LIST OP SUFFIXES. 363 



-atcli This suffix is a compound of the durative suffix -uta, -6ta and of 

 -kish, -gish, q. v. (-otch occurs also as a contraction of -uish.) 



1. In personal names, -6tkish forms nomma actoris, describing the ha- 

 bitual employment or every-day occupation of persons. The component 

 -kish can be rendered here by maker, from gi to do, perform. 



shaklotkish player, gamester, gambler. 



shash;{utkish beggar. 



shuteotkish player in a throwing game. 



2. In names of inanimate things, -otkish forms nomina insfrumenti de- 

 scriptive of tools, instruments, as things used repeatedly, habitually, cus- 

 tomarily. The component -kish is here -kish No. 3, q. v. 



hushmoklotkish razor ; beard-pincers. 

 kshulutkish, Kl. mulincjtkish scythe. 

 pieni'itkish, contr. pienuatch scraping -paddle. 

 shumalotkish, contr. shumaluatch pen, pencil etc. 

 shutoy6tkish, Kl. sputoyutkish plow. 



-otcll, see -(5tkish, -uish. 



-p, a suffix marking inalienable property, which now occurs in sub- 

 stantives only, but at an early period of the language may have been a 

 possessive pronoun, his, her, its, theirs, or somebody's, for it is evidently related 

 to pi, p'na, p'nalam, pat, pish, pash, and to the prefix p-. 



1. Terms of relationship in -p, usually -ap, -ip. They mark relationship 

 by kin and by marriage; and here we find also the prefix p- in extensive use 

 in the ascending and in the descending line. In the oblique cases and in 

 forming compounds and derivatives the terms in -ap, -ip lose these terminals: 

 ptish=lulsh deceased father, for ptishap=lulish; shiptchp^alaltko related to each 

 other as brothers- or sisters-in-law, from ptchi'kap sister-in-law. Distributive 

 plurals are formed from -p by substituting -ishap to it, and a few of these 

 terms possess another distributive form created by reduplication : 



mak6kap, d. mak6kishap and mamkokap sister's son or daughter, said 



by aunt, 

 pgishap, d. pgishishap mother ; pgish lulatko bereaved of the mother.
