Kwakwala

This text in Kwakwala is derived from one inherited through a Tlingit tie in the narrator's family. A Wakashan lang, Kwakwala contains words of two types: particles & roots. Suffixes are attached to roots to give predicate or nonpredicate status. Nonpredicates may take on subject, O, oblique, or complement functions. Narrative style differs from conversational in the omission of certain types of suffixes & greater lexical richness. "Raven Steals the Sun" is given in Kwakwala with English translation & morpheme-by-morpheme analysis. T. Lamb
