tu-. This prefix is either (1) the preposition tu out there, out at a dis- 

 tance, ill whicli case it expresses horizontjil and vertical distance or remote- 

 ness of tlio verbal act from home or from the one speaking-, or m- is (2) a 

 compound of t-, the prefix spoken of above pointing to what is erect, and 

 U-, a prefix indicative of long- articles or articles placed above, on the top 

 of (see below), on one's back. This compound prefix is in some respect 

 comparable to shu-, q. v.

 tiikgl^a to halt, stop on the way. 

 tiiklaktchna to stop at times on one^s way. 

 tuitchewa to hollow out by pressure. 

 tuyamna to move about with knees bent.

tch-, ts-, prefix occurring in terms which refer exclusively to the mo- 

 tions observed in water and other liquids, the moving or floating of objects 

 on or in the water, and the flow or motion of the liquids themselves. In 

 sound it presents some analogy with the suffixes -tcha, -dsha, -tchna, which 

 refer to motion in general. It should not be confounded with tch-, ts-, when 

 this is merely an alternation of the medial prefix sh-, as in tchga' for ska', 

 q. V. Words like tchuk occur in several northwestern languages in the sense 

 oi water; cf Chin. Jargon salt tchuk salt tvater. 



tchewa to float, said of water-birds etc.; from ewa. 

 tchiwa to form a body of water; from I'wa. 

 tchla'lpja to sink to the yround; from t'l^a.
