3. -di, A few adjectives have been found with this suffixed element: 



TiopsdiMittle 192.6; Mydi 24.12; 60.15; 61.5 (cf. M«pa;i' child 



128.16) 

 ya'pla daM\^ wild man (cf. dal- in the brush) 22.14 

 ^ama'a;diraw 94.3, 6; 144.5; 182.4 

 ^WJeWi' finished {ci.gwel-\eg) 34.1; 79.8; 94.18 



4. -ts!- i-^s). In a small number of adjectives this element is doubt- 



less to be considered a suffix : 

 ntslaF'' bad, ugly 182.1; 186.22; 198.4 (cf. pi. %1'a'haV^) 

 s'in-p'i'l^s flat-nosed 

 xa^-xdi'Vs slim-waisted 71.15; 75.6 (cf. inferential passive xd-i- 



xdi'lxdalVam they have been notched in several places) 



A few adjectives in -s, evidently morphologically connected with 

 the scattering nouns in -s, also occur: 



gUms blind 26.14 



balslong 14.5; 33.16; 158.1 



s'uns' thick 90.3 



5. '{a)x. This suffix disappears in the plural (see below, § 109), 



so that no room is left for doubt as to its non-radical character. 

 Whether it is to be identified with the non-agentive -x of the 

 verb is somewhat uncertam, but that such is the case is by no 

 means improbable; in some cases, indeed, the adjective in -x 

 is connected with a verb in -x. The -a^j>x of some of the 

 examples is without doubt composed of the petrified -&- found 

 in a number of verbs (see § 42, 1) and the adjectival (or non- 

 agentive) -X. 



al-t'geysi^px round (cf . al-fgeye^px it rolls) 



sal-ts' lunsb'ipx straight 



da-ts- !amx sick 90.12, 13, 21; 92.5; 150.16 



al-t'mila^i^x smooth 



da-p'o'a^x crooked (cf. p'owo'^x it bends) 



l-ge'wa^yi crooked-handed 



More transparently derivational in character than any of those 

 listed above are the foUowing adjectival suffixes: 



6. -gwaf HAVING. Adjectival forms in -gwaY are derived partly 



by the addition of the adjectival suffix -(a)f to third personal 

 reflexive possessive forms in -fgwa i-xagwa), or to palatalized 

 passive participial forms in -^F'', themselves derived from 

 nouns (see § 77), partly by the addition of -gwaY to nouns in 

 § 108
