It is often combined with the verbal noun of transitive verbs in -td 

 to express the same idea, thus forming a periphrastic expression. 

 The verb rt is referred directly to the object of the transitive verb, 

 to the nominal form of which it is joined.

§ 81. NOTES ON CERTAIN KAMCHADAL VERBS 



The special verbs discussed in the preceding pages are repre- 

 sented in Kamchadal by a number of very irregular forms of a num- 

 ber of evidently related stems: cA, ck^ for the present or derived 

 forms; T, /A, Tk^ for the indicative and exhortative. The forms 

 with k. correspond, on the whole, to the transitive forms of the 

 paradigm on pp. 744-745, although not all the forms can be inter- 

 preted in this manner. The derived form of the intransitive form 

 is defective, only the second person singular and the third person 

 plural being found. The verb, when relating to objects or animals 

 (i. c., not to persons), has forms which recall the transitive forms. 

 Their use corresponds to the use of the Chukchee stem tva.

Both constructions, with the locative-possessor's and with the 

 possessive cases, are found. 



The personal form is transitive, but has peculiar endings.
