§ 52. SUFFIXES -Ih- and -Im- 



-lh{ln) (Kor. -Infn), the absolute form of a sufEx -Ih-, which occurs 



with great frequency as the absolute form of certain words. 



In most cases it is not retained with other suffixes, although cases 



of its retention are also numerous.

-lln{ln) (Kor. -lfn[I')i']^ sometimes -ILInl'ln] is used in the same 



way as the preceding suffix. 



va^'glinni (stem ve^g) (Kor. Kam, va^'y-Jinm [stem vt^y]} grass 



It is not always easy to determine whether the -Ih belongs to the 

 stem or not. 



^pa'lhin tallow 86.23 (upa'lha 87.4) 



kopa'lhin walrus-blubber 12.6 (kopa'lha 14.11)

auta'lhin obsidian scraper 39.12 



perka'lhin bowlder 129.6 



ri'lhi' Linin and reliLinni wing (stem 7'dh, ril) 15.2 

 Of these, the first five stems retain the suffix Hi with post-positions. 

 The primary stem, however, is without this suffix: for instance, 



> The text has kimilM'n because emphasis is laid on the word which is the last in the sentence. If 

 there had been more stress this form would have been kimilho'n (see § 36). S 52
