LIST OP SUFFIXES. 389 



2. Suffix -ui, implying motion toward a person, generally toward the 

 one speaking. 



giildshui to approach somebody or one's lodge, 

 pekalui to he an accomplice. 

 shahamui to call somebody to come. 

 sheshatui to sell ; from shc^sha to value, prise. 

 shtelu'ktii to dray after oneself. 

 sliiuinui to he in love with, to covet. 

 tashui to touch; to attack with weapons. 

 tawi to hewitch by magic spell. 



3. Suffix -ui, in the adverbs iitui now, getui over yonder, is simply a 

 combination of the two well-known particles u and i with the particles at, 

 g^t, ge't, q. V. Cf. also tchui, tchuyunk. 



-U'lzi, see -oi'zi. 



-ui'lia, see -wina. 



-Vlisll, compound suffix simultaneously verbal and nominal, and 

 always pointing to something performed or achieved in the past. The first 

 comdonent -u- is the particle u, hu, which refers here to distance also, but to 

 distance in time; the second component -ish forms nomina acti, sometimes 

 noinina instrumenti (cf. -ish No. 2). Though often pronounced -wish, -uish 

 is distinctly dissyllabic in its origin. 



1. Verhal inflectional suffix -wish forms the verbal preterit, which is not 

 inflected for case: ht'mkankiiish the act of having spoken; from hdmkanka to 

 speak. Cf Verbal Inflection. 



2. Nominal derivational suffix -uish, sometimes contracted to -otch, forms 

 nomina acti, some of which possess parallel forms in -ish, as palkuish and 

 palkish, q. v. The nouns in -uish all designate inanimate things, inflect for 

 case, and the -u- of some of their number can be rendered by previous, 

 former, early. This does not always imply that the object mentioned does 

 not exist any longer. 



gut^kuish aperture, passage-way. 

 h(imkankuish speech delivered in the past.
