the suffix -tirn^ that is added to the cardinal numerals for ten. The 

 numeral thus amplified is preceded by the cardinals from two to ten 

 (inclusive). Thus twenty, literally translated, means two times ten, 

 THIRTY signifies three times ten, and one hundred denotes ten 

 TIMES ten. The numeral for thousand was, naturally enough, never 

 used. The informant invariably gave the English equivalent for it. 



The Adverb (§§ 118-121) 

 § 118, Introductory 



Siuslaw has, comparatively speaking, a small number of adverbial 

 stems. These express ideas of a local, temporal, and modal character. 

 A few of them are compounds, — that is to say, they consist of two or 

 more adverbs that occur independently also, — while others occur 

 with the adverbial suffixes whose function is always in harmony 

 with the ideas expressed by the bare stem. Thus a few adverbs indi- 

 cating local ideas appear with the local suffix -te (see § 90), while most 

 of the modal adverbs take the suffixes of modality -Itc or -a (see §§94 

 and 96). 



It is quite conceivable that the final Ic in the local adverbs tile, stlmlc, 

 and sqa^Jc, may imply some local idea, especially in view of the fact that 

 both stlm and stlmk occur. 



A very important law applying to local adverbs (and phrases) is the 

 fact that, whenever they are used in connection with nouns, the nouns 

 invariably take the locative case-endings (see § 86).
