Grammatic classification. — Considered from a purely granimatic point 

 of view, a part of the suffixes may be subdivided as follows: 



Suffixes which are verbal and nominal simultaneously: -a, -ftga, -i, -tana. 



Suffixes made from verbs; they become agglutinated to the other com- 

 ponent part of the compound verb, and some change their last 

 sound: -kakiamna, -kakua, -ki (-gi), -kidsha, -tamna. 



Suffixes stating the number of the object: -ta, -yua. 



Suffixes forming denominative verbs: -ala, -;'ila, -alsha, -shla. 



Suffixes used for verbifying various nominal forms of the verb : -alsha, 

 -anka, -ansha, -insha, -kanka. 



Suffixes forming factitive verbs: -aga, -aga, -ala, -Ala, -ega, -fga, -ka, 

 -tka No. 6. 



Functional classification. — For this mode of classifying the verbal 

 suffixes of derivation, tlieir material functions have to be considered mainly 

 under the categories of mode of action, motion, or rest. These categories 

 are visible, and therefore of more importance to the Indian than tense and 

 mode. Tliey also form a contrast to the for)n categories expressed by the 

 prefixes of the language. We present the following list of them, while 

 recalling the fact that many suffixes are used in more than one function, 

 and therefore may occur in moi'e tlian one place below : 



1 . Suffixes describing motion. 



a. Motion in a direct line, or motion to a short distance: -n, -na, -tcha, 



-tchna, -wi'na. 



b. Motion toward the ground, soil: -hi (-i), -I'pa, -ui. 



c. Motion toward some other object, or toward the subject of the verb : 



-hi (-i), -fa, -ipa, -I'pkn, -pa, ta, -tpa, -ui, -nya, -wi'a.
