This is the adjective pe, 'ripe,' 'mature,' used as a noun; for adjectival use of ye see below. Pe is applied to any seed or fruit produced by any plant, also to crops in^he sense of seeds or fruits col- lectively . Rarely it refers to ' crops,' meaning matured whole plants or any part or parts of matured plants. Thus: tcUqpe., ' seed, fruit, or berry of wheat,' 'wheat crop,' not includ- ing or excluding stalks, leaves, or roots (MM, wheat; pe, seed, fruit, crop). Pe may be used instead of tqy, to, k'e, Tea, he, pege, ¥, and the names of introduced nuts and fruits; see below. Pe tends espe- cially to supplant I'a and jf><?^(3. Thus: hupe, 'beriy of one-seeded juniper,' instead of Jiupegc (hu, one-seeded juniper; pe, seed, fruit, crop); kivse/pe, 'acorn,' instead of hwseli a {hwse,, oak tree; pe, seed, fruit, crop). In the case of fruits to which none of the other words applies very well, p'tf, stick, plant; pe, seed, fruit, crop). This is an equivalent of the non-compounded pe. Tqi), 'seed.' This word is applied to any seed. It may be, but usually is not, applied instead of to or Tea; see below. Intro- duced nuts may be called tqy, just as we would call them seeds, but the common name for them is to.
