THE KLAMATH INDIANS OF OREGON.
By ALBERT S. GATSOHET.
DICTIONARY OF THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE.
INTRODUCTION.
The present Dictionary, divided in two parts, contains the lexical por
tion of an Oregonian language never before reduced to writing. In view
of the numerous obstacles and difficulties encountered in the preparation of
such a work, a few hints upon its origin and tendencies will be of service
in directing the studies of those who wish to acquire a more intimate know-
ledge of this energetic and well developed western language.
The Klamath or Maéklaks language is spoken in two dialects, that of
the Klamath Lake Indians, or E-ukshikni, and that of the Modocs. No
obstacle prevented the gathering of the terms of both dialects into one and
the same word-list, because the dialects differ but slightly, though more in
their lexical than in their grammatic forms. The difference is so slight
that the people of both chieftaincies understand each other readily in con-
versing about common subjects, and the few terms of which they fail to
have a mutual understanding are entered below as belonging to only one
of the two divisions of the Maklaks people. Generally speaking, the north-
ern or E-ukshikni dialect has, where differences exist, preserved its words in
a more original, archaic and uncontracted form, while the southern or Modoc
dialect is apt to exhibit contractions and elisions instead, as well as other
phonetic processes which tend to show a more advanced stage of linguistic
decay. This dialect has also incorporated more foreign terms borrowed
from English, Shasti, etc. than the northern dialect.
2 INTRODUCTION TO THE DICTIONARY.
But aside from these minor discrepancies of speech, it would be wrong
to suppose that the language of the Klamath Lake Indians, or that of the
Modoc Indians is entirely homogeneous within itself. Every class or cluster,
band or settlement of Indians has a few terms peculiar to itself, or some
words used in other acceptations than observed among its neighbors; one
band may use a derivative of some radix or base in a certain sense, and
the nearest settlement may use another derivative of the same origin in-
stead, or pronounce it in a different manner. Should, therefore, a traveler
passing through the uplands bordering the lakes of the Klamath River
basin not be able to identify at once some of the words given below,
this would by no means prove that such words do or did not exist in the
language. Besides the terms extracted from the foregoing Texts, there is
perhaps not a single word in this voluminous Dictionary that has not been
repeatedly verified through Indian informants, and what could not stand
this test has been scrupulously eliminated.
Narratives and other texts, correctly worded, yield the most important
con‘ributions to a word-collector, and are in every way preferable to the
gatnering of disconnected terms from an unknown language. I have there-
fore availed myself fully of the lexical treasures stored up in the historic,
ethnologic and poetic specimens obtained from the natives; but, since their
interlinear translation cannot, in the narrow space allotted, give in every
instance the full import of a term or phrase, a thorough understanding of
my Klamath Texts, especially of the songs, implies the unremitting use of
the Dictionary. To illustrate clearly and thoroughly the special functions
of words, passages from the Texts contained in Part First of this work
are adduced as evidence, with their quotation numbers giving the page
and Jine where they occur. Quotation figures separated by commas refer
to the Texts in prose; figures separated by semicolons, to the Poetic Texts.
The Notes explaining portions of the Texts will, in many instances, supple-
ment the definitions of the words as given in the Dictionary.
Before tracing the plan followed in composing this Dictionary, a re-
mark of a more general import may be inserted to illustrate the phonetic
character of the language.
The fact that languages of rude and primitive tribes are built up
PHONETIC SIDE OF INDIAN SPEECH. 3
more regularly and often show a closer observance of logical principles
than those of peoples of ancient civilization has often been pointed out, and,
so far as it relates to the contrast between inflective and agglutinative lan-
guages, can no longer be doubted. Agglutinative tongues are spoken by
most of the savage races, and, as to their morphology, show more regularity
in their inflections, because the affixes are not so much altered and ground
down by phonetic wear and tear as the affixes of inflective languages. - This
is because in the former languages the mental force binding and fusing the
affixes to the root has acted less powerfully than in the latter. The natives
still retain in their minds the original meaning of each verbal or nominal affix,
whereas this remembrance has been long since obliterated among the indi-
viduals speaking inflective tongues; and the regularity of inflections natu-
rally results in the other group from the indiscriminate addition of these
to each root or base of the language. A language rich in grammatic forms
is nsually simple in its syntax.
But in their phonology most agglutinative languages do not show the
regularity observed in their grammatic forms. Physical agencies, hidden as
yet from our mental eye, produce alternations of the sounds pronounced with
the same organ of the vocal tube, which in some of the languages are profuse,
in others less numerous. In most North American languages we notice the
interchangeability of the surd and the sonant explosives, of the sounds of
the labial, lingual, etc. series, of 0 and uw, of d@ and e, and in the language
of the Méklaks the alternation of sounds, of which a table is given below,
plays a very prominent part. When a word is pronounced in six or more
different ways, as in this language, it evidently should not appear so often
in the Dictionary, but on the other hand it would be most unscientific to
apply a preconcerted, uniform phonetic representative to each of these
words. This rule has often been adopted in the notation of other Ameri-
can languages, all terms with initial labial (b, p, m, v, w) having, for
instance, been written either with b or m. I have in the Dictionary pre-
ferred the method of placing at the head of each item that phonetic form of
the word which is most frequently heard, and of subjoining to it the other, or
a few of the other phonetic forms, the order in which they follow suggesting
the order of their frequency.
4 INTRODUCTION TO THE DICTIONARY.
This method is applicable to the preparation of a dictionary; but in
writing texts of the language, every word and sound must be laid down as
it flows from the lips of the native informant, pure and unaltered. In these
languages, every sound of the current speech is, or may be, significant ;
unchanged by imaginary phonetic rules derived from the study of léerary
languages, every word and syllable should be, as it were, photographed
with its peculiar short, long and duplex, clear and obscure vowels, drawl-
ings and stops of the voice, noises and clangs. The law of accentuation, as
observed in the language of the Méklaks, sustains this principle in a singular
manner; for in this western tongue accentuation is much more a syntactic
than a morphologic feature, the position of the accent being very generally
determined by the run of the sentence. There are but a few polysyllabic
words that never shift their accent.
One of the manifold consequences of following fanciful phonetic rules,
often engendered by the desire of using as few types as possible, is the
arbitrary suppression in literary publications of sounds existing in a lan-
euage. Thus the Mohawk dialect of Iroquois is represented to have twelve
or thirteen sounds only, while in reality it has no less than twenty-six.
Indian texts can convey their full meaning only by accurate phonetic
transcription ; and when they pass down to posterity in this shape, as a
true and faithful monument of the tribe who produced them, others may
discover phonetic or other laws of the language which our studies have failed
to reveal to our own understanding.
After the absolute form of the word, the Dictionary gives in the majority
of cases its distributive form, derived from it by what is called distributive
reduplication. When the various phonetic modes of forming the distribu-
tive from the absolute form have been studied attentively in the Grammar,
the absolute form will readily suggest itself when looked for in the Diction-
ary, though in some of the more difficult cases indications are given to help
the reader in his search. Many nomina actoris and other terms occur in the
distributive form alone, or are more frequent in this than in the absolute
form.
The definitions are presented in their etymologic order, which is the
order of their historic evolution. It is true that in many instances the form
uy

