-ilia, -ela, -al, -la. This verbal suffix is of great frequency and various 

 import. It also forms quite a number of compound suffixes. The similarity 

 of origin with -ala and other analogies were pointed out when speaking of 

 that suffix. The circumstance that the accent rests upon the base of the 

 word, and not on the suffix, causes a weakening and falling off of vocalic 

 parts of the suffix; thus -ala changes into -6la, -'la, -al, and into -la, which 

 is more frequent than the other forms. Many of these are denominative 

 verbs. It will })e best to divide these verbs into intransitives and transit! ves 

 and to subdivide the latter into verbs formed (a) from substantives in -sh, 

 (b) from substantives having other endings, (c) from verbs. 



1. Intransitive verbs in -Tda etc., formed from other verbs apparently. 



sluikatla to come up the road or trail. 

 tchikla to sit on, u])on, within. 

 skutchala to dress in a mantle, blanket. 

 pakla to bark at. 

 muluala to rot, to become rotten. 

 spune'kla it is getting late at night. 



2. Transitive verbs in -ala etc. 



(a) Formed from substantives having the usual suffix of substantives, 

 -sh (-ash, -isli, etc.); therefore these verbs all end in -shla or -shala. They 

 indicate that the object represented in the noun, of which they are deriva- 

 tives, is collected, manufactured, made into something or turned to account.
