Scheme II is followed by the large class of nouns that have a pre- 

 pronominal -x-, besides a considerable number of nouns that add the 

 endings directly to the stem. Noun-characteristics may not take the 

 endings of Scheme II unless followed by a -x- (thus -a^nt'lc' and 

 -anxde^Jc'; -iY¥ and -ixde^h'). Examples of Scheme II nouns with- 

 out preceding -x- are : 



a-is'de'Y my property (though -S'- may be secondarily derived 



from -s-x- or -tx-) 23.2, 3; 154.18, 19, 20; 158.4 

 mo'feY my son-in-law (152.9) (incorporated mot'-) 

 se'Ht'eV my writing, paint (absolute se'^'T) 

 Jie'HfeF my song (164.16; 182.6) (absolute Jie'H 106.7) 

 ts-n''FdeF my meat (44.3, 6; 170.6) 

 wila'ufe¥ lay SiTTOw (4:5.13; 154.18) (absolute wiZaV 22.5; 28.1,2; 



77.5) 

 ga'lfeF my bow (154.19; 190.22) (absolute ga'l') 

 la'])sdek' my blanket (absolute la'ps 98.14, 15, 19, 21) 

 ts-!ixi-maha'iVeV my horse (absolute ts- !%' xi-mahaH) 



Scheme III is followed by all nouns that have a characteristic 

 immediately, preceding the personal suffix or, in nearly all cases, 

 whose stem, or stem + derivative suffix, ends in -a- (e. g., tlelaH'V 

 MY SHINNY-STICK [from tlelo']), -%-, -ei- (e. g., ts-IelelfV my eye 

 [from ts-.'elei-]), -n (e. g., senf¥ my skin), -m, or -l^ (e. g., di^^aW¥ 



1 In most, if not all, cases the -n, -m, or -I is a non-radical element. It is not quite clear in how far stems 

 ending in these vowels and consonants follow Scheme U or Scheme III.
