§ 128. Miscellaneons Adverbs and Conjunctions, Chnkchee. 



On the following pages I give a list of adverbs and conjunctions 

 without attempting to difiPerentiate between the two groups. The 

 meaning of many of the adverbail or connective particles is so un- 

 certain that a division seems hardly possible. Many of them have 

 such nice shades of meaning that they can not be rendered ade- 

 quately in English. 



The use of such particles is much more extended in Chukchee 

 than in Koryak. In Kamchadal most of the particles, particularly 

 most conjunctions have been lost and replaced by Russian loan- 

 words. 



The particles occur frequently in groups as will be seen for in- 

 stance in the use of um, ELo'n, a'mEn, etc. Some are always post- 

 positional and tend to unite phonetically with the word they modify 

 (see examples under um) 



um, Im, 'tn an emphatic adverb. It is always postpositional 

 and seems to emphasize the word to which it is attached 

 Following nouns: 

 Enfa'q fie'us'qat um . . . ganra'gtaLen then the woman . . . 



took it home 28.5-6 

 penyo'lhin um nleie'tyi^ the hearth blazed up 32.3
