 OPTATIVE MOOD, 



The optative is formed of the subjunctive^ or 

 of the two mixed tenses of the indicative, with 

 the desiderative particles velcm, vel, or clii an- 

 nexedj as eluli velem ! God grant that I may 

 give ; eliiabun clii ! 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 pri- 

 mitive languages, and likewise in the English. 

 Thus all the nine tenses of the indicative have 

 their peculiar infinitives, and whenever it be- 

 comes necessary to make a distinction between 

 them, it is done by prefixing some determinative 

 particle.
