583, 3. tch[/e]l[x]a. During the treatment of a patient, who stays in
a winter house, the lodge is often shut up at the top, and the people
sit in a circle inside in utter darkness.
583, 5. liuki[/a]mnank. The women and all who take a part in the chorus
usually sit in a circle around the conjurer and his assistant; the
suffix -mna indicates close proximity. Nadsh[=a]'shak qualifies the
verb win[/o]ta.
583, 5. tch[^u]tchtn[/i]shash. The distributive form of tch[^u]'t[']na refers
to each of the _various_ manipulations performed by the conjurer on
the patient.
584, 1. m[=a]'shish, shortened from m[=a]sh[/i]pkash, m[=a]'shipksh, like
[k=]'l[:a]'ksh from k[']l[:a]k[/a]pkash.
584, 2. 3. There is a stylistic incongruity in using the distributive
form, only in kuku[`a]ga (k[/u]e, _frog_), k[/a]haktok, and in nshendshk[/a]ne
(nshek[/a]ni, npsh[/e]kani, ts[/e]kani, tch[/e]k[)e]ni, _small_), while
inserting the absolute form in wishink[/a]ga (w[/i]shink, _garter-snake_) and
in [k=][/a][k=]o; m[^u]'lkaga is more of a generic term and its distributive
form is therefore not in use.
