In the morphologic part we also detect a number of close analogies 

 between the two families: 



hash-, hish-, is a prefix forming a sort of causative verbs by anathesis 

 in Molale, like h-sh of Klamath; e. g., ishi he said, hishashi he replied. 



-gAla, kala, a Molale case-suffix to, toward, corresponds to -t;ila toward 

 of Klamath. 



-im, -am forms the possessive case in Wayileptu; am in Klamath. 



p- is prefix in terms of relationship in both families, and -p also occurs 

 as suffix in these and other terms; cf. Sahaptin. 



Distributive forms are made by syllabic reduplication in Kayuse exactly 

 in the same manner as in Klamath : yamua great, d. yiyimu ; lahtiyis old, 

 d. Ialh4yis ; luastu bad, d. laluastu ; suayu good, d. sasu4yu. 



SAHAPTIN DIALECTS. 



The Sahaptin dialects coincide with Klamath just as strikingly in some 

 of the words and grammatic forms as do those of Wayiletpu, and it is sin- 

 gular that in a number of these all three mutually agree, as in lukua, muk- 

 mukli, and two numerals.
