senihe. Oharek — she washes ; ^a^anek — she rows. 



Some verbs, that they may become relative, not only add 

 enni to the present, but also change its final syllable in 

 en or on into a, as atehens — she is ashamed / atehasenni, 

 future, e^atehas. Aveiachens — she is in a passion, of the 

 third conjugation, a»eiac/nase?i7ii. Enheons — she is sick ; 

 enheasenni, fimih^ataskaron — she lops the branches from 

 the trees ; ^atinhattts, karasemii, by contraction for, ,aww- 

 hatvskarasenni. 'J hus, o)iliarons — she weeds ; onr'asenni. 

 ^Aencchon — to flay; ^aencliasenni. Remark that all the 

 aforementioned verbs agree with each other, as fto the 

 infinitive, present, imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, the 

 negative, personal mood and the future negative, and are 

 thus inflected, present ndih, or nnik, imperfect nditnk or 

 nni/iik, the perfect ndi or n?ii, pluperfect, nd'innen or 

 nn'm'nen, future negative, ndihe or nnihe, future of con- 

 tinuation ndihi or nnhi, future negative removed, ndihi- 

 ^ehenk or nnihi^ehenk. The negative personal mood, ndi- 

 henn or nnihen, also the improper aorist, as, aska^ara- 

 tandiska — tliou hast thought me obliged. 



We use relative verbs doubly under a different sense, as, 

 ha^eQcQa — he pounds or he tramples upon me, and Aa/8e- 

 tandik — he pounds something for me. Thus, hajenchons — 

 he flays me ; hajenchasenn'ik — he flays for me ; ha^okaj — 

 he has daubed me ; ha^ekamndi — he has daubed something 

 for me. 



The aforesaid rules for the formation of relative verbs 

 not only answer for derivative and simple verbs, but also 

 for passive, reciprocal and deponent ones, as, a'taseti — to 

 be hid ; 'atasetandi — to be hid from some one ; ha^a'tast' 

 tandik — he hides himself from me j and ata'tase'iandi — to 

 hide from one another. Aliata'iondi — to wander, to escape ;
