| tx̣ə́nəŋ cn ʔaʔ či qʷúʔ či nəsʔúx̣ʷ ʔaʔmitúliyə čšaʔč̓ixʷícən. | ‘I go by water to Victoria from Port Angeles.’ |
► 1 The source is indicated using the čšaʔ‑ ‘come/go from’ prefix you learned about in §23.1.
► 2 If you mention both the source and the destination, as in the second model sentence, either can go first:
Way Destination Source
I go by water to Victoria from Port Angeles.
Way Source Destination
I go by water from Port Angeles to Victoria.
► 3 Some speakers use ɬáʔaʔ or simply ɬáʔ instead of tx̣ə́nəŋ for 'go by way of, go via'. For the first model you could also use: ɬáʔaʔ cn ʔaʔ či qʷúʔ čšaʔč̕ixʷícən.
