As illustrated by ¥aiwi'% the primary meaning of -wi^ is not so 

 much EVERY as that it refers the preceding noun or adverb to a 

 series. It thus conveys the idea of some in: 



dal^wV^ sometimes, in regard to some 57.12 

 xa^newV^ sometimes 132,25 



With pronouns it means too, as well as others: 



gV-wi'^ I too 

 maP-vfi'^ you too 58.5 



Like -dll, -wi^ may be explained as a stereotyped adjectival stem 



that has developed into a quasi-formal element. This seems to be 



indicated by the derivative wiH^n every, different 49.1; 160.20; 



188.12. 



§ 102. DEICTIC -£a\ 



It is quite likely that the deictic -%^ is etymologic ally identical 

 with the demonstrative stem a- this, though no other case has been 

 found in which this stem follows the main noun or other word it 

 qualifies. It differs from the exclusive -fa in being less distinctly a 

 part of the whole word and in having a considerably stronger con- 

 trastive force. Unlike -t'a, it may be suffixed to adverbs as well as 

 to words of a more strictly denominative character. Examples of 

 its occurrence are extremely numerous, but only a very few of these 

 need be given to illustrate its deictic character: 



ma'a,^ you ([I am ,] but you ) 26.3; 56.5; (of. 49.8, 13) 



maha'i^a^ big indeed 



gra^a^ ge will'^ that one's house is there (literally, that-one there 



his-house [ that house yonder belongs to that fellow Coyote, not 



to Panther, whom we are seeking]) 55.4; cf. 196.19 

 &o"^a^ but nowadays (so it was in former days, but now things 



have changed) 50.1; 194.5

know more) 49.13; 154.7
