7. "imihH, A few adjectives have been found ending in this suffix 



formed from temporal adverbs: 



ThO'p!e^n\VLVik.\i (men) of long ago 168.1 (hople^n long ago 58.4, 7, 11) 

 &o"4'mik!i (people) of nowadays (6o" now 188.8; 194.5) 



8. -(i)k!i. This suffix, evidently closely related to the preceding 



one, forms adjectives (with the signification of belonging to, 

 ALWAYS being) from local phrases. Examples are: 



ha-wiWy ik\i belonging to good folks, not "common" (hom.lia-will 



in the house) 

 xd'^-bemikli^ being between sticks 

 Jia-bami' sikli^ dwelling in air 



xd"^-da'nik\i belonging between rocks (e. g., crawfish) 

 dak'-p!i'yak\i^ staying always over the fire 

 ha-p!i'yak\i^ belonging to fire 



9. -^xi, A few adjectival forms in -^xi, formed from local phrases, 



seem to have a force entirely coincident with adjectives in-(i)^\'i; 



Tia-p!i'ya^xi belonging to fire 



Jia-xi'ya^xi mink (literally, always staying in the water [from 

 lia-xiya' in the water 33.4]) 



10. -H'^xi. This suffix seems to be used interchangeably with 



-{i)Tc!i and -^xi. Examples are: 



Jia-bami'sa^i'^xi^ belonging to the air, sky 

 xd°^-da'ni^i''xi^ belonging between rocks 

 7ia-V)iliH'^xi belonging to the house 

 7ia-xi'ya^'^xi belonging to the water 

 7ia-p!iya^i'^xi belonging to fire 



The following forms in -H'^xi, not derived from local phrases, doubt- 

 less belong with these: 



geH'^xi belonging there 160.24 



goyo^i'^xi belonging to shamans (used to mean : capable of wish- 

 ing ill, supernaturally doing harm, to shamans) 170.11
