658 REPORT—1890. 
may take any of the noun suffixes (see p. 665), The Rev. A. J. Hall has given a 
few classes in the Kwakiutl dialect on pp. 68 and 69 of his grammar. Hereareafew 
classes taken from the Héiltsuk: dialect :

It appears from these examples that the number of classes is unlimited. They 
are simply compounds of numerals and the noun-suffixes.

PRONOUN. 
PERSONAL PRONOUN. 
The personal pronoun in the Kwakiutl dialect is very difficult to understand. 
There are two forms, but I cannot explain their separate use. It seems that only 
one form occurs in the Héiltsuk: dialect: 
K. K H. 
i no'gua, yin. me, gyd/qEn. no' gua. 
thou, 8o', yutl. thee, sdt. hqso. 
he, — — 
we (incl.), »d’guants, yints. us, gya'qents. nogua'nts. 
we (excl.), nd'guanugq, yi/nuq. us, gya'qEnuq. nogua'nths. 
you, sdqdda'q, yiedaqo'tl, h:acksoa' ea. 
It is remarkable that while in Héiltsuk: the plural of the second person is formed 
by reduplication, in the Kwakiutl dialect, the suftix -ddq is used for this purpose. We 
shall see later on that the same difference is found in the inflection of the verb. It 
seems that the stem of the second person is sd. I have not given the third persons, 
as they seem to be rather demonstrative pronouns. 
In order to explain the use of the two separate forms in the Kwakiutl dialect I 
give a series of examples: 
it is I, ndguazm. 
I? yin ? (in reply to, They say you stole it, 
also to the question, Who shall do it ?) 
I, nd’gua (in answer to the ques- 
tion, Who is going to do it ?) I, yin (Shall he do it? No, I).
