OPTATIVE MOOD. 



The optative is formed of the subjunctive, or of 

 the two mixed tenses of the indicative, with the de- 

 siderative particles ve/em, vel or chi annexed, ai> 

 eluli velem ! God grant that I may give ! cluahun 

 chi ! Would to God that I had to give ! 



INFINITIVE MOOD. 



The affirmative infinitive is not distinguishable 

 from the first persons singular of the tenses of the 

 indicative, as is the case in most of the primitive 

 languages, and likewise in the English. Thus all 

 the nine tenses of the indicative have their peculiar 

 infinitives, and whenever it becomes necessary to 

 make a distinction between them, it is done by pre- 

 fixing some determinative particle.
