266 GRAMMAK OP THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE. 



Of the first class we give the foHowing' instances: 

 kmdka to look out, d. kak'nika and kniak'mka. 

 kiudl^a to lay down, cl. kukinelxa and kinckinal%a. 

 ktana to sleep, d. kakta and ktakta. 

 piiedsha to throiv away, d. pepudsha and pue'piidsha. 

 tmeshka to abstract, d. tetniashka and tmetmashka. 

 tchlika to pinch with nails, d. tchitclil%a, Kl., and tchitclilaka, Mod. 

 wd-ish productive, d. wawA-ish, Kl., and wawawish, Mod. 



No difference in signification is stated between the two reduplicated 

 forms of the terms above given, except for kniaka and knit^l^a; here kak'mka 

 and kukmel^a refers to a few objects only, from two to four, but the second, 

 more complete forms refer to many objects. The same is stated of the verbs: 



Idktcha to cut, sever, d. lahiktcha and lalkatcha. 



tekua to break, d. tetakua and tetkewa. 



Here the second form is evidently derived from lakAtcha and tekc'wa, 

 verbs which through the shifting of the accent gradually became laktcha, 

 tdkua. Hence the difference in the functions of the two reduplicated forms 

 is a purely conventional one and not founded on etymology. Kekmel;(a 

 has originated from kmekmelxa, kmc'kmal/a by the ekthlipsis of the sound 

 m from the first syllable. 



Other verbal forms are as follows: 



kawakdga to rip up tvith the teeth, d. kakaukaga and kawakaukdga. 



ulAgsha to lap, d. ula-ulaksha and ulakshulaksha. 



utchaya to split (as wood, etc.), d. u-utcha)a and utcha-utchdya. 



With these and others formed in the same manner it is evident that 

 the first form alone is a distributive and the second an iterative verb, and 

 therefore a derivative of the radix or stem and not an inflectional form of it. 

 Numerous terms beginning with u-, vu-, exhibit both modes of duplication 



The second class of terms showing a twofold reduplication are those 

 which possess two distributive forms, of which the second is formed from 

 the first one. 



sluuklsh fiylder, d. shishokish, "-d d. shish'shokish. 



sh41gia to put or 2}lace against, d. shashalgia, 2d d. shash'shalgia to quarrel, 

 viz., to lay to the charge of
