Instances where enclitic terms have not affected the position of the 

 accent are as follows :

II. PROCLISIS AND ENCLISIS. 



A number of particles, mostly conjunctions, some pronouns and adjec- 

 tives, or rather adjectival suffixes, are liable to lose their accent if placed in 

 certain positions, while others among them always appear unaccented. 

 These are monosyllabic ; those composed of two syllables are capable at 

 any time of reassuming accentuation, and hence can be classed here only 

 under restrictions. 



These unaccented terms may be said to lean either forward on the 

 coming accented word — to he proclitic ; or to lean backward on the accented 

 word just spoken — to be enclitic. Their influence on the accentuation of the 

 main word is onl}^ a casual one; cf Accentuation, pp. 237, 240. 



Proclisis is less frequent than enclisis; all proclitic words are capable 

 of assuming the accent, A list of them reads as follows: 



at now, then; mu, mu greatly, largely (not when apocopated from muni 

 large); ha if, when; tam, interrogative particle; wak? howf how so f A few 

 personal pronouns in their subjective cases, as nil, ni, i, pi, huk, hu, etc., 

 and the possessive pronoun mi thy, thine. 



Enclisis is frequently observed and generally appears when a personal 

 object-pronoun is connected with a transitive verb. Two enclitic monosyl-
