3. -na as a verbal suffix is appended only to transitive and intransi- 

 tive verbs describing or considered to describe motion, and there are many 

 instances where the simple form and the form in -na occur simultaneously. 

 Verbs of motion in which -na is found are those of taking, throwing, giving, 

 conferring, walking, flying, traveling by water or land, etc., and also those 

 expressing motion of the air produced by sound, as calling, hearing, thun- 

 dering. This suffix also composes a large number of other suffixes, as 

 -kna, -tana (-tna), -tchna. 



In many instances the function of -na is to point to a distance, or to a 

 sJiort distance, away from the subject of the sentence or from the one speak- 

 ing. This will appear from the following examples: 



hemta to call somebody, hemtana to call somebody to come. 



huta to rush at, hiitna to rush some distance at somebody. 



kputcha to expel, oust, kputchna to spurt from mouth. 



l^wa to play, le-una to play at some distance. 



kt'dsha to grow, kedshna to grow on, to continue to grow. 



k'k'ka to die, expire, k'lekna to be moribund. 



nde-uli to fall or roll on the ground, nde-ulina to fall, roll a short distance. 



wt'lka to produce a blaze, welkana to blaze up. 



There are many other parallel forms of this sort to be found in the 

 Dictionary : 



hunta and huntna to fly. vut6dsha and vutudshna to reject. 



ika and ikna to extract. wiudsha and wiudshna to beat. 



liwa and liuna to assemble. 



Other verbs in -na occur only in the suffixed form, because with them 

 the object of the verbal motion is always removed at some distance, large 

 or small, from its subject, or the subject is supposed to be in progress from 

 place to place, as in lemena it thunders. 



genana to travel uninterruptedly. 



huntchna to fly or soar in a straight line.
