416 GRAMMAR OF THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE. 



Re.aders shoiikl take care not to confound the verbal -6ga, -uga with 

 derivative verbs formed by the homonymous suffix -oga, implying the idea 

 of location inside, tvithin, and other meanings ; nor with the enclitic pronoun 

 liuk, uk this one, he, she, or tlie adverb hiik (for hunk) which points to the 

 past tense, as in lewatkuk after inlaying, 109, 15, for Ic'watko huk. In some 

 instances huk, uk even stands for ak, hak only, hut; cf 8 J, 1, and Note. 



6. The verbal durative. 



It is formed by appending -iita, -ota to the simple form of the verb, a 

 suffix whicli corresponds to our while, whilst; or, if the verbal is rendered 

 by a noun or participle, to our during, pending. So this verbal intimates 

 tliat tlie action or state which they express lasted during the time of the 

 act expressed by the finite verb of the sentence. When the act or state 

 expressed by the verbal continues longer than tliat of the main verb, the 

 suffix -uta, -ota corresponds to our after. This suffix is neitlier conjugaljlc 

 with gi to he, nor susceptible of inflection; it has therefore to be kept dis- 

 tinct from -uta forming derivative verbs as we find them in 35, 4. 83, 2. 

 185 ; 43. Cf List of Suffixes, under -lita. 



g(^na to go, walk; geniita tvhile ivalking. 

 gukna to climb; gukeniita while climhing up, 95, 3. 

 gull to creep into; kule-ota while creeping into. 

 hcmkanka to speak; hemkankota during (his) speech. 

 stc'iwa to starve, fast; sta-6ta while fasting. 



7. The verbal intentional. 



This verbal ends in -tki, -tgi, which is sometimes mispronounced -tka, 

 -tga, and gives the purpose, aim, or intention by which the action of the 

 finite verb, from whicli the verbal depends, is performed. Thus it answers 

 to our in order to, for the purpose of, and in its form does not differ from 

 the exhortative form of the imperative mode. More frequently than Modoc 

 does the Klamath Lake dialect connect it with forms of gi to be, especially 

 with its causative form ginga, gi'ug. In this connection the infinitive is 

 often substituted for the form in -tki. In a few instances -tki is found to
