ARE CARRIED (BY BRANCHES) and THAT WHICH IS DUG UP^ (cf. aorist 



stems Za"6- carry and d"6- dig up). 



2. A very considerable number of noun-stems repeat the vowel of 



the base, corresponding to aorist stems of Type 2 verbs. Such are: 

 wi7i house 13.1; 14.8; 192.6 gwit!i-(n)- wrist 



ts-.'i'xidog fc'a&a- son 23.2; 128.5; 138.14 



moxo^ buzzard 105.23 xagra- maternal aunt 



S(/i'si coyote 13.1; 70.1; 108.1 xZi'wi war-feathers 110.18 

 sgwini^ raccoon ^(;a^aMinife73.3; 144.20; 172.12 



Z:/a'ma spit for roasting 170.17 (7o?/o^shaman47.11;142.7;188.7 

 ^a^^.'a^ person 14.12; 96.2; 128.2 wo"p.'u-(n)- eyebrows 

 i/aTia^ acorn 15.16; 16.9; 58.9 



With probably derivative final consonant are : 



lege^m- kidney d&ga^i turtle 



l&p'sim frog 102.10; 196.3 ts-!aiXSi'^n blue-striped lizard 



yulu^m eagle 77.2; 122.15;164.8 wigln red lizard 



^uZu'm oak 22.10 li'hin news 108.20; 194.9 > 



fc'uZum fish (sp.?) i/i' win speech 126.10; 136.12 



loxo^m manzanita 126.17; 178.5 ts-Iamal mouse 102.10; 104.9; 



142.4 



yvdln'n white duck 55.5 s-imi7 dew 



2?/i'?/iw deer 17.1; 42.2; 54.2 (^.'gZ)we7ieZ-'l'*' basket for cook- 

 g&'Jdun ladder 176.8 ing 178.4 



Here again it will be observed that the rising or raised accent is 



the normal one for the second syllable of the stem. But here also a 



well-defined, if less numerous, group of noun-stems is found in which 



the repeated long vowel bears a falling accent. Examples are : 



fgwaW'' hooting owl 194.9 t!ihis-i'' ant 74.4; 75.5 



M"s'u'" chicken-hawk 142.6 c^a-w^a'^ shaman's spirit (? from 



dawy- fly) 164.14 

 s-iiM'" quail 70.2,5; 71.4 maya'^-^'"'- orphan 154.5 



Compare also t.'ono'^'s' below (Type 3); ts'lill'^'k!- and fbele'^s (Type 

 3) owe their falling accent to the presence of a glottal catch. 



Very remarkable is the stem formation of the noun tluxu'i drift- 

 wood 75.5. It is evidently formed from the verb-stem do'^x- (aorist 

 stem tloxox-) gather (wood) according to aorists of Type 7b, at the 

 same time with vowel ablaut (cf. theoretic t!uxu-xi he gathers me) 

 and filing accent, perhaps to give passive signification (see § 86, 1); 

 its etymologic meaning would then be that which is gathered. 

 No other noun of similar stem formation has been found. 



1 If this etymology of o'«p' is correct, Pit River op' tobacco must be borrowed from Takelma.
