Term of relationship, by mar- xayu'sL ' 

 riage, after the death of the 

 person that caused this kin- 

 ship 



In addition to these terms of kinship, I have obtained a few other 

 stems, whose exact rendering did not seem to be very clear in the 

 minds of ni}^ informants. Thus, William Smith maintained that 

 g.'a^d'ntl * denoted elder sister; while Louisa Smith thought she 

 remembered that taqll'ici signified brother-in-law. Other terms that 

 may belong here are the nouns tcmd'tn (rendered by my interpreter 

 by cousin), that seemed to be used in addressing a non-related member 

 of the tribe; ts'il'mu't friend, referring to a person outside the 

 consanguinity and affinity group; Ui'mqma people, folks; and tsq 

 RELATIVE (see § 123), 



§ 21. Discriminative q- (qa-) 



This prefix is added to all terms of relationship and to all independ- 

 ent pronouns for the first and second persons, whenever they are the 

 subject of a transitive action or whenever the presence of both a 

 nominal subject and object in one and the same sentence necessitates 

 the discrimination of the subject. The discriminative case of nouns

 "stepfather."
