passive verbs ; the same may be said of words placed in 

 compositiou whose initials just as if the verbs take at or 

 aiat. Thus from ^ari/t^a—H thing, is made aialrihm, by 

 contraction, for ataterihna, which, if you put with the verb 

 .annonh^emli, it will become atatrih^ia imslandi— to m^iruct 

 one another, from fiienslandi. 



Of the Pospositions ti, sti, jvi. 

 These three particles are added to words, to signify 

 sometimes the cause, sometimes the matter, sometimes the 

 formal, or efficient, or final, as will appear by the exam- 

 pies. Moreover, final particles of this sort are not joined 

 promiscuously to any verb ; but ti is placed after some 

 verbs, sti after others, and xni after others. Ti is placed 

 after verbs in the following manner. 



lo.— Those whose infinitive in e adds /c to form the 

 present indicative, as fitsihcine~io burn a field, from 

 atsihdnek-^hc burns. Add ti, as atsihei'neii~io burn with 

 that ; thus ohan—io wash ; ohareti—io wash with -, fi^avc— 

 to row ; ,afiHeti—to row with.
