§ 77. Suffix Transitivizing' Verbs that Express Natural Phenoraena -l! 

 A suffix with a similar function is, as far as my knowledge goes, to 

 be found in but one other American Indian language; namely, in 

 Alsea. This suffix is added exclusively to stems expressing meteoro- 

 logical phenomena, such as it snows, it rains, the wind blows, night 

 APPROACHES, etc. ; and it signifies that such an occurrence, otherwise 

 impersonal, has become transitivized by receiving the third person 

 singular as the object of the action. Its function may best be com- 

 pared with our English idiomatic expression rain, snow overtakes
