ta'dsll, ta'ds is another conjunction used in connecting sentences of 

 an adversative import. It inti-oduces a more unexpected contrast than tak, 

 taksh, and answers to our in spite of, although; it does not occupy the first, 

 but usually the second place in the sentence. A considerable number of 

 instances were given in the Dictionary, page 382. 



tak, /o/r, tiU; enlarged taksh, -taks, toksh, -toks, tiiksh, is a connect- 

 ive particle, the full significance of which can be studied only from its 

 use in the compound sentence. Nevertheless, some points may be brought 

 out here concerning its use in the simple sentence. It belongs to the 

 enclitic particles and does not reduplicate ; sometimes it can be translated 

 in English, sometimes not. Its purport is either of an emphatic or of an 

 adversative, disjunctive nature, and when used in the latter' sense it cor- 

 responds in many cases to the German doch. It is ap{)ended to all parts 

 of speech, though after substantives it occurs but rarely; cf. 100, 20. 

 Vowels before tak, toks often become elided through syncope ; e. g. telin- 

 tok for telinatok. The enlarged forms of the particle virtually possess 

 the same signification as the simple ones, but words and sentences are 

 connected by them more closely to what precedes, and they are not em- 

 ployed to form a future tense; I have therefore treated both in separate 

 articles in the Dictionary. 



A. — The emphatic use of tak, toksh appears : 



(fl). In the emphatic pronoun: nutak myself; hi'itak himself; kahaktok 

 whatsoever, 71, 7, etc.; cf. Emphatic Pronoun, pages 552, 553. 



(b). In verbs like the following: nu kmAkatoks / look all around; cf. nu 

 kmiika I loo'k around.
