Keflexive Pbonouns, 



nomot, self. 



tcin-k-dk-numOt, I struck myself. 



nE-k-ok--»iOT«wi, he „ himself.

Demoksteative Pbonouns. 



tE (masc), the. tlB (fern.), the. 



ti, this, that. tsi or e'tsi, these, those. 



In Sk-qO'mic there is no difference between ' this ' and ' that,' these ' and ' those,' 

 as in N'tlaka'pamuQ. 



hatl ti lam, that or this house is good. 



ti ua lam hatl, this or that is a good house. 



haha'tl e'tsi sIwe'Eka, these or those men are good. 



Dr. Boas has recorded the form nltl as ' this,' nitl or netl, as I write it, is a com- 

 pound term, and signifies ' it is ' or ' this is,' or ' that is,' ne being a form of the 

 verbum substantimim. He has also recorded in his short vocabulary of the Sk-qo'mic 

 in the Sixth Eeport on the North-Western Tribes of Canada, 1890, masculine and 

 feminine forms for 'that,' to' nltl (masc), qu'nltl (fern.). I have been unable to dis- 

 cover these myself in the Sk-qo'mic. 



NUMERALS. 



Cardinals. 



Of these there are several classes as in N'tlaka'pamuQ, but they are differently 

 formed. The common cardinal numbers are : — 



1. 'ntco The 'teens ' follow regularly. 



2. a'nos 20. Qotltc 



3. tca'nit 21. „ Ikwi 'ntco 



4. qau'EtsEn The others follow regularly. 



5. tse'atcis 30. sau'quaca, tlo'qca 



6. t'a'qatc 40. qau'EtsEnca 



7. t'a'qosatc 60. suk-tca'ca, tlu'k-ca 



8. t'qatc GO. taqmu'tlca 



9. tssEs 70. tsuko'lca 



10. o'pEn 80. t'ku'tcica 



11. o'pEn ikwl 'ntco 90. tssaw'itc 

 12 a'nos 100. natcawitc 



Okdinals. 



With the exception of ' first ' and ' last ' the ordinals do not in Sk-qo'mic differ in 

 form from the cardinals. For ' first ' they say yawu'n, and for ' last ' they use the 

 term aaut or avt. 



Class Numerals, 



The following forms are employed when counting houses though not exclusively 

 so ; and it would appear that the younger people use the independent forms as often 

 as the composite. 



1 house na'tcatuQ. 



2 houses samptuQ (a shortened form of sampautuQ). 



3 „ tcanautuQ. 



4 „ qauEtsenautuQ.
