Keflesive, intensive or repeated action is expressed by reduplica- 
tion. Biit since pronimeiation demands that the double-word should 
approach a monosyUable in sound the first half is modified and 
shortened while the second is emphasised and accented — e,g, ; 
iok, to fiJLtract ; VMuk, torn out, up-rooted ; 
8ulc^ torch ; a^Jisitk^ illuminated (by many torches) ; 
cMpt walk ; chichif, walk about, promenade \ 
ptq^t warm ; pi'ipiUp, to keep warm, to warm oneself ; 
jar^ run ; jirjar, to run about. 
So much for the principal prefixes and infixes. We now come to the 
finals. 
In certain cases the final letter of a Sakai word changes to w, ng^ 
or »i. Sometimes this follows a law of euphony owing to the coin- 
cidence of two consonants — e.g. : 
cAip, bird ; ch(m-M*tl\ hawk, eagle t 
kldkf hawk ; kldng-htok, roc, gartida ; 
cherdh, long, high ; ch^mg-Boh, long-haired one, yampire. 
But there are cases where the altemtion cannot be so explained — e.q. : 
mai, person ; mi mam^ one person ; 
^h, house ; nu d'ngmn, a house ; 
rok, dart; nar r'nijimi, two darts. 
I could find no rule as to this.
