A number of purely local adverbs occur with the modal suffix, 

 implying the modal character of a local idea. 



qa' Xante upwards (literally, in the manner of up) 14.1 



qalnotc outside 20.4 



qdtc downwards 6.4 



yi'qantc backwards 



Is'xatc inside 62.8 



e'hentc far oJff (compare e'he he was gone 108.9) 26.23 



qa'tito down stream 54.1 



tEqai'tc up stream 160.15 



The temporal phrase xteml' towetc from that time on 42.12 may also 

 belong here, although the original stem is no longer recognizable. 



Whenever these modalized local adverbs are used in connection with 

 verbs expressing motion or active ideas, they take the verbal suffix -e 

 (see § 55).
