LIST OF SUFFIXES. 313 



the accent sometimes recedes upon a preceding syllable, as in gelkaya, 

 gelkcii, gelkai to erect a platform upon a scaffold. Substantives like tchatchlai 

 fire-fly, tchashkai weasel^ seem to embody the same suffix, -ay a. Examples: 



kshaggaya, iggaya, laggaya to hang doivn from something, and to hang 



up, suspend on something, 

 ktchikaya to climb, creep, crawl on, upon, ana to creep upon a tree, or 



through the timber. 

 huk4ya, gakaya to run, to go into the ivoods. 

 tgakdya, liukaya to stand or remain on ; to stag in the ivoods. 

 shualaya to he idle ; cf. wal^a to sit ivaiting. 



-ak, see -aga. 



-akia, see -gien, -tki. 



-akie'a, see -%i(^a. 



-akla, see -kla. 



-akta, see -ta. 



-azia, see -/ie'a. 



-azie'a, see -%i^a. 



-al, see -ala. 



-ala, verbal suffix related to -ala and composed of the same elements, 

 but differing from it by the location of the emphasized syllable. The verbs 

 composed with both terminals are almost exclusively of a transitive nature, 

 and the verbs in -ala and in -ala are in part verba denominativa, but more 

 generally derivatives of other verbs. The suffix -ala composes many other 

 suffixes, as -al^a, -alsha, -alshna, -alsh, etc. The origin of this suffix seems 

 to have been the same as that of the prefix /- No. 2, pointing to a doivnivard 

 motion along something, which is also embodied in the words lash, hla', hlala, 

 q. v., the roots of which are made up by the sound /. Some of their num- 

 ber can geminate the I of the suffix, and they do so especially in song lines: 

 shuinalla, genalla. Cf -altko, -cla, -I'la. 



Derivatives from other verbs: 

 spalala to feed the young ; for spanala; cf pan to eat.
