§ 95. Verbal Nouns 



As stated under the sections dealing with various post-positions 

 nominalized verbs appear often with these endings. Following is the 

 series of forms observed. 



Chukchee 



Koryak Kamenskoye 



Allative . . 

 Locative 

 Subjective . 

 Comitative I 

 Comitative II 



-iti 



-h)k, -Hi) 

 -t'i, -a 

 -ma 

 -maci 



-{i)k, -(.d)k, -ka, kka 

 -ta, -a 



-inaci 



Among these forms, the last one does not correspond to a nominal 

 post-position; the Comitative 1 is analogous to the nominal suflSx, 

 which, however, has the prefix ga-, which is absent in the verbal noun. 



ALLATIVE 



In Chukchee the allative of the verbal noun is used with verbs ex- 

 pressing attempt, desire, preparation. 



awkwate'ti tigaica'wlcrn I make haste to depart (ewkwet to leave; 



t- 1; gaitau to hasten; -rlcrn present) 

 le^u'ti lile'pgi^ he looked to see; {lu^ to see; lile eyes; -7^ to put on; 



-gi' he) 

 nen-ni'ud^n take^M'ti they sent him to get provisions 66.32 



The Koryak uses the locative instead. 



\ penye'Tcinen tdlai'vik he rushes to strike it Kor. 53.3
