LIST OF SUFFIXES. 347 



(3) -kish when derived from gi, in the sense of to make, do, perform, 

 forms nouns which indicate that the action of the verb is done by means of 

 them; that they serve to fulfill the purpose expressed by the verb, though 

 not being exactly tools or instruments in our sense of the terms. The suffix 

 for these is -o'tkish, which is a compound of -kish. In some instances -kish 

 can be rendered by "maker." 



buno'kish beverage; lit. "drinking object." 



ininaksh, for i-amnakish neckwear; lit. "thing for wear." 



hiishpkhh fodder ; lit. " feeding-thing-for." 



luloksgish ^MW, rifle; lit. "fire-maker." 



n4-u\Rkg'\sh comicil-meeting ; lit. "decree-maker." 



shipkgish nose-ring; lit. "used for wearing."

tchunukish vomitive ; lit. " vomit-causer." 



(4) There is a number of substantives in -ksh, the origin of which is 

 not exactly known. In shayuaksh, waltkish, widshikish the ending is not 

 -kish but -ish, and tupaks younger sister is abbreviated from tiipakship. The 

 following may possibly owe their ending to a transposition of sounds : 



hfmpoks fallen tree, log ; cf hinui. 



kniiks thread, string. 



tchule'ks meat, flesh ; cf tchilala. 



-kla, -akla. This verbal suffix is a combination of -ka, -ga which forms 

 factitive verbs, and -ala, the meaning of which is very indefinite now, though 

 originally it must have pointed to a downward motion along the body or 

 other object. Most verbs in -kla are transitives and have the emphasis on 

 the antepenultima. 



^mtakla (for emtkala) to carry a baby on one^s back. 

 hashuakla to stay in company of. 

 nilakla (for nilka-ala) to appear, said of daylight, 

 niukla to confer through another ; from neya to give.
