-g'ien, -akia, -kia, a terminal appearing under many various forms and 

 representing in fact not a suffix, but an agglutinated pronoun gianki for 

 oneself, in one's own interest. This pronoun originated from the participle 

 giank of gi to do, perform, act, and the particle i, having: reflective signitica- 

 tion, appearing also in suffixes like -I'a; thus it really means "doing for one- 

 self" The more fi^equent abbreviations of -gianki, -gianggin, are -gink, 

 -kink, -ginggi, -kinki, -gin, -kin, and when fully reduced to the shape of a 

 verbal suffix combined with the verbal ending -a : -akia, -agia, aki, -agi, etc.
