82. -{l)fi (Chukchee and Korj^ak) is a suffix which is often added to 

 the stems of adjectives when compounded, in Chukchee with 

 the form va'lin {<iva+li?i) the one who is, in Koryak with 

 i'tala^?i {it + la^n.^) (see p. 764) 

 In Chukchee the n before v generally changes to m. In other 

 cases the suffix is dropped entirely. The connective vowel 

 then changes to u before the v, which in turn changes to w.
