484 GKAMMAlt OF THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE. 



8. Transitional case in -na. 



Tliis locative case-suffix occurs but in nouns of the inanimate order, 

 as in the parts of the human or animal body, in terms of topo<rrapliy, in 

 local names, and in a number of particles. It corresponds to our to, toward, 

 into, in, and is of the same origin as the verbal suffix -na, which is found in 

 verbs of motion, and points to short distances reached in succession, or to 

 spots reached on tlie passage to other places. It enters into the composi- 

 tion of composite case-suffixes, as -tana, -ksaksi'na, and then is often short- 

 ened to -n. It also stands in the subjective case of a few nouns, as Ifimuna 

 bottom etc. Cf. Li.st of Suffixes, under -na. 



kaftoks nisli tu'-una Lemaikshina, k.4-i Yainakshina kayaktgi shapi! 



tell them not to pursiie me around Shasta Butte (nor) toward Ydneks! 



40, 3. 4. 

 kadsilksaksina lii'kshktsa gil'-ish hu'k right upon his chin that ball took the 



skin off, 30, 5. 

 n^ak-ksaksina sli'ksga they came near wounding him on the skull, 21, 17. 

 nxashksaJvsina shlin he was shot in the boivels. 

 kfdsa iimbutat lemunana to dive to the water's bottom. 



The sufHx -na occurs, e. g., in the particles: hataktna bg that spot, muna 

 down below, p'lafna upward, tuna, tii-una around, tu4na, tuan Mod., at all times, 

 tfna once, t;^dlanma to the west. 



9. Temporal case in -emi. 



The suffix -emi, -iimi, -hiimi, abhr. -em, -;im, is usually emphavsized, 

 when the final -i is not retrenched, upon the penult. Like the final -i which 

 composes it, it has temporal functions only, and can best be rendered at the 

 time of, during. We liiid it appended chiefly to nouns indicative of time 

 and seasons of the year; also to indefinite verbals pointing to acts or per- 

 formances belonging to certain periods of the year only. While the tem- 

 poral suflix -i appended to verbals refers to incidents occupying a short 

 lapse in time only, -emi points to periods, epochs of some length, seasons.
