§ 109. Duplication of Sterns 



While this process is, strictly speaking, of a lexicographical char- 

 acter, and as such ought to be treated more properly under the head- 

 ing "Vocabulary" (see § 137), it will nevertheless be found useful to 

 give here a list of doubled stems. Barring a few nouns^ most of these 

 terms are adjectives denoting color and quality.

Vocalic Changes (§§ 110-112) 

 § 110. Introductory 



Siuslaw expresses two distinct grammatical categories by means of 

 vocalic change. Of these two categories, one is nominal, while the 

 other has a strictly verbal character pertaining to intensity and fre- 

 quency of action. When applied to nouns, vocalic change expresses 

 the discriminative case.
