lia rE 111' gun, we were sick. te sU', a short time ago.

sick. d.dij wu stanen, it was raining. 



I wu tli tsengE ? are you strong ? has wu to sete'n, we see them. 



In the great majority of cases in which wu is used the state (or action ?) expressed 

 by the verb is still incomplete, not yet or not longer existing, or existing at a distance. 

 Thus it would appear that the particle wu denotes the ' noi actually being.' It seems 

 doubtful whether the wu of the last example can be classed with the rest. It is 

 remarkable that this particle appears very frequently combined with others, especially 

 so with ti and tli. 



ye ye q sine, I have done it. 



John ye s'ak ku wat, John is tall (John is bone-long). 

 ye qat s'aJr ku nvitl, I am small (I am bone-short). 

 ye qat ku tla', I am stout.
