DISSYLLABIC DISTKIBUTIVK REDUPLICATION. 



The terms vviiicli duplicate two initial syllables to form a distributive 

 are composed with prefixes, as i- (yi-), and chiefly with ii- (vu-). These 

 prefixes have coalesced with the radix so firmly as to become inseparable, 

 and are now reduplicated with it without any alteration in sound. 



There are as many phonetic modes of reduplicating dissyllabically as 

 there are of monosyllabic reduplication; to be brief, we will treat of them 

 as belonging to two classes only, as follows : 



1. Reduplication in a. 



Instances of it are : 

 ud(?lgatko checkered, d. ude-udalgatko. 

 udita to chastise, d. udi-udAta. 



udslifkl^a to fall tvhile stimibling, d ndshi-ndshdkl;fa. 

 udiipka, vudiipka to ivhip, heat, ndfidapka. 

 udi'imtchna to swim on surface, ududamtchna. 

 lilal, vulal Cottonwood tree, d. ula-ulal. 

 ul4plpa to flicker about, d. ula-uldplpa. 

 utchin to fish with net, d. utchi-utchdn. 



2. All other modes of reduplication. 



Gathered under one head, this list contains instances of the jdioneti- 

 cally altered modes of distributive reduplication described under "Mono- 

 syllabic distributive reduplication." 



Reduplication with syncope of a: 

 ndAma to cover a vase, d. udA-udma. 

 udo;j6tkish whip, d. ndo-ud^otkish. 



Reduplication without vocalic change: 

 hiliidshna, yil6dshna to push aivay, d. hilu-hiludshna. 

 yime'shka to abstract, d. yime-ime'shka. 

 uyo;jatko striped, streaked, d. uyo uyo^Atkcv
