Abstract
TN A RECENT ARTICLE Mary Haas (1967) demonstrates clearly that the study of classificatory verb systems can be of significant value in revealing the structure and content of what she calls taxonomies.'2 She also notes that information concerning the operation of such systems with respect to specific lexical items is generally lacking (1967:360). The present paper is intended as a modest step towards the elimination of this deficiency. It presents an analysis of the Western Apache classificatory verb system and the covert categories embodied therein.
