method of forming the fre- 

 quentative seems to be but a variant of the first (the repeated initial 

 consonant coming last instead of immediately after the connecting 

 vowel, or the initial consonant not being repeated at all if there is a 

 petrified suffix), and is found in only a few verbs, where it takes 

 the place of the first method. A glottal catch generally separates 

 the repeated vowel of the stem from the immediately following a. 

 Examples are: 



Aorist stem 



lc!eine\ . [make 



V.omom- kill 



Repetitive 



Icleme'^amga^n I always make 

 it (instead of ^Ideme^- 

 Tclama^n) (77.5) ; Tc!em^a^m¥ 

 ( = -^amg-¥ he used to make 

 it (inferential) 122.18 



tlomo'amda^n I used to kill 

 them (instead of Hlomo'- 

 tlama'n) (13.10; 54.3) 



Tcluwu'^auga^n I used to throw 

 them away (instead of *lc!u- 

 wu'Tclawa'n) (131.6) 



'pluwu'^a-uga^n I keep calling 

 his name (100. 21) (instead of 

 *p!uwu'p!au]c!a^n; cf. p!u'- 

 wuplaus'i he keeps calling 

 me by name) 



de-ts'!inl'anx he always died 

 (instead of ^ts'!in%'ts'!anx) 

 74.7 



leme'amV he used to take 

 (everything) (instead of 

 Heme'laTYik') 



If the initial consonant is a fortis, it becomes a media when 

 repeated, as illustrated in the first three examples. This may be 

 explained by catch dissimilation (see §22) — e. g., a theoretical 

 *lc!uwu^^au^¥ (from ^lc!uwu'Tc!au) is dissimilated to Tc!uwu'^au¥ . 

 Similarly a theoretical * p!u'wu'^au^¥ (from * p!uwu'p!au^¥) is dis- 

 similated to p!uwu'^au¥ . The non-aorist frequentative forms of 

 these verbs sometimes follow the first method of formation (cf. 

 dd^mda^m¥ under method 1), sometimes the second (aslclem^mg-). 



3. c + v-{-Ci + 'V-{-c. The few verbs that belong here differ from 

 the preceding in that they repeat only the initial consonant after 

 the repeated stem-vowel (Type 11). An example is: 



§ 43 



Icluwuw- throw away (pi. obj.) 



p!uwu-Jc!- call, name 



de-ts' !ini^-x- ( = ts' !ini-Tc!-x-) die 



leme-Jc !- take along (cf. 108.10)