or function of the radix is unknown, and then the meanings are presented in
the order which seemed most plausible. Wherever it could be done, the
radix or base of a derivative is pointed out (except when it is contained in
the item just preceding), and comparisons of an etymologic or synonymic
import are added at the end of the item, to aid further research.
The proper names found in the language, personal and local, were
gathered with special care on account of their linguistic importance, and
inserted into the Dictionary. Those among their number which can no
longer be explained by the existing words of the language are likely to
contain archaic forms, and archaic forms belong to the most valuable ma-
terials of which grammarians can avail themselves. American names given
to Indian men and women were inserted into the Dictionary, but names of
Americans were excluded from it, though mention is made of them in the
Texts.
Animal and plant names are mostly derivatives, and the difficulty ex-
perienced in analyzing them etymologically proves their high antiquity.
A large amount of both were furnished by the informants, though I was
often left in the dark concerning their accurate equivalents in the English
language. Many bird names have an onomatopoetic origin, and many
beasts, especially those pursued by hunters, have several names, varying
according to the color shade of their peltry as altered by the seasons, or
possessed of one real name and various attributes or poetic epithets. Of a
few animals the male bears another name than the female; of a few aliment-
ary plants the eatable portion another than the stalk or tree. I took down
as many characteristics of these nameless waifs of the Klamath fauna and
flora from the Indians as they could recollect, and on returning to Wash-
ington submitted the notes on the animals to H. CO. Yarrow, M. D., and
to Mr. H. W. Henshaw, the well-known ornithologist ; on the plants, to Mr.
Lester Ward, and Dr. George Vasey, botanist of the U. 8. Agricultural
Department, these gentlemen having personally observed these objects
during their extensive travels in the great interior Basin and on the
Western Slope. The scientific names given in the Dictionary rest on
their identification, and where the species could not possibly be identified,
the name of the genus at least was entered in following their suggestions.

