-ta and -te occurs in participles of passive, and also of intransitive verbs ; 

 to distinguish it from the negative and the interrogative -ti, -te is not 

 always an easy matter, -ta mostly occurs as the ending of a substantive. 



ulmata caught, from ubua to catch, capture. 



hibate missa tbe missa having been said, or having said the missa. 



atofa hororoquene hebataqe when the owl and the red owl were screeching.

There are two negative particles in the language, aya (ya) and -ti, -te. 

 The former either stands for itself, or is prefixed to the verb ; when pre- 

 fixed it becomes only agglutinated to, not incorporated into the verb. Aya 

 is a particle of an objective nature, while -ti, -te is used in a subjective, puta- 

 tive sense, the negation of a fact or thought existing rather in the speaker's 

 mind, than objectively. Therefore it serves also as an interrogative parti- 

 cle, and then is mostly joined to in- as inti, though frequently found incor- 

 porated into the verb, and placed after particles of derivation. It then cor- 

 responds to Latin -ne in dicisne? and to /iw^ (/^ oZ'A or to our not in 

 " don't you say?" which means the same as "do you say?" though with 

 a slight shade of difference. 



aya houoma ituhunu fruits not prayed over. 



hanibitila he did not neglect. 



manino-ticote without feeling hunger. 



Diosi hubuasotanatila ? have you not loved God ? 



isayente (for isaye nate)? is she thy mother? 



i.-a\ este ? does thy mother say so ? 



The formation of reflective, reciprocal, medial and causative verbs is 

 effected by derivational affixes, and some of them are mentioned among 

 the " Prefixes and Suffixes of Derivation." How frequentative and usita- 

 tive, duiative and attributive verbs are formed cannot be determined yet 

 on account of the infrequency of syntactic examples. Instances how 

 derivatives are formed, will be seen under mo- and orobo- in the "Words 

 and Sentences." 



The Noun. 



The Timucua noun presents many difficult problems. To designate the 

 objective case of the direct object we find in the substantive four suffixes : 

 -co, -nu -ma, and the plural sutlix -qe, or we find no suffix at all. While 

 -ma is locative, plural and verbal suffix at the same time, -nu seems con- 

 nected with certain classes of nouns only, of the animate as well as of the 

 inanimate mler. None of them is a sign of a distinct case. 



chofama pilenomaibine-ichicosa to throw liver and lungs into cold water.
