Passive Suffixes Indicating Pronominal and Possessive Interrelations 



(§§ 38-39) 



§ 38. Passive Suffixes for Verbs Requiring in the Active a Double 

 Object -imE, -xiniE (-a^iraE) 



-tfriE, This suffix invariably follows the verbalizing -I or -a* (see 

 § 75), and seems to express the passive voice of verbs that require in 

 the active the presence of a double (direct and indirect) object, 

 although it will be found suffixed to verbal stems that do not neces- 

 sarily require such a double object. Whenever the subjective pro- 

 nouns are added to it, the obscure e of this suffix is changed into a 

 weak a or 1 The form -IniE occurs in terminal position only. This 

 suffix follows all temporal suffixes.

haw- to end, to make, 14.6 txutix hV^'sa hawa'ylniE ha} they 



are just good-minded toward 

 thee (literally, just thee well it 

 is made towards, mind) 21.1 



In two instances this suffix has been added to a stem without the aid 

 of the verbalizing -% (-a^).

upon (literally, thus it was 

 [made] easy) 24.1 



haw- to finish, to end 14.6 ha'uswiE ants tslaln ready (made 



for him is) that pitch 26.5, 6 



This suffix ma}^ be preceded — for the sake of emphasizing its passive 

 function — by the present passive -xam (see § 55). In such cases the 

 verbalizing suffix is omitted.
