In the following examples, I give the plural form as a 

 type of the inflectional stem: 



[cd — ark] (deq harpoon-strap, plur. arXit 



[ul — orX] qoriideq cabbage, plur. qoriorXit 



\a't — ат] qa'teq a ferrule, a ring, plur. qa'rqit 



[a'^n — а-=*гм] sa'^neq boue, plur. scv^rnit 



[an — аг;г] qaneq mouth, plur. qarnit

\im — orw] uneq armpit, plur. omit 



[a'W — a"°r] a'lveq walrus, plur. a'°r^it or (f^p'it 



[iw — er^] iliiveq a grave, plur. ilercpit

[up — o"'q-] tiipeq a tent, plur. to^q'it 



[im — егш] imeq water, lake, plur. ermit] nimeq band, 



plur. nermit 



There are also some few examples of such words, where 

 the stem ends in a back consonant: 



[г'д — Qp\ niqeq (SGr.) south wind, in the genitive nep-np 

 [(171 — ^P'^ hciTieq promontory, 3 pers. possessive hap-a 



There are some examples of words whose stem contains 

 an uvular; in these, accordingly, no qualitative change of the 

 vowel of the stem takes place, since it is already uvularized 

 beforehand : 



[ar — a'"g"] piaraq the young of an animal, plur. piarqat 



aqajaroq stomach, plur. aqajarqut 

 ■ niaqoq head, plur. niarqut ; ujarak stone, plur. ujarqat 

 [ет — e'2'] nie-raq child, plur. nwrqcd 

 [er — e^*] taleroq the forepaw of a seal, plur. talerqid 

 [or — 0^*] sioraq a grain of sand, plur. siorqat
