dlH is very often abbreviated to I. 

 k.'weni'yaH 'Qwilo'^'wat for some food I am looking 



(See also under Idl, hdl, p. 402.) 



By suffixing the interrogative suffix -u (see § 73) to di^l and vnt^ 

 two interrogative pronouns are obtained that may be rendered 

 by WHAT and who respectively (see also p. 390). 



dl^'lu he tE e^wilo'^'ioat what are you continually looking for? 54.3 

 xioi'tu tsl^x'tl'yat who did it? 



wtctce' takes the place of our interrogative pronoun. It always 

 stands at the beginning of the sentence, and may be rendered 



by WHICH ONE. 



wictcef ^dowd'ya which one do you want? 50.16 



%tc WHICH occurs very rarely. It may be said to exercise the func- 

 tion of our relative pronoun. 



Uc yu he'mis whichever is the biggest (literally, which [is] very 



big) 30.21 

 Uc he nq/e'^Use whichever had a handkerchief 70.19 



t'filEX ALONE. This particle exercises the function of the reflexive 

 pronoun in intransitive sentences. It is usually placed at the 

 beginning of the sentence, and precedes the verb. It is then 

 rendered by myself, thyself, etc. (see also p. 400). 



sd'nlEx la^ L^dn alone they went down into the water 36.18 

 VnlEx T^c^^a'lctet alone I work, I myself work' 

 inlEx Lowa'kats alone he lived 106.24 



This particle occurs sometimes as inlExa'ma or inlExa'na. These 

 forms frequently precede verbs having reciprocal suffixes. 



iniExa'nd la^ hu^misisd' nl they marry one another 12.5 

 inlExa'ma {ix yd'lanl they two speak to each other 

 inlExa'nd lin to'^sisd'm we are hitting one another 



When used in connection with possessive pronouns, i'nlEx assumes 

 the function of a reflexive possessive pronoun, and may be 

 rendered by my (thy) own.

 od'nlExa'ma t^ha^Hs i^vxd'wEx I build my own house
