VERBAL INTENTIONAL. 609 



sense.* Inflected forms of -uta mostly belong to instrumental, not to dura- 



tive verbs. 



Titak kishkankotank shluyakiga Titak whldlcs while waUdiifj about. - 

 ku'lsh kuleotank ki' nak en gi' the badger, while entering (his den), nuikes 

 nak, nak, 185; 43. C£ 83, 2. 



7. The verbal intentional in -tki. 

 Identical in form, and almost alike in its purport with the exhortative 

 form of the imperative mode, is the verbal in -tki, -tgi. Unlike other ver- 

 bals, its subject is either that of the finite verb of the sentence, or differs from 

 it, and in the latter case the subject of the verbal, whether nominal or pro- 

 nominal, stands in the objective case. The function of the verbal in -tki is 

 to indicate purpose, intention, order, or command. Whenever the verbs, which 

 usually connect themselves with the verbal indefinite to express their gram- 

 matic or syntactic direct object (page 597) introduce a statement expressing 

 the intention or command of somebody, they are followed by this verbal. 

 Therefore it is but natural that verbs suggesting a command or injunction, 

 as shatela, ne-ul;ja, tpe'wa, are accompanied by this verbal in the majority 

 of instances. The verbal is in many instances followed by some inflec- 

 tional form of the auxiliary verb gi, especially by gii'iga, abbr. giug. Cf 

 also what is said in Morphology, pages 416, 417. 



a. Examples in which the subject of the finite verb is the same as that 

 of the verbal: 



iwam luitki n's lewitchta A they refused to give me whortleberries, 75, 10. 

 gatpa na tchekgli vudsho^alkitki we came here to wipe off the blood, 40, 16. 

 nal shguyuen mal shutanktgi he sent us to conclude peace with you, 40, 15. 

 ka-i nil shanahule nush sha-akaktantgi / do not tvish to be blamed. 



b. Examples in which the subject of the finite verb diff'ers from that of 

 the verbal. The subject of the verbal is sometimes mentioned; at other 

 times, not: 



ka-i tchu'leksh patki shapiya he told (them) not to eat any meat, 13, 17. 

 alahia K'mukamts kokantki giug Kmukamtch showed (him) the pine tree 

 (he had) to climb, 100, 6.
