 § 54. SUFFIXES -li- {-l^^iiy -cehi) 

 -ll', 'le^n, (Kor. Kam. -la^7if -[a]Ja^fif -[i]la^fi are similar to the 

 participle of the intransitive verb. As suffixes of substantives, 

 they indicate a person related in some more or less direct way 

 to the object. 

 After stems with terminal vowel -Im is used; after the terminal 

 consonant of a stem (except /, r, ?}, and t) the auxiliary vowel / is in- 

 serted before -lj7i. After terminal I, ?% ?i, and t, the suffix -le^7i is used, 

 which forms with terminal I or r the ending- -Le^7i, with terminal t the 

 ending-ie^??. With names this ending expresses a person acting(.^).
