>« yVmlshi^n. First person singular subject (-^n) second personal singular object {-hi-) of verb yVmiya'^n 

 (see yimi'xi above), -s- indirect object used only in aorist of this verb, elsewhere -x-; e. g., future yimi'xbin 

 I SHALL LEND IT TO you. Aoristisused because idea Of futurityishcre immediate; i.e., time ©faction is not 

 put definitely forward. 



1' gwidi'-s-i^. gwi- general interrogative and indeflnito adverb where? somewhere, di interrogative 

 enclitic serving to give gwi- distinct interrogative signification, -s-j^hashereslightcausal tinge: for where 



WOULD THEY ALL BE, IF THEY RETITRNED? 



w yo'H'. Third personal future of verb yowo't'e^ i am (see yuV above), -^t' third personal subject 

 future intransitive Class I. 



^^ytUk'i^. Third personal conditional (-fc'i^) of verb yewelt'e^ Type 4a i return; aorist stem yewei-, 

 verb-stem ylu- {ye'w-). 



iand'us'i^. =n6't^s' (stem nots!- next door) + connective -s-i^. nd'«^s'may best be considered as local 

 adverbial prefix to yewe'i^. 



M yewe'i^. Third person aorist of verb yewAt'tf (see yiUk'i^ above (-«' and -^ as in loho'i^ and naga'i^ above) 



'» k.'odoH'. Third personal subject, third personal object aorist of verb klododa'^n Type 8 i bury him 

 aorist stem k.'odod-, verb-stem go^d-. 



"^hap'dagwa. See hap'da (1). -gwa reflexive suflix. k.'odoY hap'da would have meant he (Roasting- 

 Dead-People) buried his (Coyote's) child. 



2< loho'ida^. In this case subordinate form serves merely to explain hap'dagwa, and may thus be rendered 

 as relative, who had died. 



»5 ganehi^. =^gane and then (compound of demonstrative ga), used to introduce new turn in narrative, 

 + quotative -hi^. 



3' dabalni'xa. Temporal adverb long time. Like many other adverbs, it is difficult of satisfactory 

 analysis, da- is local body-part prefix, as in several other temporal adverbs; but its application here is 

 quite obscure, bal- radical element, cf. adjective bals long, -xa adverbial (chiefly temporal) sufflx- 

 -ni- — ? (cf. lep'ni'xa winter). 



"laaW, Third person aorist intransitive Class II of verb laflRt'e^ T3rpes 10a and 15a i become; aorist 

 stem MoZe-, verb-stem lafl-p'-. -e- = H- of positional verbs. Corresponding inferential lap'k'.

 tative -M^. 



" toho'i^. See loho'ida^ (2). 



so gini'^k'. Third person aorist of verb gini'k'de^ Type 2 i go (somewhere); aorist stem gtnig-, verb-stem 

 ging-, ginag- (present imperative gink' ; future gina'k'de «). -^ third person aorist intransitive Class I. Inas- 

 much as forms occur derived from base gin- (e. g., reduplicated giniginia'v.^), -g- must be considered as either 

 petrified suffix, or as trace of older reduplication with vanished vowel in second member: gin-i-g- from 

 (?) giriri-gn-. ginig- can be used only with expressed goal of motion (in this case no'u^s- and wd'ada). he 

 WENT without expressed goal would have been ya'^. Similarly: baxam- come, me--ginig- come here; 

 bogw- RUN, Mwiliw- run (somewhere); sowo'v-^k'ap'- JtTMP, biliw- jump at. 



•1 wa'ada. Formed, like no'ts.'at'gwan (1), by addition of third personal pronominal suffix -'da to local 

 stem wa-; first person wad?. These forms are regularly used when motion to some person or persons is 

 meant: if goal of motion Is non-personal, postposition ga^aH to, at is employed. 



»s k'adi', k'a (before di, otherwise k'ai) is substantival indefinite and interrogative stem (thing), what, 

 corresponding to adverbial gwi- (4). di serves also here to give k'a distinct interrogative force. 



»3 nagaW. Second person singular aorist of verb nagalt'^ (see naga'-ihi^ above). This is one of those 

 few Intransitives that take personal endings directly after stem ending in semi-vowel (naguy-), without 

 connective -a- (see § 65 end). 



" Aouia«a\ =fto«io^ yesterday, (here more indeflinitely as) last time, formerly + deictic -^a: -xa is 

 adverbial (temporal) suffix (cf. dabalni'xa above), -^a' serves to contrast last time with now. 



» ma^a. = ma second person singular independent personal pronoun + deictic -^ a\ which here contrasts 

 Tou (as former object of supplication) with i (as present object of supplication).
