§ 128. JParticles Denoting Connection with Previously 



Expressed Ideas 



Siuslaw has only two particles that serve this purpose. These are 

 nVctmii and -i/ja^ 



nt'ctcttn indicates causality, and is best rendered by because. 



. . . nVctcim sqa^Tc Ll'watll . . . because there he frequently 

 came 68.4, 5 



. . . ni'ctctm s^as 'kl^xa'yun tE hltc . . . because he made disap- 

 pear these people 18.8 



. . . nVctci'niinviEqlya'wax . . . because I intend to dance 72.12 



. . . m'ctim^)ix na?nH fs'q . . . because you are my relative 21.5 



wa^ is best rendered by although, even, in spite of. It may 

 refer to the sentence as a whole or to any of its parts. The complex 

 of ideas dependent upon wO^ is invariably introduced by the conjunc- 

 tion H (see § 125).
