We need not now give particular attention to prefixes and suffixes 
beyond the mere listing of their occurrence. They appear to be gov- 
erned by rules sufficiently familiar in the science of speech. The infixes, 
however, are worth all the study which we can put upon them in this 
place, for the use of infixes is not only a distinctive character of Indo- 
nesian languages, but is a diagnostic and critical character. 
In the material which we have here collated it 1s clear, upon the 
first inspection, that the infix is almost always applied to the initial 
syllable of the word-stem.* But four exceptions are noted and it will 
be proper to submit these exceptional uses to examination before 
advancing upon the general theme. The instance of log-al-in offers 
no explanation. 
We find variant forms of one stem, guimukud and guimud; super- 
ficially this appears an infixature, guim—uk-ud. ‘The two forms are 
*From Dr. Seidenadel’s Language of the Bontoc Igorot I extract the following memo- 
randa upon the structural use of infixature, the references being to the sections of his essay 
on the grammar: 
68. The part of the body which is wounded, hit, struck, etc., is expressed by the infix 
-—in— placed into the reduplication of substantives with initial consonants; to those with an 
initial vowel im- is prefixed and the initial vowel is doubled. 
119. Progressive quality, or transition of a quality into a higher degree, is expressed 
by adding to these verbalized forms the particle wm as prefix before an initial vowel; but 
as infix if the adjective begins with a consonant. As infix —uwm-— is placed between the initial 
consonant and the first vowel. 
170. Um- is used exclusively with personal verbs. Um- is prefixed to initial vowels; 
if there is an initial consonant —wm-— enters the root and takes its place between the initial 
consonant and the vowel of the first syllable. 
231. But —in— is infixed, or placed between the initial consonant and the following vowel 
of verbs beginning with a consonant.
