(28.1) Linguistic Notes
1. dádatł'izhgo 'still green'. dá- 'just' plus: 3rd person of da-ni-...-tł'izh 'to
be green, to be blue' [imp. newt. intr.].
2. 'ísaa yóóndilná'a 'they put it
in a pot'. 'ísaa 'pot'. yóóndil should probably be bee 'iyóóndil, 3rd person perf. with 3rd person obj. of 'i-
|...[hi- perf.]-
ndííł 'to put
several objects away' [act. tr.].
3. hibéézhgo 'it, boiling'. 3rd person imo. of ...[si-
perf.]-béézh 'to boil' [act. intr.]. In the line below is the
3rd person perf. of this verb and in passages 2 and 4 of this text may be found the causative:
...[si- perf.]-ł-béézh 'to boil'
[act. tr.].

(28.4) Linguistic Notes
1. hita'iisndiná'a 'he pounded
it'. 3rd person perf. of ta-'i- ...[si- perf.]-ł-ndii 'to pound, to crush, to pulverize'. The pronoun before t'a-
occurs only in the 3rd person. Cf. hi- |...[si- perf.]- ł-ndii 'to hit, strike' [act. tr.].
2. 'iłch'áͅyiis'áͅná'a 'he took it off the fire'. I do not
understand this form. It seems to me to be 'iłch'áͅ 'from each
other' plus yiis'áͅ 'he has caused a round object to move'.
3. káyaadayaandííłná'a 'he poured
it for them'. I cannot analyze the prefix complex. The stem looks like the imp. stem of
-
ndííł 'to handle several objects'
[act. tr.].
