BOAS] HANDBOOK OF INDIAN LANGUAGES TAKELMA 223 



Da'^-gelmsJ^n person from Da^-gela^m, Rogue river ( = Takelma 



Indian) 

 Di-dalainsb'^n person from Didalam, Grant's Pass 



Judging from the material at hand, it seems that -a'^n is used only 

 when the place-name ends in -m, though the ease with which -a'^n 

 may be heard as -a'^ (see first footnote § 60) detracts from the cer- 

 tainty of this generalization. 



5. -gw-. This element occurs as a suliix in a number of terms 

 relating to parts of the body. Examples are : 



tliha^k.'^ pancreas 47.17; t!ihagw-a'n-f¥ my pancreas (47.5, 6, 7, 



13) (incorporated t!iha- 46.1, 9) 

 Wugw-ax-dek'^ my face (cf . verb-stem Uu- look) • 

 da^madagw-a^n-f¥ my shoulder 

 da-uijd'°'^'^-deY my medicine-spirit (incorporated da-uyd^- 



164.14) 

 le'Yw-an-fV my rectum (cf. la'^ excrement 122.2) 

 ma'p!agw-a-f¥ my shoulder-blade 



6. -{a)n- (or 'tti-f -1-). There are so many nouns which in their 

 absolute form end in -{a)n or its phonetic derivatives -{a)m- and -(a) l- 

 (see § 21) that there is absolutely no doubt of its sufiixal character, 

 despite the impossibility of ascribing to it any definite functional value 

 and the small number of cases in which the stem occurs w^ithout it. 

 The examples that most clearly indicate its non-radical character will 

 be conveniently listed here : 



^e^Za^m board 176.5 (cf. (Zi*'-^e'Zi?/a sleeping on board platform 13.2) 



ts'leWm. hail 152.12, 16 (cf. verb-stem ts-!el- rattle)

 in § 21. The difference between this derivational -n (-m) and
