nect themselves with ena is remarkably large, as will 1)e seen t'lom the list 

 following: ana to fake away from, ahsfract, with ani'a and other derivatives; 

 kdna it is snowing, lit. "it is carrying (snow) obliquely, or from the sides"; 

 ksh^na to carry something long in the arm or arms, as a baby, a load of 

 wood, straw, grass, etc., whence kshun liay ; k'na fo carry a round object, or 

 to travel upon something round, as the wheels of a wagon, car, etc.; hence 

 gk'na, kk'na (1) fo carry fire by means of a stick burning at the end and 

 swung in u circle; (2) to hop, viz., "to swing one's body in a circular way" (a 

 derivative of this being klukalgi); shk'na to move something in a circle, or in 

 a round orbit, as is done witli the small rubbing stone or h'paklish (Mod.), 

 shilaklkish or pe'ksh (Kl.), upon the mealing stone or lenicUch; cf. le'ntko. 

 The verb shim to shoot appears to be originally the same woi'd as shk'na, 

 though now differentiated from it in signification ; it may have referred at 

 first to the curved or round path in the air described by the arrow when 

 impelled by the relaxation of the bowstring. Ni'na to carry something thin 

 and to move something flat, as the wings ; pana to dive, plunge; pii^na to scrape 

 sidcivnys really means "to carry or bring u])on the ground toward oneself" 

 There is another verb shk'na diftering from tlie one above as to the origin 

 of its prefix, and signifying to take along garments, mantles, etc., or some- 

 thing soft or pliant. Stcna is to carry in a bucket, pail, or other portable 

 vase of this sort. Shuentch hahy-hoard, in Modoc haby, is lit. "what is car- 

 ried on oneself," and presupposes a vei'b shucna, which is not recorded. 

 But there is a verb wt'na to wear out, to use up, as garments, the original 

 function of it being apparently "to wear, to carry upon oneself" A verb 

 tch^na to go, walk, serves in Modoc to express a plurality of subjects walk- 

 ing or going ; cf Grammar, page 439. 



Ena also forms derivatives with some suffixes; eni'a to carry to some- 

 body, e'mpgli, for t'napeli, to convey hack or home, and e'ui spirit-land, place 

 where spirits are being carried or wafted ; cf the Latin: manes, from manare 

 to be moved. Ema to bring, hand over, said of infants, contains the same 

 radix e- with the suffix -ma of motion upon the ground, and forms a large 

 number of derivatives by means of compound suffixes. 



EwA to }>c full of, to he filled np tjy, refers especialh' to water, liquids, 

 and such substances as sand, seeds, food, etc., and forms a family of words
