270 GRAMMAR OF THE KLAMATH LAN(JUAGE. 



nfto to sup2)ose, d. nfnto, Instead of nfnato. 

 shnik6a to hurl, d. shnislink6a, instead of shnislinakua. 

 st4wa to starve, d. shtdslitua, instead of slitiislitawa. 

 t6'ke fire-place, d. to't^e, instead of t()'ta;^e. 



Shl^a to see, find, forms shk'shla and not shldshla-a, because the suffix 

 -a, as a particle, does not really form a part of the verb. In shk'shla the -a 

 is therefore the product of the reduplicating pi-ocess and not the final -a of 

 shl^a. It must be observed, however, that many verbs in a-a keep this 

 suffix in their distributive forms, it being secured there by the accent x-est- 

 ing on it. 



3. Reduplication without vocalic change. 



The vowel of the first syllable is long through synizesis or other causes, 

 though it is not pronounced long in every instance. The vowel of the sec- 

 ond or reduplicated syllable becomes long also, for it is the repetition of the 

 preceding vowel. Many terms beginning with a vowel reduplicate in this 

 manner, and I know of no instance of this sort of reduplication in which 

 the first syllable is not the radical syllable.
