the present and in exceptional cases in the preterit, and very rarely 

 with accompanying suffix in the future. 



na'pirwako'hinim where he goes treading 



kuvipupkima*'kim so he thus also goes giving 



micupnio'kim the}- also go speaking

In the future tense, contemporaneous motion is expressed by -i- 

 before the future suffix. This is practically always -da, making 

 the future motional suffix -ida, generally translated in Spanish 



"haber de ir ndo", "will go ing". This -i- may be [a 



reduction from -im. Thus 



aiiipuA-cmJor'rotida I will go singing 



ha'stu nat*a'nda kuvi'putma - 'kda natarmirmraD 



Whatever we may ask he shall give us who are his children, 



gat.o - 'G kuvi'putma 'kida lui'snat-a'nida 



Our Father. He must go giving us that which we go asking him. 



For some unexplained cause, probably phonetic, possibly morpho- 

 logical, instead of -*'-, -hi- with preceding variable vowel (probably 

 the original final stem vowel) occasionally appears. The ostensible 

 explanation is that this -//- belongs to the original verbal stem him. 

 This however, is a very doubtful explanation. Certain other trans- 

 lations seem to suggest that the suffix -hi- carries a morphological 

 significance, possibly implying a difference in rank between speaker 

 and auditor, a reverential particle. 



api.inda'giunihida thou slialt go purifying me 

 apida'giunida thou shalt go purifying him 



api.it*a'nihida thou shalt go begging us 

 api.it'a'nida thou shalt go begging us 



aniputumtok d'hida I go asking thee 



ku|)imipuma'tohi know ye and ...? 



knti'pukotdunahi we must decorate ourselves 



anintamiamu'hida I must go thinking 



In the past tenses the concept of contemporaneous motion is 

 expressed by the use of the tense particles -ili> and -6k with the 

 particle -twi, viz., -imos and -imok.
