The Kamchadal dialect of Sedanka also has the ending -t. 

 veta'tilan workman veta'tilat workmen 



su'nkil the one who flies su'nTcilat those who fly 



This can not be due to the influence of the neighboring Koryak 

 II, which has no dual, and uses only the u ending of the plural. 



§ 35. PLURAL OF PERSONAL NOUNS. 



'{I)nti (Kor. Kam. the same) [-{i)n + ti ; for -{i)n see § 39], expresses 

 a group of people belonging to and including a person of the name to 

 which the suffix is added. In Koryak Kamenskoj^e the ending 

 designates two persons only. This form is also vised with the inter- 

 rogative pronoun. 



Ye'tdifiti Yetilin and bis family 



(Kor. Acde'pininti) Acce'pin and his wife 



ne'wdnti their wives 



Tni'Tcinti (Kor. Kam. nia'Mnti) who? (see p. 726) 



Koryak Kamenskoye: 



Vdlvimtila^' ninti Raven-Man and his wife Kor. 12.1 

 Yini' a-na'wgutinti Yini'a-nawgut and her husband Kor. 19.6 

 A group of more than two is expressed in Koryak Kamenskoye 

 by the plural ending -wgi, but also by -inu. 



Attepina'iogt Acce'pin and his family. 

 Quyqnvi'aqu'wgi Big-Raven and his people Kor. 39.10 

 AmarnquJ thm Ememqut's people Kor. 43.7 

 pipi'Tc6a-na'wgutinu mouse-women Kor. 23.3 



§ 36. Bxclamatory Form of Nouns 



Nouns may be given an exclamatory form by transferring the 

 accent to the end of the stem, especially with the last word of the 

 sentence. 



kirnilJii'n worms 39.3 

 When the accentuation is stronger, the last vowel is changed to o. 

 In this case, proper names lose their suffixes, and have the accent on 

 the last vowel of the stem.
