THE ADESSIVE CASE. 487 



of marking (1) a rest or stay at some place, and (2) a motion toward an ob- 

 ject. This latter function is not real, only apparent. Cf also -ksaksi. 



(1) -kshi marks rest, existence, sojourning, dwelling, living at a certain 

 spot, locality, in some district or tract of land. When appended to a per- 

 son's proper name, or to a generic term for person or man, it points to 

 the lodge, house, or dwelling of; it is then appended to the possessive case 

 in -am, -lam, and closely corresponds to the French preposition chez, which 

 also represents a word for house, home, residence (casa).

 amksh and Lemti-ishamksh, in the form of a subjective case. 



(2) -kshi apparently marks in some passages a motion toward, in the 

 direction of, a going or coming to an object, as if standing for -tala. But 

 in the mind of the Indian -kshi indicates not motion, but rest only, and a 

 sentence like shuldshi'imkshi gatpa he came to the soldiers' camp, 40, 12 (cf 40, 

 22) must be Interpreted as "he went to the place where the soldiers' camp 

 or home is or ivas." Other instances are :

 missioners' tent, 40, 6.
