Here may also be mentioned Tda'maldd"' his tongs (also IcIa'.maP). 

 6. Reduplicated nouns are not frequent in Takelma, particularly 

 when one considers the great importance of reduplication as a gram- 

 matical device in the verb. Examples corresponding in form to Type 

 12 aorists (i. e., with -a- [umlauted to -i-] in second member) are: 



ts-!e'¥ts'!ig-i- backbone 112.4; 



198.6 

 gi'xgap' medicine, poison 



(irreg.) 188.12 



gwi'sgwas chipmunk 

 p'dH'p'id-i- salmon-liver (with 

 dissimilated catch) 120.19,20 

 &o"^'&icZ-i- orphans (also &o^'&a) 



fgwi'nfgwin-i- shoulder (also 



fgwi'^nfgw-i-) 

 gelgaU fabulous serpent (cf. 



aorist gelegal-amd- tie hair 



into top-lmot 172.3) 

 sV'nsa'n decrepit old woman 

 yu¥ya'¥w-a (place name) 



188.13 

 fga'lfgil-i- belly 



Also wa-iwh'^ GIRL 55.7 ; 96.23 doubtless belongs here; the -m'*' of the 

 second syllable represents a theoretic -wi'y, umlauted from -wa'y, the 

 falling accent being due to the inorganic character of the repeated a. 

 A very few nouns repeat only the first consonant and add a, leaving 

 the final consonant unreduplicated. Such are: 



ha'Tchd"' red-headed woodpecker (onomatopoetic) 92.2, 6 



Jia'iFd" { = '^haJc!-ha^) goose 102.10; 106.2, 5 



hot'ha"' orphan 122.1, 5 



A few nouns, chiefly jiames of animals, show complete duplication 

 of the radical element without change of the stem-vowel to -a- in the 

 second member. This type of reduplication is practically entirely 

 absent in the verb. Examples are: 

 ts-!e'Hs-!e' small bkd (sp.?) 



dalda'l dragon-fly 21.1; 28.6 

 jp'ahd'^'p' manzanita-flour 



Even all of these are not certain. 



al-k!ok!o^¥ (adj.) ugly-faced 



60.5 

 hoho^p' screech-owl 194.1 

 fga'nfgan fly (upper dialect) 



Those with radical -a- miffht 



just as well have been classified with the preceding group (thus 



iThat -^s- is felt to be equivalent to -ts-J is shown by Bluejay's song: Is-.'a'its-H-d gwa'tca gwatca 104.7. 

 ^bel-\s felt as the base of this word, cf. Swan's soTXgbeleld6+ wa'inha 104.15, which shows reduplication 

 of bel- like aorist helel- of heU sing.
