INFLEXION AND CONSTEUCTION OF WORDS. 87 



1. That the forms 'emi 6 ri' and 'i) 6 ri' have the same force ; and that the 

 three other forms of the active afiirmative are emphatic. 



2. That ki, not^ is the only negative employed in the future ; and that yi, Tie, 

 always follows it. This arrangement is designed, partly to distinguish the future 

 from other similar combinations of words, and partly to avoid uneuphonious 

 expressions. Thus, if k6, not, were employed, k6 6, pronounced as two syllables, 

 would be disagreeable to the ear ; and if pronounced as one, it would be confounded 

 with ki 6, tJiat he. 



3. Here, as elsewhere, the affirmative active exhibits a greater number of forms 

 than the negative, &c.
