In many instances the locative form of a noun or pronoun followed 

 by the local sufSx of motion -tc indicates the idea of instrumentality.

§ 91. Local SuflB.x Indicating Rest -u (-a»*) 



This suffix is added to such stems as are not considered nominal, 

 and hence can not express the local idea of rest by means of the loca- 

 tive -a or -us (see § 86). It is consequently suffixed to adjectives — 

 which are really intransitive verbs — and it performs for such terms 

 the additional function of a locative case-ending. The only noun to 

 which this suffix has been found added in its local and objective mean- 

 ing is the stem s^'xa* canoe (see § 86). This apparently exceptional 

 use of the local suffix -u in connection with a noun may be due to the 

 fact that the informant, unable to recall a single instance of the noun 

 ^'xa} in its proper objective form {^xaya'f), and not conscious of the 

 grammatical processes of her language, has endeavored to form the 

 objective case according to her own idea. The idea implied by this 

 suffix may be rendered by ix, at, on. The interchange between -u 

 and -a* has been discussed in § 2.
