NOUNS OF AGENCY (§§ 79-82) 

 § 79. Introductory 



Four suffixes have been found that are employed to form nouns 

 of agency from verb-stems, -^s, -sd^, -sl\ and -xi. The first of these 

 is more strictly verbal in character than the other three, being capable, 

 unlike these, of incorporating the pronominal object. -saP- and -sP', 

 probably genetically related suffijces, are used apparently only with 

 intransitive stems (including, however, such as are partly transitive 

 in form, i. e., that belong to Class IV). -^s and -xi are used with both 

 transitive and intransitive stems. 



§ 80. Nouns of Agency in -{a'Ys 



This suffix is used to form agentives with more freedom than the 

 others seem to be. The ending -^s is added directly to the verb-stem, 

 with connective -a'- (instrumental -i-) if phonetically necessary. No 

 examples have been found of agentives in -^s from intransitives of 

 Class II. Examples are (49.4; 60.10) : 



Jioida'^s dancer hdpxi-t'd'^ga'^s child-crier ( = 



cry-baby) 

 TieHa'^s singer xut'ma'^s whistler 



p!d°'ga'^s bather Yaiwi'^ wa^-i-doxi^s one who 



gathers everything 

 ya^cZa'^s swimmer xuma-k!emna'-s food -maker 



( = cook) 54.4 

 tsloruya'^s fast runner 138.2 domxWs one who kills you 



ei-sd°-gwa'^s canoe paddler mala'ximi^s one who tells us 



The last two examples show incorporated pronominal objects; the 

 first personal plural object -am- is, as usual, followed by the connec-
