There are, again, three other verbs which are connected witli 

 tliese, as will be seen by the translation — 



I. ta tuanjaiiKi, " returning 1 beat on the road,"' which is in 



Dual and Plural of the Active as well as of Middle and 



Reciprocal connected with the auxiliary verb lama, as, 



ilini tiiiuja Jftrnmi, ilinahara tiiHnja l<ir(niir>, etc. 



II. ta titinjilhitnimi, " I beat shortly after started on road 



going home." 

 III. ta timnjilbuma, " almost arrived at home I Ijeat." 

 Both are regularly conjugated; the particle of the Middle la or li 

 IS added to the root of the verb, as nukara tuliivjilbitninw and 

 Inlijalbuma. 



There remain only two more forms to be mentioned, which have 

 both one meaning, only the latter is augmented — 

 I. ta tunama. 

 ilina tunerama. 

 anuna turira nama. 

 Middle : nukara tula nama. 

 Reciprocal : ilinakara tura nama. 

 II. tulbntunmnri, " I beat going away quickly." 

 Corresponding with the latter is tuatUhnnima ov iUnfnJhilbnn'^m'r^ 

 " I beat or eat going away on the road. 



CHAPTER XIII. 

 Sundry Moods and Forms not mentioned in Chapter YI. 



There are some conditional forms which ha^e to be mentioned 

 here, as they are of frequent occurrence — 



I. ta tumalamihana namara, I should not have beaten ; 

 n. ta tumaranga or tiimnlanga^ " I should have beaten ;" 

 as, for example, unta nala namanga, kaija nulla ilumalamihana 

 namara^ " if you would have been here, my brother would not 

 have died," i.e.^ " if thou had'st been here my brother had not 

 died." 



The first can also be expressed by putting before the conditional 

 mood the negative word itja^ " no," as, itja iliunara, " had not 

 died ;" or by tuiualihannnga, as, unta bitjiiaaJihananga, kulja nuka 

 ilumara, " if thou hads't not come here, my brother would have 

 died." 



Again, the first form can be used without the conditional, 

 namara, then meaning, " not beaten,^'' or " because not benten ;" as, 

 em nanialamihana, mandera inimahnnihana, " because he was 

 not here, he got no shirt." 



When a question is put to anyone else, the verb takes another 

 form, as, woka nnta tuihana? "Why you have beaten not?"
