Haul, to, o-ta'-bwOt; hajil (imp.), tukb-bod ; haul haclc, tukb-bOd tu lak'. 



Have, to, like tbe verb to he, is wanting. Its place as a possessive verb is supplied by 

 (be same adjectives, a-Ok and at-suts, words denoting j)re.sence or existence, or by 

 tbe tonuection. Have you any salmon f a'-ok kwi' scbe-dad-bu- uP diig-we'' ? (litei'- 

 ally, present salmon tcith you). I have some, at'-suts. See, I have some (this) bread, 

 be-lab, at-suts til sap'-o-lil (sap-o-lil, a borrowed word). In otber pbrases tbe words 

 seem to be understood. I have a gun, ya'-sbed bwul-ti-mfdsb. 



He, she, absolute, tzil, tziii-il. Tbese are never used as nominatives to a verb, and in 

 fact seldom iu auy' mode except in the possessive ; as, his horse, gwul tzil sti-a-ke'- 

 yu. For tbe most part, tbe verb iu tbe tbird person, botb singular aud plural, 

 stands alone, and, as elsewhere shown, this person iu tbe present tense is tbe sim- 

 plest form in which it occurs. Sud-ditl is, however, sometimes employed as » 

 nominative; as, Ae /tears, sud-ditl as-kla'-bot; he sms, sud-ditl o-la'-bit. Del-shid 

 represents a person who is absent ; e. g., de4-sbid, delshid s'hul-sbtit-sid [he under- 

 stands), the pronoun being here duplicated for gi-eater certainty. There seems to 

 be no copulative in tbe tbird i)erson, unless it be shi, which occurs in tbe following 

 cases : at the (it) house, ul-sbi a'-lal ; that man there {he) ujysets, ogwal-sbi alte, 

 te-itl stobsb ; I hide it, o-chad-sbis chid, where it is interpolated. This, however, 

 may bo a demonstrative pronoun. Sha, shal ajipear generally to follow the verb, 

 though not as copulatives; e.g., Doyou Icnow (him) that man ? a-said-bu-chu shal te-il 

 stobsb? I Icnow him, a-said'-huchid sha'. He is -here, at-sud-.sha'. In the same 

 manner, it (q. v.) is expressed by sas and sa-bwas. ]\fy husband is good-natured, 

 klob-ob-klOb shul-ta-ded s'chest-hu. Here shul-ta did is compounded of shal, he; 

 ta, a particle, signifying that the one spoken of is present, and de'-a-de, ^'wsf there, 

 as across the room. Witb tbese last appear to come hal aud balgwa; e. g., that 

 horse is not bad (a bad one), hal sti-ake'yu hwe' la pat'-latl ; she Ules you, ball to- 

 bet'sid balgwa'. Tbe plurals of balgwa' will be found under " They''', and it may 

 be conjectured that tbe final syllable is an abbreviation of gwad, who. Tbe demon- 

 strative pronouns often take the place of the personal, as will be seen under " This"", 

 ''That". See also "/r'.
