In verbs of tlie paradigma ch of the third, fourth and 

 likewise the fifth arc formed impersonals from the first per- 

 son singular by prefixing a, as, a^hiaras — we remember 

 ourselves, (on se souvient), acheon — they are sick ; aonta 

 they season, the pot. In the fourth,^ is not pronounced. 



All impersonal verbs have the same tenses altogether 

 which are lound in the personal ones from which they are 

 derived. — Thus, from «?Y/*/r»a;< — to go, is made o«ras/co«cA. 

 And those which are single follow the personal verbs from 

 which they are formed, as well as to the final as the para- 

 digma, to wit : if they arc in the present, they follow the 

 paradigma and terminatiou of the present; and those which 

 arc of the preterite tense, follow the preterite of the 

 personal verb. 



Of the formation of Relative Verbs. 



Of relatives, some are relative by themselves, others 

 become relative by the addition of some syllables or letters, 

 and they are thus formed From absolute verbs, they may 

 be made relative, by the addition of particles of quality. — 

 TV, a//', kni ; as from etinan — to flee; athati — to nutke 

 some one flee ; atehcndi — to be ashamed ; ateliuli — to shame 

 any one ; /la/ar/tendi — to be ugly ; ^aaluc/iati — to make 

 home one ugly. 



Those ending in particles of this sort may be made 

 relative by changing i tinal into unili for the preterite, aiul 

 into en for the future aflirmativc, as, from the verb ^uHeti, 

 /tietandi, future, i\c^ctcn, ari/iHeo'sti — to believe; uritui'
