16. In the following tliree examples 
before initials k, t and y, the 
t or thl is used 
in the third 
person : 
ya-kat 
a-kat 
ta-kat 
si-kat

hi-tipot 
ha-tipot 
thla-tipot 
sa-tipot 
handkerchief 
e-yik 
a-yik 
ti-yik 
si-yik

Tipot is a derivative of po, to cover ; Ti-yik is simply a reduplica- 
tion of the vowel i, iik or y i Je. 
The h instead of y in hi-tipot is regular in its cliange, as is sy and sh 
in isyo or isho, hand, e.g. : 
ahitik ayitik my head 
ahine ayine man 
AH A (Chor.) A YA (Quechua) dead 
Before lea, and possibly before Jeo, eitlier the i or ta preíix can be 
used, but in every other case the ta or thla is only used as preíix to the 
vowel roots, e.g. ot, 3rd pers. tut (the chest), the i preíix is used before 
the other initial letters, excepting before what we might temí absoluto 
words, e.g. Taas (a pot), YA taas (my pot), THLA taas (bis or her pot), 
and derivatives of verbs as the word tipot above.
