§ 76. Auxiliary -s, -t 



These suffixes express our ideas to have, to be with. A peculiarity 

 that remains unexplained is the fact that they are always added to the 

 locative noun- forms that end in -a or -us (see § 86). 



-s is always added to the locative form ending in -«, and never to 

 the -us form, which may be due to phonetic causes. The use of this 

 suffix is rather restricted. It is not inconceivable that it may be related 

 to the durative -Is (see § 69). 



Absolutive Locative Auxiliary

have an arrow 50.16

Ikwa'ni pipe Ikwa'nya Ihwa'nyasin I am with a 



pipe 

 * Iqa^'Hu log 32.21 Iqa't^wa Iqa'P^was he has a stick 



-t occurs verj^ often, and is added to all forms of the locative case. 

 It can never be confused with the sign of the present tense -^, because 

 it is invariably preceded by the locative forms in -a or -us, while the 

 suffix for the present tense follows vowels and consonants other than a 

 or s (see § 72).
