forms are not quite the same in some cases, but a common principle is seen to run 

 throughout all the dialects : — 



MakwEtl-Z:«K«-tsEn, I hurt my nose. Cf. the independent form mu'lisEn. 



MakwEtl-fZZ/JX-tsEn, I hurt my eye. Cf. the terms for riffht and left eye. 



MakwEtl-Es-tsBn, I hurt my face. Cf. this with N'tlaka'pamuQ independent 

 term, of which it is an abbreviated form. 



MakwEtl-tcis-tsEii, I hart my finger or hand. This is the common incorporative 

 form seen in all ' hand ' syntheses. 



MakwEtl-Hen-tsEn, I hurt my foot. Common form for ' foot ' syntheses. 



MakwEtl-tlina-tsEn. I hurt my ear. Cf. with tlanl, the independent term for 

 ' ear' in N'tlaka'pamuQ. 



JIakwEtl-EwEts or EwEtl-tsEn, I hurt my back. This is an abbreviated form of 

 the independent sliiliEWEtl = back. 



It will be seen that the incorporative nouns in this dialect, though the syntheses 

 are differentl}' formed, are much the same as in the other dialects examined. Some 

 are abbreviations of the independent form of the same word, others are from 

 synonymous terms which are seen to be independent forms in other dialects. 



The ' teens ' all follow in like manner. 



The conjunction seen here is the commonest form in the Salish dialects for ' and ' ; 

 the other element tn is the definite article. 



Ordinals. 



1st. yu'iin. 6th. st'qu'ms. 



2nd. slsii'lEs. 7th. stsau'k's. 



3rd. stluQs. 8th. st'kai'tsES. 



4th. sEHiVsEns. !>tb. stuqs. 



nth. stlka'tcEs. 10th. sa'pEns 



It will be obseried that the ordinal numbers differ in Kwa'ntlEn from those found 

 in Tcil'Qe'uk, which are formed by cumbersome circumlocutions. Here, with the 

 exception of ' first,' the formative element .^ is added after the manner of forming 

 abstract nouns It differs, however, from the abstract noun in having s both prefixed 

 and suffixed. A comparison of the ordinal numbers in the different Salish dialects is 

 very interesting, scarcely any two agreeing in form. 



There are in Kwa'ntlEn a great number of class numerals. They are found 

 among the ordinals as well as among the cardinals. Thus we have : — 



yu'iin, the first man. sKQatle'lis, the fourth man 



siyii'sElis, the second man. stlkiitsii'lis, the fifth man. 



sQa'lis (?), the third man. sEpii'lis, the tenth man.

first part, tnE'tsamot. third part, tlu'QEmot. 



second part, yisu'lamo. fourth part, Hailsemot.
