190 Grammar of the 



hates that we sin. 



Those derived from adjectives, as beauty, ugliness, 

 riches, are thus rendered, axinno7i hned euknastis — we love 

 beauty ; axinnon kon^a d' ieaUachensa — we despise ugly 

 persons ; namely by the impersonal of adjectives, which 

 signify handsome and ugly. 



Note. — But as much from adjectives as from verbs are 

 sometimes formed true substantives, as from a/c'ao'ta — a 

 beggar ; skuocha — beggary. From hannaendae — proud ; 

 ^annaendaecha — pride; from /ihiaton — to write, fihiatoncha 

 — writing. Akvanr'ai — to rob ; akaanr'ac/ia — theft, lar- 

 ceny. Atsir'andi — to be poor ; ^asir'acha — misery ; ^awi'- 

 enhvak — to have a father-in-law ; fiun'envae'cha ^a^isten — 

 to be a father ; ,ajstenha — paternity ; amhen — to be a 

 mother ; andtsencha — maternity ; from thence a^ennhvaeehen 

 — I have a father-in-law ; a^ejste'nchoi — I have my father. 

 Sometimes also they form substantives from appellatives, 

 as from onnheUien — woman ; onnhe'tiencha — that savours 

 of woman. Some derivatives, whether from substantives 

 or from verbs, are formed by adding chii, whence also 

 other verbs are formed, by changing cha into chen. 

 The Syntax of substantives with adjectives. 



Since some substantives undergo composition, others not 

 at all, a different syntax is to be used. Substantives which 

 are compounded in this, only agree with the adjectives to 

 which they arc joined, that they take the nature of their 

 paradigraa, as /infionchia — hut ; if it is compounded 

 with ,aaasti — beautiful, you say ^amionchia'aasti — a beauti- 

 ful hut, of the paradigma ch/ because vasti is of the para- 

 digmac/j/ but if it is compounded with the adjective ondiri 

 —strong, you say onnonchio' ndiri — a strong hui, of the 

 paradigma .<;, because ondiri ib of the paradigma s.