INTRODUCTION TO THE DICTIONARY.
It is proper to state here that the ancient Modoc country on Lost River
and vicinity has a milder climate than the settlements of the Klamath
Lake people on Upper Klamath Lake, and that on this account the former
country yields somewhat different and more abundant natural products
than the latter.

% as in zeal, zone, frozen; German, Hase; French, zéle, rose.
The English x is rendered by gs or ks, the German z by ds or ts, all
being compound articulations. The two points on a, 0, u (d, 6, %) are not
signs of divresis; they mark softened vowels.
The pronunciation of the diphthongs may be easily inferred from their
component vowels; it is as follows:
ai as in life, mine, sly, die, dye.
au as in loud, mouse, arouse.
ei a combination of e and 7 resembling the vowel sounds in
the word greyish, united into a diphthong.
yu or iu as in pure, few, union.
ol as in loin, groin, alloy.
wa or ua as in watch, wash; French, oie, loi, roi.
Wi or ui as in squid, win, switch.
All the diphthongs being of an adulterine character, they can generally
be separated into two vowels, and then are hyphenized, as in i-u, 0-i,
d-t, a-t.
GRAPHIC SIGNS.
2 arrested sound: ské2hs, spring time; tchiizka, to swim up stream.
apostrophe marking elision of a vowel, of & or any other sound :
heshudmp’li for heshudmpéli, to recover one’s health.
- hiatus, separating two vowels as belonging to two different
syllables: padla-ash, flowr ; lémé-ish, thunder ; or two consonants:
tsiiils-hii’mi, at salmon-time.
LIST OF ALTERNATING SOUNDS. 9

vowel pronounced long: mini, large, great; tchileks, meat.
vowel pronounced short, except 6, to which a distinct sound is
given: yumialtka, to return from berry-harvest.

10 INTRODUCTION TO THE DICTIONARY.
The sounds d and t were kept strictly distinct from the palatals dsh
and tch throughout the series of words in which they occur, but words
containing the sounds m and n were left intermingled with those containing
ny and the nasalized explosives mb, mp, nd, ng, nk, nk, nt, of which they
form components.
V occurs only in the combination vu. Words with initial wu- are all
entered under vu-.
See remarks on the diphthongs, Texts, page 12.
Forms included in parenthesis (—) are very unfrequently met with.
The simple sounds susceptible of gemination are as follows: the
vowels a, e, i, 0, u; the consonants g, h, k, 1, m, n, p, s, t.
From the alternating list of sounds and the rules submitted the finding
of a Klamath word in the Dictionary will not, after a few hours of practice,
meet with any difficulties. I subjoin a list of instances, which will prove
useful to beginners, and have italicized the most frequent form of the word
as the one occupying the first or only place in the list of words.
Gé-uni can be pronounced ké-uni, kii’-tini, yii’-uni, gii’-uni, and will be
found under ké-wni.
Nyzilla can be pronounced ki’la, ki’la, killa, killa, nzi’‘la, and will be
found under &i/a, though in this special instance it is difficult to state which
is the pronunciation most frequently resorted to.
The term tamno can be pronounced tam’nu, daméniti, taménti, and
will be found under téméni. Other instances are:
hualtoks, hudltaks, waltaks, wdltoks.

