Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.
Klallam Grammar

23 Some Place Expressions

Place expressions talk about being in, on, near, far, to, from, inside, outside, here, there, atop, below, around, away, and so on. English uses these prepositions to talk about place. Klallam has only one preposition: ʔaʔ (review §8). So how does Klallam talk about place?  It uses special location verbs and prefixes. There are many words in Klallam that refer to place, position, and direction. This section introduces some of them. A list of  Klallam location verbs can be found in Appendix E. You can find more extensive information about location and direction ideas in Klallam in §24 and §25.
We have already seen some of these verbs and prefixes in §22. The prefix čšaʔ‑ means ‘from,’ and the verb ʔəx̣ín means ‘where?’ We will first look at these and similar prefixes before we get to the place verbs.
