This suffix is always added to the verbal stem by means of the ver- 

 balizing -a* (changed into -I; see § 75). Both -I and -a^ are subject to 

 consonantization before the initial vowel of the passive suffix, so that 

 this suffix invariably occurs as -lyusn- or -ayusn- (see § 8). In a few 

 instances it appears as -e^yusn- (see § 2). The subjective pronouns 

 beginning with a consonant are added to this suffix hj means of a 

 weak vowel ; and as a third person singular has no special form, and 

 since a terminal cluster of s + ^ is inadmissible, these suffixes in termi- 

 nal position always appear as -usue, -lyusuE or -ayusnE (see § 4).

In one instance this suffix has been added to a verbal stem by means 

 of the verbalizing -u* (see § 75). 



t(ri,n'^- to pack tmi^u'yusnE H qatc^nl' yusuE they 



pack it and go (literally, it is 

 packed and carried off) 100.20 



In another instance the suffix appears as -wusnE. 



lI'u (they) come 9.3 LimVkcu Llvn'wusnE flounder is 



brought continually 100. 10 



This occurrence of the w before -usnE may be explained as due to 

 retrogressive assimilation; that is to say, the original y has been 

 changed into w to agree in character with thew of the stem Liwa^' he 



COMES.