DICTIONARY OF THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE.
KLAMATH—ENGLISH.
TaN,
A, when beginning a word, is usually pronounced clear, as in barge, large ;
a
it alternates at times, when in the middle of or at the end of words, with d,
e and other vowels. This vowel is a component of many radical syllables,
as observed in paha, taménu, taktakli, and when serving as a prefix is in-
dicative of one long-shaped article; cf. adshdga, atchiga, 4tpa; before a
nasalized consonant in 4mda, 4nku.
the enclitic particle of the declarative mode of the Klamath verb; it is
appended to every verbal base not ending in another vowel or in -l, -n, as
ktana to sleep; latcha to build a house. It then becomes frequently em-
phasized, especially in such verbs as indicate locomotion, removal, travel
ete.: guka, guka to climb up; médsha, medsha to emigrate; nita, nuta to
set on fire, 89, 2. A occurs also often as a separate word, more frequently
so in the KI]. than in the Mod. dialect, and then is usually placed before
the verb: Titak a latcha Titak is building a house. It is not easily trans-
latable in English, but indicates very frequently custom or habit, as will
be seen by the following instances: Spfi’klish a sha shf’‘ta kud-utch they
construct sweat-lodges from willows, 82, 2; tatataks a hishuaksh tchiména
whenever a husband became a widower, 82, 4; tii’muk a hi’ntsna hungry I
Sly around, 177; 21; pap an a ni sha’shatk; nti a gatpa pii’p I am called
the marten; I, the marten, am coming, 177; 10. Cf. 82, 6, 8. 12.; 84, 1.;
87, 4. 10.; 88, 4. In historic narrative a is almost as frequent; cf. 22,
19. 24, 21. 29, 21. 64, 9. 68, 4. 70, 9. 120, 11. 140, 2. 5. 6.11. (an for
anti); 141, 3.5. When coalescing with other words than verbs, it often
changes into & or 6: Aténen for at a nen, 23, 5.; tankté nat for tankt a
nat; tataténat for tat at a nat, 24, 19.; Aténish, 4téni, 90, 12. 13. and
Note to 138, 6. 7.; or it becomes emphasized: tata for tat 4, tat ha (this
is also interrogative) ; tatatuk; aka, aka, for ak a, ak ha, ak ha; und for
una 4; tidsha, 189; 5.

Aishish, Afsis, nom. pr. of Aéshish, in whom some natural powers were
deified in masculine shape by the Maklaks. He is reputed to be the son
of the creator and ruler of the world and mankind, the tricky K’mikamtch:
94, 8. 9., 95, 20 He has five wives, whose names are given 99, 9. 10.:
Tuhash, Stékua, Kli’tish, Wii’ks, Tsi’ka; four of these are the names of
birds, and three among them of water-fowls. He associates with men
(maklaks), gambles with them, 99, 2-8; and rivalizes with them success-
fully when shooting at the mark, as reported in his “‘shashapkéléash” or
myth: 99, 4. 100, 20. To judge of his mythologic character correctly,
it is important to observe that when he kindled his camp-fire the flames
were purple-blue, while those of Silver Fox, K’mikamtch’s companion,
were yellow, and K’mtkamtch’s own fire emitted smoke only, 99, 3. 4.
His father attempts to destroy him by inducing him to climb a pine-tree to
obtain an eagle’s nest: 100, 1 sqq., 94, 8 sqq. Famished and almost dead,

