§ 115. VII. Interjections 



Of interjections and other words of an emotional character there 

 are quite a number in Takelma. Some of them, while in no sense 

 of definite grammatical form, are based on noun or verb stems. Not 

 a few involve sounds otherwise foreign to the language (e. g., nasal- 

 ized vowels [expressed by "], a as in English bat, a as in saw, dj as 

 in JUDGE, voiceless palatal I [written l'\, final fortis consonant); pro- 

 longation of vowels and consonants (expressed by + ) and repetition 

 of elements are frequently used.
