s^a^'na refers to objects only, and serves as the objective form of 

 the missing personal pronoun for the third person (see § 113). Hence 

 it may be rendered by this, that, him. By adding the subjective 

 suffixes to it (see § 24), the dual and plural persons for this pronoun 

 are obtained.

fil, tu'Uf a demonstrative pronoun that may best be rendered by 

 that one. It denotes subjects and objects alike. A comparison be- 

 tween this pronoun and the previously discussed s^a, suggests that the 

 initial elements t and s may be petrified prefixes having the function 

 of demonstrative pronouns. This assertion receives further substan- 

 tiation from the fact that Siuslaw forms, in analogy to s^ds, a discrimi- 

 native pronoun tu'as, and that it has two other demonstrative stems 

 whose initial elements are t- and s- respectively. These pronouns are 

 tu'aH that kind and s^aH this kind, and they may be explained as 

 being composed of t- (tu-) + -aH and s- + -aH. The function of the 

 second element can not be explained. The t- occurs, furthermore, 

 independently as tE (see p. 580).* 



The pronoun tu, tu'a, occurs also in dual and plural forms, obtained 

 by adding the subjective suffixes -a^x and -nx (see § 24) to it.
