144 Grammar of the 



presentiment that they will kill me, thus in a favorable 

 signification, ontaxeio/ieuontie — I foresee that I shall do 

 much in battle, that I shall kill men ; Imtitoxak' hotiatato- 

 etjesas onte etho tonhatien — the Proj)hets foresaw well that 

 Jesus would be incarnate. But these verbs are conjugated 

 like the other verbs of motion with the particles t, ont, ^c. 

 Thus you would say, stante Jdheonche — death does not yet 

 threaten me. and thus, ehiheonchen — death was then 

 threatening me, also, heonchenn. Many verbs which are 

 used to express as well the place, or the business, as the act, 

 are placed in the present tense when they designate the 

 place or business, but in the perfect when they mean the 

 action, v. g. hatremlaenk — he is accustomed to pray to 

 God, he professes to do so ; hatrendaenhak
