§ 73. FORMS DERIVED FROM INTRANSITIVE VERB 



Nouns, adjectives, and pronouns are combined with the suffixed per- 

 sonal pronouns of the first and second persons, and thus express the 



idea to be . Verbal stems are nominalized in the same manner. 



In the third person such verbs take the affixes— 



1. sing, ni — qin ] 



1 *■ . one who is ma condition or performs an action 



pi. ni — qittet J ^ 



2. sing, ge — lin lone who has attained a condition or who has 

 pi. ge—linet J performed an action 



The second form may also be used with nouns, and expresses one 



WHO HAS . In the singular a connective i occurs between the 



verbal stem and the suffixed pronoun. In the first person singular of 

 verbs ending in a consonant the connective i forms a syllable and the 

 initial g of the suffix gum drops out. In Koryak, on the other hand^ 

 it is retained. When the stem ends in a vowel, the i forms a diph- 

 thong with it and the g of giii/i is retained. The following table illus- 

 trates these forms.
