Verbal Suffixes (§§ 23-81) 



§ 23. INTRODUCTORY 



The study of the verbal suffixes of Siuslaw brings out a strong ten- 

 dency to phonetic amalgamation between different groups of suffixes, 

 by which the component elements are often obscured. For this 

 reason the question of an ultimate relationship between many of the 

 suffixes that occur in Siuslaw can not be ascertained as easily as 

 might seem at first sight, owing chiefly to the fact that in most of the 

 compound suffixes the originally separate elements have undergone 

 considerable phonetic changes and have become to a large extent 

 petrified. However, a careful examination of the phonetic composi- 

 tion of those suffixes that convey kindred psychological and gram 

 matical concepts will show that certain phonetic elements of a given 

 suffix may have served originally to conduce one leading idea, and 

 have amalgamated, in the course of time, with other suffixes, thereby 

 showing a genetic relationship between many of the verbal suffixes.