he is finally rescued by two butterflies, 95, 13-22., 101, 7-21. K’mit-
kamtch had seduced one of his wives and attempted to seduce the others;
Afshish therefore revenges himself on him by causing his son to throw
his (K’mukamtch’s) tobacco-pipe into the fire; the death of K’mikamtch
was the immediate consequence of this act: 96, 10-18. When K’mi-
kamtch had returned to life, he attempted to wipe out Afsis and his entire
family by a general conflagration of the country, 96, 19—97, 2. The
Klamath folklore ascribes personal beauty to this deity. Two Aishish-
songs were obtained from a Modoc, 193; 10.11. and Note. Der. afshi.

country on the California border, Lost River etc., with the other half:
36, 3-8. ‘The first active measures taken by the Government to bring
back the runaway Modoes of Kintpuash to the Klamath reservation from
the lands which they had ceded and sold, ended in a massacre of Indian
women, children, and defenseless whites, and thus gave rise to the Modoc
war: 37, 3-19. Kintpuash with his warriors and their families retreated
to the lava beds, an inaccessible tract of land impregnable by mere
assault, set up his “headquarters” in Wright’s cave, and resisted all
attempts of the American troops to carry his position from January 16
to the bombardment of the lava beds, April 16-18, 1873: 42, 18-43, 2.
The progress of the war, which up to April had been exceedingly slow
and meager in results, became more active only on account of the assas-
sination of two of the Peace Commissioners, a dastardly act in which
Kintpuash had played the most prominent part: 42, 1-17. After leaving
the “rocky cave” and the lava beds, K. with his warriors resisted for a
while successfully the regular troops in the engagements on Sand Hill, 43,
6-12, and Dry Lake (or Grass Lake), 43, 13-16. But finally the Indians
separated and this ended the Modoc campaign. K was captured June
1, and with five others tried in Fort Klamath, and hung October 3,
1873. In our texts K. is mentioned as Captain Jack, or as: laki,

These ‘‘medicine-men” do not only treat the sick, but they arrange
and preside over the ‘‘doctor-dances” in the communal dance-house, are
consulted for dreams, predict the weather, during the pond-lily harvest
give advice on the more important incidents of tribal pursuits, and are
much dreaded on account of their alleged power of sorcery. They are
called kiuks, because they stick out a rabbit skin or some other sign on
a rod slanting obliquely over their lodges (kiukéya). It is estimated that

“kamtch, the creator and supreme ruler of the world and of mankind in the
mythology of the Modocs and Klamath Lake Indians. His name means:
“the Old Man of the forefathers”, or “‘the primeval Old Man”. In him the
natives have deified the most powerful agency of nature known to them,
the sun. As the supreme deity of a hunting race, he is invested with all
the attributes of certain animals pursued by the Indian hunter: sagacity,
cunning
g, recklessness, gigantic power etc. He also appears under the
mask of the sagacious marten (Skélamtch), 107, 1. 3., and as such he is
the elder brother of Little Weasel (T'chashgayak), whom he is sending out
from Yamsi, his temporary residence, to obtain one-eyed wives for both,
107, 1-4. 109, 3. 4. K. creates the earth, 104, 4. 125, 1. 142, 1., and
gives names to all the localities made by him in the Klamath country,
142,1sqq. He creates the human beings, 94, 1. 2.; the races and tribes
of men, 103, 1-5. 148, 2—4.; all things upon the earth and the fish in the
water, 94, 3-4. In concert with him some animals determine the duration
of human life, 108, 6-104, 5. He saves the child of a mother who is in
the act of leaping into the fire to destroy herself, and hides it in his leg;
from there it is afterwards born miraculously and called his son, Aishish.
During the incessant persecutions of Afshish (q. v.), K. shows himself as
a tricky, treacherous, and low character, as a typical beast-god. In the
same light he appears in his dealings with the inother-coyote, 105, 3-16.,
cf. 182, 1-8. He revenges himself upon the Northwind (Yaémshamtch)
and the Southwind (Mitash, Ma’shamtch) for the killing of his younger
brother, by cutting off their heads, a myth describing the final victory of
the warming rays of the sun over the rough blasts of the wintry season,
111, 4-11. The extermination of the five Thunders and the two Old
Thunders is the symbolization of another meteorologic process, 113,
13-114, 12. From several of our Texts it becomes apparent that in the
popular belief K. is not alone regarded as an unapproachable, terrific and
demoniac power, but, like the devil of medieval Europe, has begun to
assume a grotesque and popularly comical character: pp. 105, 125, 126.
Being merely a power of nature and not a moral power, the Indians do
not pray to him, but worship him in their dances (yékish) only. ‘Two
Modoe songs describe his unlimited power over the earth and mankind,

