LIST OF SUFFIXES. 345 



tliat of veering or revolving around a real or assumed center, as we observe 

 it in the motion of eddies, wheels, slings, or the circling of the birds of prey. 

 The syllable ki- in -ki'dsha appears as a radical syllable in aggedsha and 

 some other verbs, and in an iterated form in kedshamkedshalkea. As for 

 its etymology, it represents the verb kidsha to crawl, as snakes, lizards, to 

 swim like fish. This verb really means to move sidewise; it is composed 

 of the prefix ki- and the verb idsha. From a large number of verbs in 

 -kidsha we select: 



kiuggidsha to describe circles, to cause to turn. 



ktiwalkidsha v. intr. to veer around; v. trans, to make revolve. 



muigidsha to form eddy. 



nakidsha, naggidsha to circle, float in the air. 



niulgfdsha to whirl around. 



shtchukalkidslia to form a bend or bends turns. 



talkidsha to rotate, gyrate. 



tunkidsha to form a circle, as the rings in tree-trunks. 



tchishgidsha to form a whirlpool, vortex. 



wakidsha to make a complete revolution. 



-kie'a, see -;^iea. 



-kl'llltl, or -kema, -ggl'ma forms intransitive verbs only, and points 

 to something going around or encircling some round object in a level plane, 

 as a rim encircles a basket, vase, etc. The syllable ki-, which expresses the 

 idea of the circle, is the same as in the suffix -kidsha. In some instances 

 the verbal suffix -ki'ma also serves for tlie nominal form, or the word may 

 be used as a postposition. Cf the suffix -ma. 



aggi'ma to encircle, as inanimate things, 

 gaki'ma, plur. ginki'ma to move around in a circle. 

 taki'ma to form a ring, to stand in a circle. 



tunki'ma (1) to follow the edge, as of a plate, book; (2) postposition, 

 all around, e. g., along the line of the horizon. 



In compound suffixes -ki'ma also occurs in the words l^aki'mitko hav- 

 ing tvavy lines, ktakimiila to cut off a round portion. A suffix -ke'mi appears 

 in gake'mi to describe a turn or bend.
