(37.1) Linguistic Notes
1. há'óóyáná'a 'she went after it'. há- 'for, in order to [get, find]' plus the 3rd person perf. of 'i-
|...[hi- perf.]-yá 'one goes away' [act. intr.]. Though I
have recorded this combination of 'i- | and the hi- perf. prefix rather consistently as
'óó-, suspect that it should read 'oó- .
2. tóee 'at the water-hole'. Literally: 'at the
water'.
3. tábóótíͅná'a 'it had pulled her into the water'. Perf.
pass. of tá-0-...[hi- perf.]-d-tee 'to be pulled into the
water'. tá- 'into the water' [?]; cf. tó 'water'. The theme: 'to handle an animate being'.
