034 GEAMMAR OF THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE. 



ployed in Iroquois, Kayowe, and Atakapa. In Klamath it is frequent 

 enough to require a separate chapter of the Granmiai-. When the verbs 

 combine in one, the first one in some instances loses its conjugational suf- 

 fixes, and appears only in the shape of its radix or base, while the second 

 verb retains its inflectional elements. Compounds of exactly the same de- 

 scription are the verbs formed by means of the suffixes -kakiamna, -kakua, 

 -ki (-gi), -kidsha, -tamna, all of which are originally verbs. To the follow- 

 ing list I add after the two-verb compounds those nominal compounds, the 

 first of which is a verb, the second a substantive formed from a verb.
