 the Passive voice. 



I shall uow conjugate the verb " to see," but as its positive form in the Active voice 

 is similar to viuhyâ already given, I shall only conjugate its negative form until we 

 reach the Passive voice. 



The verb " to see " has two forms, dfi/iwUa and dTi^wikUla. They are found in every 

 mood and in both voices. The latter form, dlàunklilu, is used if the object seen quickly 

 disappears, or if it is seen for the first time. Diiktvi/a is the proper word for immoveable 

 objects, srrch as a tree ; but dtikwiklila for a passing steamship.
