Verbs wiiosc infinitives end /, as ^ahacUcnt, atrendaenl, 

 flatont ^andiont , jikont, take hatie. Verbs ending in on

 enheonhatie, iliennonhatie. But with verbs of motion there 

 is subjoined, ontie, as fientontie — the stick goes ; ari/io- 

 nlie — the discourse continues; the others a(kl hatie. — 

 Thus one says hatiHeihatie — they always go together, and 

 achiukiliennunliatie — they three go in company, a\ hen one

 with certain verbs of motion, as, ^atrendaendes — 1 am used 

 to go and pray to God, I go every day to pray to God ; but 

 ,atrendaende — I come to pray to God ; is understood of only
