BOAS] HANDBOOK OF INDIAN LANGUAGES TAKELMA 243 



A few cases of compound pre-positives occur: 



Jia-gwel-pliya'^ under the ashes (literally, in-under-the-fire) 



118.4 

 Tia-gwel-xiya'^ at bottom of the water 60.12, 14 

 ha-gwel-fge'^mfgam down in dark places 196.7 



An example of a pre-positive with a noun ending in pre-pronominal 

 -X is afforded by ha-dd^nx molMH' in-ear red 14.4; 15.13; 88,2 

 (alongside of dd"-molhiY red-eared 15.12; 86.6). It is somewhat 

 doubtful, because of a paucity of illustrative material, whether local 

 phrases with final pre-pronominal -x can be freely used. 



§ 96. POSTPOSITIONS 



Not all pre-positives can be suffixed to the demonstrative ga- to 

 form postpositions; e. g., no *gaha'', *gaha^n, ^gagwe'l are found in 

 Takelma. Very few other words (adverbs) are found in which what 

 are normally pre-positives occupy the second place: me'^al toward 

 THIS DIRECTION 58.9; ye'Vddl in the brush 71.3. Instead of -ha in, 

 -naV is used, an element that seems restricted to the postposition 

 gana^u in. The gra-postpositions that have been found are: 



gada'F on 48.15; 49.1 



gidl^ (= ga-d¥) on, over 49.12 



gidl'^ {=ga-dl'^) in back 



^anaV in 47.2; 61.13; 64.4; 110.9 



gada^l among 94.12 



ga'a'l to, for, at, from 43.6; 44.4; 55.6; 58.11 



gadd"- by, along 60.1 



gaxd°' between 



gede in front (?) 28.8, 9 



and possibly : 



gasal in adverb gasa'lhi quickly 28.10; 29.14; 160.1 



Examples of their use are : 



vn'U gada'V on top of the house 14.9; 15.5 



da'n gcbda'V on the rock 



Vgd"' gidl upon the land 49.12 



p!l^ gada'l in between the fire 94.12
