242 GRAMMAR OF THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE. 



lables can be placed after an accented word, and one of them frequently 

 elides its vowel. Enclitic terms may be classed as follows : 



Suffixed adjectives are unaccented terms of an adjectival function quali- 

 fying a noun attributively, not predicatively ; two of them, gitko and shitko, 

 possess a non-enclitic distributive form and are inflected through all cases. 



dmtchiksh ancient, old, used up, in its abbreviation: -amtch. 



=gitko, =gitk, d. =giggatko possessed of. 



=kani some one, any one; cf (!0, 13, and the Dictionary. 



-ptchi, -mtchi, -tchi, -tch alike to, appearing like. 



=shitko, =sitk, d. =shish4tko alike to, resemhling. 



=tkani a little, somewhat. 



More will be found concerning these fovrr.s under "Adjective," below. 



Pronouns All the monosyllabic p::.-<onal pronouns, subjective and 

 objective, are appended enclitically to the verb which they govern or upon 

 which they depend. Subjective personal pronouns: ni, nvl /; i, ik thou; 

 huk, hun, hu, pi he, she, it; nad, nat, na we; at, a ye; sha, pat they. Ob- 

 jective personal pronouns: nish, nush, n'sh, n's me, to me; mish, m'sh, m's 

 thee, to thee; hun, hu, pish, push him, her, it; to him, to her, to it; nalash in 

 the form nash, nats, n's us, to us; malash in the form malsh ije, to ye; shash, 

 sas them, to them; sham, sam of them Enclitic possessive pronouns are mi 

 thine, thy ; p'na, Kl. m'na his, hers, its; sham, sam theirs. Demonstrative 

 and relative pronouns generally preserve their accent, but among the in- 

 definite pronouns, tu4 some kind of, loses it in compounding words: nAnuktua 

 every kind of; cf. =kani any one. 



Particles, when monosyllabic, are enclitic unless some particular em- 

 phasis is laid on them in connection with the whole sentence. The more 

 frequent of them are: a; aka, ak, ka; at;' ha; hak; ya, yu; -la, -le; lish; 

 mat; nen; pil; tak, tok, taksh, toks; tcha, tche, tsi; tchish, abbr. -tch, -ts; 

 tchkash; un, un. Their signification and use will be indicated below. 



The verb gi, to le, do, say, has several monosyllabic inflected forms which 

 may become enclitic, as gi, gfnk, gish, gisht, and the participle gitko, which 

 will then usually cast off the ending -o. The simple gi often abbreviates 

 into -k, -g: nastg so he said; E-uksni toks hipik hut of the Klamath Lake 

 men there were two.
