170 Grammar of the 



Note 2o. — When the relation is to the feminine of the 

 singular number, then the persons of the relative verb do 

 not differ from the persons of the simple verb, and they 

 admit before them the same particles to signify the aorist, 

 future, the personal mood, the repetition, locality and 

 diversion, as if they were persons of the simple verb. — 

 Wherefore say, a/ikaksdch — she beholds me ; oti^akaksa — 

 she has just paid me a visit j aoii^akakva — she ought to 

 have paid me a visit ; ena^akakva — she will see me, like the 

 rule of a simple verb of the paradigma s. 



Note 3o. — In the other persons of the relative verb put 

 for the future e, for the aorist and personal mood the initial 

 a, as, ahakoksa — lo ! I see him ; asajaka asa^iakakaa — 

 we both see him ; asa^»akak>ia — many of us see him ; 

 ehakakva — I will see him, and axeakakna — lo ! I see them ; 

 ahechiakakaa — lo ! thou seest him. In all persons relating 

 to others indeterminately which commence with a vowel, 

 prefix ai to signify the personal mood, as, aiaxiaka^ktia — 

 we should see them j aionxiaku^kva — we should be seen by 

 them ; aie^fiakakba — we should see you ; oielsiakakaa — we 

 would see you ; aion^aka'kva — they would see me ; aioH' 

 ha'kaa — they would see her ; aia^okakaa — she would see 

 the world, indeterminately. Thus with reduplication, 

 fionsaiaxiakakva — we should see him a second time ; 

 aonsaionxiakakm, aonsaiesakakva, aonsaietsiakakaa, ^c. 

 Thus particles of locality, taontaionxiakakvacha — that we 

 return to sec. Tuontaiesakuktacka, taotitaktxiaka'kbac'ka. 



But in the aorist, onsa only for the reduplication and 

 onta or tonla for locality is placed before all the relative 

 persons excepting those which denote the singular number 

 feminine. These do not follow the rules of the simple verb. 

 |u the imperative say for the reduplication, unsatu,akakna
