to the verb as a suffix ; the p is suffixed to words to indícate the 
masculino : ithchi, ilion a woman ; ithchi-p , thou a man ; at- 
tached to the interrogativo pronoun the p is seen as masculino and 
the k as feminine, e.g. sáp-taha (mase.), sák-taha (íem ), what did 
yon say ? sáp-mahak (mase.), sák-mahak (fem.) where ? what 
direetion ? Cf. Chor. tem pa thle ? what is the ñame of 1 tem pa 
ihi ? where ? Vej. chi wo thle ? what is the ñame of ? chi pi ihi ? 
where ? 
As a reflexivo p is used thus : Chor. P-a, be seated ; P-a, strike 
thyself. Vej. P-apha, be seated ; Háp-am, thou thyself. 
L.-M. i-tikpáng-ap, strike thyself (mase.) ; indicativo, tikpáng- 
akpo ; ká-tikpáng -ithchi, strike thyself (fém.) ; indicative : tik- 
páng-athko. 
As a genitivo in Quechua the p may be compared to the Choroti 
use above, and the L.-M. affix ap, e.g. Q. Hacha-p-runa , monkey, 
i.e. wood its man ; L.-M. enthlit áp-to, man his food. Ku is 
reciprocal and pu is against one’s wish, in Quechua, e.g. muna-ku, 
to love oneself ; muna-pu , to love against one’s wish ; k is second 
person ( Kam , thou) ; p is third person (Pay, he). 
P and pa are altérnate forms ; the Quechua genitivo pa fol- 
lows a eonsonant. p follows a vowel ; in Choroti p precedes a 
vowcl (p-iñat, water), and pa precedes a eonsonant (pa kyuni, the 
tiger). This addition of the vowel is intended to give balance to 
the sentence, e.g. Toba, Dapik a lapa, the bee its wax ; L.-M. 
Aptahak a siyanea, he said to me, commanding. 
P, position : (1) above, on, over, from above ; (2) again, against, 
back. Nata-pe, above, on, over ; am-pehe, put above, on ; hina- 
pha, press upon ; opihi , crouch ; topisha, stumble ; ape, return, go 
back; napini, behind ; yiha-pe , rest; yape-wapa, do tibie up arm. 
Paj-hi, bitter ; V. pai ; S. tuphai. 
Palnat, tongue ; (? pa, mouth ; linat, instrument) ; V. kaj-thlichu 
(kaj, mouth) ; Q. cca-llu ; S. chák-lich ; T. pl. chák-ate ; sing., 
chrat or chágát ; L.-M. áth-kuk. ■ Pa and ka are both connected 
with the mouth and lips, and often merge one into the other ; 
compare, e.g. Q. si-mi, mouth ; M. su-mu , upper lip ; V. kaj, 
mouth ; T. Ka, chin ; Ak, lower líp ; Ap, mouth ; L.-M. PA, 
important root of volee, speak, etc. ; M. ha-ka and pa-ho, mouth ; 
V., S. and CH. Pa-set, lips ; Pase, beard ; Kat, Huse, kaat-shi, 
lower lip ; S. ashi, mouth.
