Chapter 15: The S-Group and the Sa-Group

In this chapter, we learn about two new groups, the S-Group and the Sa-
Group.
 

15.1 The S-Group

There are two prefixes in the S-Group.

   s-     ::  you do something to it
   hehs-  ::  you do something to him

The forms that these prefixes take with the five Stem Classes we have
seen is shown in the table below.

           C        X         L         LX        A
   -----------------------------------------------------
   s-    | s-       se-       sé-       sé-       s-
   hehs- | hehs-    hehse-    hehsé-    hehsé-    hehs-

We can note the following patterns:

   * Both of the prefixes end in -s- in the C-Stem and A-Stem forms.

   * Both of the prefixes end in -se- in the X-Stem forms.

   * Both of the prefixes end in -sé- in the L-Stem and LX-Stem forms.

For example:

   satënö'ös     ::  you're watching over it
   hehsatënö'ös  ::  you're watching over him
 

15.2 The Sa-Group

There are three pronominal prefixes in the Sa-Group:

   sa-    ::  it does something to you
   esa-   ::  she does something to you
   hösa-  ::  they do something to you

The forms that these prefixes take with the five Stem Classes we have
seen is shown in the table below.

            C      X       L       LX      A
   ---------------------------------------------
   sa-   | sa-     sa-     sá-     sá-     sa-
   esa-  | esa-    esa-    esá-    esá-    esa-
   hösa- | hösa-   hösa-   hösá-   hösá-   hösa-

We can note the following patterns:

   * All the prefixes end in -sa- in the C-Stem, X-Stem and A-Stem
     forms.

   * All the prefixes end in -sá- in the L-Stem and LX-Stem forms.

For example:

   satënö'ös    ::  it's watching over you
   esatënö'ös   ::  she's watching over you
   hösatënö'ös  ::  they're watching over you
