Note. — The futures which are used in affirmative 

 propositions are not used in negative propositions, but 

 only negative futures, v. g. teaa^eQeQai, or fe^edsandi — 

 I will not pound, though one might say, e^e^et — I will 

 pound. But as to ^evae^etik — I should have pounded it, is 

 expressed in the negative, asonte^aehtinke^enk — I should 

 not yet have pounded. When the final of the future or 

 personal mood is without the temporal augment, it is the 

 mark of the imperative mood, v. g. skaafrendae'nda — go 

 and pray to God ; skvaieiick — let me be carried ; tsisaenk, 

 shoerik, tooenk, of the paradigma s, because the verb is 

 of the paradigma s. 



The aorists are not used in negative propositions, but in 

 the place of the aorist is used either the present or imper- 

 fect, or the future, because the aorist has sometijnes the 

 signification of the present, sometimes of the perfect and 

 imperfect, and sometimes also of the future, as, aonrikHcsscr 

 — I shut your mouth, I will shut your mouth. But in 

 negative propositions one says, stanteskrikvhjndi, or statc- 

 skrikacjiidi, or stanteskiktie ^skrikvc jndi, or stanteskik^eindehe 

 — you will not shut my mouth. The aorist is often expres- 

 sed in the place of the imperfect, and the present in the 

 place of the imperfect. Jesrisanen ^eharaskm — Jesus walked 

 upon tlie >vaters. Thaatic?ik(imiiskeaen — as it would liapi)cn
