The verbs with 1- or lu- prefixed, referring to one object of round, 

 rounded, or bulky exterior, exchange this prefix for p-, pe-, or pe-u- when 

 more than one object is spoken of, sometimes with alteration of the suffix 

 also. In the examples below the prefix syllable also serves as radical syl- 

 lable.

 when a plurality of objects is spoken of 



Verbs with prefix shu-, when referring to the driving of many objects, 

 as horses, cows etc., assume the prefix n- ; when only a few objects are con- 

 cerned, the prefix tp- is used, at least in the Modoc dialect.

3. Change of the radical syllable is resorted to only in verbs of a certain 

 class, like those of giving, breaking, cutting, killing, digging, etc. This 

 granunatic process stands outside the limits of any law or rule, and a slight 

 diff"erence of signification can usually be discovered through careful analysis
