LIST OF SUFFIXES. 353 



-li is affixed to adjectives formed almost exclusively by iterative reduplica- 

 tion of the root which invariably ends in a consonant (exception, see p. 

 262) This consonant has coalesced with -I- of the suffix in palpali white, 

 which thus stands for palpal-li. The adjectives in -li describe color, sur- 

 face-quality, temperature, or external shape, and the word, when the -li 

 is retrenched from it, is an adverb. Many color adjectives exist showing 

 other suffixes, but tliose in -li are the true and original color adjectives. 

 The accent usually rests on the penult, though it often recedes to the ante- 

 penult. To the numerous instances of adjectives in -li given on p. 262 

 we add the following: 



litchlitchli strong, robust, powerful. 



lushlushli warm (of animal heat). 



makma'kli gray. 



patpatli smooth, even, level. 



taktakli, taktakli red, scarlet, crimson. 



taltali (for taltal-li) running straight. 



-li'g'a, -lika, verbal suffix forming intransitive verbs, some of which 

 have passed into the condition of transitives. Tliis terminal is a compound 

 of three suffixes : -ala, the locative -i-, and the factitive -ga, -ka . it forms 

 verbs pointing to a remaining on, upon, or near, especially near the water, on