is either pronounced ké-, k’-, or is followed by a vowel Terms with initial

Be
T alternates with d, sometimes with wt, nd; cf. Introductory words to the
letters D and N. Words beginning with tch, ts were gathered under a
separate heading. ‘The prefix ta- refers to persons or to long-shaped things
standing upright, and usually occurs in some abbreviated form: te-, té-, t’-, t-.
The initial syllables ti-, tin- and tush- form verbs with the signification of
running, moving fast, when more than one subject is spoken of, and are not
prefixes, but radical syllables. To some verbs with the radical ti- this does
not apply. Words with initial tg-, tk-, tk, tz- generally express the idea
of one subject standing upright.

particle tala then. Cf. tala (5). Quot. under hin, shepkédsha, wak.

port, conveying the idea of contrast; it is appended to all parts of speech,

ing in the principal clause of a sentence it often indicates the future
tense, when appended to a verb: tatank itak shéwanash haménian ish

with the particle un, tin, q. v.: hii i paltak, spulhitak sha mish tn 7 you
steal, they will lock you up; hii nish tn Béshtin laki tidsh shualaliampaktak,

River Indian. These Indians belong, like the Umpqua, to the Tinné
family of aborigines; they formerly inhabited the largest part of the
country drained by the Rogue River and its tributaries (Illinois River,
Applegate Creek ete.), and also held the coast of the Pacific Ocean be-
tween 41° 30 and 43° of latitude. They are sometimes called Tototen
or Tutatami after one of their tribes, which was settled at the mouth of
the Rogue River. When they had been subjugated during the long and
bloody Oregon war, the majority of this race and of their allies in war,
the Shasti Indians, were removed to the coast reservations, though many
still remain in their old haunts and fishing places. Dr. Hubbard, in an
article written in February 1856, before their removal and the cession of
their lands by treaty to the Government of the United States, fixed the
number of Rogue River tribes, each under a chief, at thirteen, and the
number of Indians at 1,205. Two episodes of their local quarrels with
the E-ukshikni are sketched in our Texts, pp. 16-18. A Rogue River
chief is mentioned, 16, 6. sqq. Der. Walamsh. Cf. Ampkokni, Sél-

DICTIONARY OF THE KLAMATH LANGUAGE.

INTRODUCTION.
The preparation of this second part of the Dictionary of the Klamath
Language has been a much more arduous task than would at first appear,
and therefore I add a few remarks supplementing those introductory to the
Klamath-English part of the Dictionary in order to set forth the principles
that guided me in my work.
To be of practical and scientific value, a manual of this kind should
be something more than a mere accumulation of the terms corresponding
in each language. When several Klamath terms correspond to one English
term the reader should be taught which expression must be used in one
acception of the term and which in another. This discrimination can be
made only after a careful examination, based upon practical use and
etymology, of the real signification of each term. By thus preventing as
much as possible the misapplication of terms in using the language, I have
tried to make a fair start toward a synonymy of the tongue which I now
introduce to the public. In cases of doubt, however, there must be a
reference to the word in Part First under which are given the manifold
practical applications of the term.
In the following pages the various Klamath terms corresponding to
one English term are introduced by synonymic and idiomatic English
expressions in italics, arranged alphabetically, unless, for some reason,
another arrangement was found to be desirable. In the case of verbs the
equivalents are enumerated in alphabetic order after the preposition accom.
495

