§ 121» CofYiposition in Kiijuchadal 



The composition of words in Kamchadal is quite similar to that 

 of Chukchee and Koryak. 



Ice'li-yu'nyuix (Chukchee Tceii'li-re^w) spotted whale 

 However, the collected texts show that the use of compounds is 

 much more restricted. Besides, constructions are found that do not 

 agree with the synthetic method of Chukchee and Koryak. 

 ni'mcx'in p!'id! child being a woman (i. e., daughtei") 

 (Chukchee nee'TciTc^ Kor. Kam. naw-a'lcak woman-child) 

 In Kamchadal ololaxi^n Icl'sti^nc small little houses the adjec- 

 tive remains an independent word, as is indicated by its being in 



the plural form.
