pronouns indicating the subject of the action are added to this parti- 

 cle and never to the exhortative suffix (see § 26). 



The reasons for the interchange between -Ixmi and -a^xmi are 

 discussed in § 2.

In one single instance the exhortative for a second person (singular) 

 occurs. The suffix is followed by the future passive -% (see § 56), and 

 the exhortative particle is missing. 



maltc- to burn 25.2 miltcl' xmlnx you may get burned 



(literally, to burn [exhortative, 

 future passive] thou) 26.9 

 § 64. Exhortative -1 

 This suffix admonishes the speaker to perform an act, the object of 

 which must be one of the second persons, and may best be rendered 

 into English by let me, thee .... The object of the action is 

 expressed by adding the subjective pronouns to this suffix (see § 24) 

 by means of a weak a- vow el (see § 4). Singular subjects are not ex- 

 pressed phonetically; duality or plurality of subject is indicated by 

 means of the independent personal pronouns (see § 113). The particle 

 ^" (see § 127) frequently follows these exhortative forms, and, when 

 preceding a form with the second person singular as the object {-lanx), 

 it changes the final x into a (see § 4). 



L/wdn- to tell 17.1 L/wd'nlatix let me tell thee! 



Lol- to hit LolE'lats let me hit you two! 



hate'- to ask 66.16 ha'tc'latci let me ask you! 



Llwdn- to tell 17.1 Llwafnlanak'^ let me tell thee! 



<L!wd'nlanxl<:^ 



For other devices employed in Siuslaw for the purpose of express- 

 ing the exhortative mode, see § 129.
