Yesterday, to-datl-dat', ash-tut-lakb. The lirst of these names is derived, lilje no-liwutl- 

 da-to, tomorroiv, if not from the word klo-kwatl, the sun, at least from the same 

 root, with the past particle "to" prefixed ; the second is from the adverb ash-to, 

 denoting also past time, and hlkh, light. As heretofore remarked, under the word 

 to-morroiv, there is little practical distinction in common speech between the two, 

 except by the connection, and so of an equal number of days past or to come ; the, 

 to us obvious, meaning of the words being lost sight of. Bay before yesterday or 

 day after to morrow, todi-atl-dat. Three days ago or to come, tu-sle-hwatl-dat. Four 

 days ago or to come, bos-atl-dat. Fire days ago or to come, tslets-atl-dat. On the 

 third day, alsle'-hwatl-dat. At-lahu appears as the suflix of most of the digits, 

 converting them into numeral adverbs, q. v.; as, kle-hwat-)a-hu, three times, &c., 

 and the same idea is conveyed here. It signifies times, as of repetition or recur- 

 rence. See also under '■'•Future prefix'". 



You (sing.), thou (absolute), dug-we. Like at'-sa, it is very rarely used as a nominative, 

 its place being supplied by the copulative. lam angry tcith i/om, o-het-sil-cbid 

 hwul dng-we. She is tvell disposed towards you, k'sits twul dug-we [she is iiith you) 

 Do you give it ? ab-shits te dug'-we? Come, let me speak with yott, at'-la, hot-hot- 

 chid twul dug-we. 



(Nominative.) — Kats, kat-si, kat-su. These bear the same relation to dug-we 

 that kets, &c., do to at'-sa. Where did you find the man ? chad kats aid-hwii ki 

 stobsh? Where did you get it? chad kats bwe'-wi? Where are you going f chad 

 katsokh'? What will you pay ? stab kats but-sits? What do you say f stab kats 

 hot-hot? What did you find? stab k'ais-et-hwu (by elision). In an example given 

 above, k'sits twul dug-we, k'sits appears to be the feminine. Why are you angry? 

 wo-hed kat-su bet-sil! Are yoji a chief that you taUc tome? si-ab-chu-hu kat-su 

 hot-hot hwul at'-sa? By what road did you come? chad shug-w'll ka-tsi hwutl? 

 What are you doing ? stab kat-si ai-ytls. (Duplicated), why do you do so ? o-hed 

 kat-su kot-su ho'-yut. Another form, which is not so clearly detined, is, to-bet-sid. 

 I show 2/ojt, o-labthu-bet-sidshid, where the copulative pronoun chid, 7, follows 

 this as an accusative. She lil-es you, hatl-to-bet-sid hal-gwa. A form used in 

 calling the attention of a person, equi\ alent to "Tom there^\ is, do-te', when ap[)lied 

 to a man ; do-tsi, if to a woman. These appear to be proper pronouns, and not 

 merely inteijections. 



(Co[)ulative.) — Cliu, chu-hu,chiikh,cho-ho,shu she-hu. Like chid, J, copulative, 

 it is used only as a suflix, and is referred in like manner to a preceding adverb or 

 other word relating to the verb. Ah! yoiCve arrived, a-hSi\ o-tlut-chil-chu. You 

 eat, atl-do'-chu. Come [and] sit, at'-la-cho-ho gwud-del. Bo you understand ? as- 

 kla'-bOt-chukh-hwu ? or as-ti-kwa'-dit-chu-hu. You see, sla-la-bit' she-hu' {or shu). 

 Go and bring (good you bring), klob-chu-hu o-okhts-chu-hu (here the pronoun is 

 duplicated). I'oit are /bo^is/i, as-hwul-ku chu. Who are you? gwat-chu? Presently 

 you will find, dai-chu klo-ed-hwu. Go jiresently, dai-chu klo-okh telh'ye. 



You (plur., absolute and nominative), gul-lapo, gwul-la'-po. You ivorh, gul-la'-po- 

 o-yai'-us. Bo you hear? gul-la'-po as-kla'-bot"? I have icon a bet of you, o-tsal-tuh 

 wo-tlet-shid gwul-la'-po. Presently you men icill siveat, hwe-la-lil' o-kwul-kwul gwul 

 la'-po sto-to'-bsh. 



(Copulative.) — Chil-lup'-o, chil-lub', shel'-a-pu, sbil-lip, &c. You see, sla-la-bit-
