ʔəx̣ín̓txʷ cxʷ ʔuč. ‘Where do you put it?’ tx̣ʷín̓txʷ cxʷ ʔuč. ‘Where do you take it?’ čšaʔəx̣íntxʷ cxʷ ʔuč. ‘Where do you get it?’
► 1 Do these three models look familiar? Compare them to the first three models in §22.1.
► 2 Adding the causative suffix, ‑txʷ, makes a transitive verb. We will study this ‘cause’ idea in detail in §40.
► 3 The causative suffix adds the meaning ‘cause to.’
ʔəx̣ín̓ ‘where at?’ + ‑txʷ means ‘where cause to be at?’ or ‘where put?’
tx̣ʷín̓ ‘where to?’ + ‑txʷ means ‘where cause to go to?’ or ‘where take?’
čšaʔəx̣ín ‘where from?’ + ‑txʷ means ‘where cause to be from?’ or ‘where get?’
► 4 Two other things that you might want to ask about the source and destination of an object are ‘Who did you get it from?’ and ‘Who did you give it to?’ To ask these questions, use:
čšaʔcántxʷ ‘Who did you get it from?’
txʷcántxʷ ‘Who did you give it to?’
Note that both of these have the root cán ‘who’ (§12.1).
čšaʔəx̣íntxʷ cxʷ cə ʔən̓kapú. ‘Where did you get your coat?’ 
tákʷs cn ʔaʔ cə sxʷimáy. ‘I bought it at the store.’ mán̓ ʔuʔ ʔə́y̓ cə ʔən̓kapú. ‘It’s a very nice coat.’ háʔnəŋ cn. ‘Thank you.’ ʔə́ŋaʔc či. ‘Give it to me.’
