-a^tm. This suffix expresses the same idea as -awax, from which 

 it differs in so far only as it implies a transitive action that has a 

 third person as its object. It is probable that by some process of 

 contraction this suffix represents an abbreviation from an original 

 -awaxa^n or -awaxmi.

True Temporal Suflfixes (§§ 71-74) 

 %71' Introductory 



Siuslaw distinguishes between three true temporal categories, 

 namely, present, future, and past. Excepting for the first of these, 

 which is used to denote present and past, this differentiation is clearly 

 marked and strictly adhered to. 



§ 72. Present -t 



It denotes an action performed at the present time. Stems ending 

 in a vowel lengthen the vowel before adding the suffix -t; stems ending 

 in a z! insert an obscure (or weak) vowel between their final consonant 

 and the suffix (see § 4). Transitive present actions are expressed by 

 adding to the -t the transitive suffixes -un and -uts (se» §§ 28, 29).
