§ 132. Interjections 



Chukchee and Koryak are rich in interjections. These may be 

 divided into several groups; namely, a) ejaculations expressing a 

 state of strong .emotion, without definite tone; &) exclamations 

 expressing assent, disapproval, surprise, fear, pain, question, call, 

 and answer, etc.; c) onomatopoetic interjections, sound pictures, 

 imitations of sounds, such as singing of birds, thumping of stones, 

 swishing of rapidly moving slabs, etc. ; d) words and phrases used as 

 exclamations. Some of these are derived from pronominal or con- 

 junctional stems, while others can not be reduced to such sources, 

 at least not at present.