panying the verb. Full information on the equivalents of certain English
nouns and verbs of wide and general signification can be obtained only by
looking up its synonyms; as, for example,
assist: to aid, help, cooperate.
bad: abject, mischievous, mean, wicked, wretched.
bring: to carry, fetch, haul, transport.
It will be observed that in the Klamath, as well as in many other un-
written languages, there are no single equivalents for such abstract English —
terms as the substantives hope, hurry, love, time, or for the verbs to cause, let,
prompt, but there are phrases, locutions, and compound terms by means of
which these ideas can be expressed with accuracy.
Compound English words are noticed only when they correspond to
simple Klamath terms. Phrases and sentences when wanting in this part of
the Dictionary will be found in the Klamath-English part. As to orthogra-
phy, accentuation, and pronunciation, the Klamath words are written pre-
cisely as in Part First, save in a very few instances where circumstances
seemed to make a change desirable. Where differences occur between the
two dialects, the Modoe term stands after that of the northern, or Klamath
Lake dialect.
Names of localities are usually identical in both English and Klamath;
therefore a few only—the more important ones—will be found in Part Sec-
ond. The meaning of many of the Klamath topographic names is involved
in obscurity. Of personal names, only those of well-known Indians are
recorded as such; others are inserted according to their ordinary significa-
tion, as, for instance, the name Hlékosh will be found under Jap, v. t.
The Klamath terms having the initial y-, which is interchangeable with
i-, iy-, are for convenience of reference inserted in Part First immediately
after those beginning in i-. In this part, however, the English y, as well as
tch, occupies its usual place in the alphabet.
Although many additions have suggested themselves, the author
deemed it preferable to restrict himself to the terms given in the Klamath-
English part. The majority of verbs, however, can form derivatives of an
inchoative meaning in -ldémpka, or -iéga, -¢ga, or completives in -dla, -vda, and
other forms, which students of this language will readily understand when
INTRODUCTION. - 497
conversing with the natives. They will also readily reconstruct the diminu-
tive form in nouns, when not met with in this Dictionary.
Since Klamath makes no formal distinction between the direct and the
the indirect object, which is expressed by our dative case, the terms transi-
tive and intransitive verb cannot mean the same thing in Klamath that they
do in English. English intransitives are sometimes rendered by Klamath
transitives, and vice versa. In the Klamath language the transitive verb is
governed by its object, a rule which can be comprehended in its full import
only by a study of the Grammar.
In their prefixes, verbs and their derivatives indicate the form and num-
ber of the object acted upon, and intransitive verbs the form and number of
the subject. ‘Thus it may be seen from the prefix attached to many terms,
whether the action or state refers to one or many, or to a long, flat, thread-
like, round, bulky, erect, animate being or inanimate thing. For the sake of
brevity, shape and number could not always be referred to in the following
pages, hence reference to the section “Prefixes” in the Grammar is necessary.
LIST OF PREFIXES.
The most common prefixes, simple and compound, are as follows:
a long-shaped object—in the singular number or collectively.
i-, ly-, y- long or animate—generally in the plural.
k-, ki- act performed laterally, obliquely.
ksh-, ks- long or animate object—in the singular or collectively, especially
when held in the arms.
l- round, rounded or bulky object or subject.
n- thin, thread-like or sheet-like object or subject; also refers to
what is seen on the horizon.
p- proptietary prefix; inalienable ownership.
p-» pe- long, round, or animate object—generally in the plural number.
sh-, s- medial prefix.
shl- object enveloping the whole body.
shn- object round, rounded, bulky, in a medial sense.
t-, ta-, te- subject or object standing erect—singular number.
tch-, ts- . subject or object a liquid, as water, ete.
u-, vu- long or animate subject, or direct and indirect object standing
or being above.
