bosucu, I am bad. In a similar sense the verb nolec or fiilec, I do 

 thus, I am thus, is often heard. 



There is no trace of a true passive voice, its place being supplied 

 by the sense of the verb or by particles. 



At the conclusion of his MS. the author inserts two versions of the 

 Lord's Prayer — the one " in the Xebera language, as it was spoken 

 in the earliest times of the mission," the translation being that of 

 Father Lucas de la Cueva (about 1655) 3 ^^^ second in the language 

 of the period of the writer, which I suppose to have been about one 

 hundred and fifty years later. 



Of the second or later of these I have ventured an interlinear 

 translation, while the former I insert without a rendering.
