3. The second person takes a connective -e- before the objective 

 and instrumental of the third person; so that we have -seq thou — 

 HiM^ and -ses thou — with him. With the instrumental of the first 

 person, inclusive, and exclusive, the second person forms -setSEU, 

 -setsETis, -setSEUu^x'^. Examples of this kind are very rare in our 

 texts. 



4. When a nominal subject is followed by an objective or instru- 

 mental, or when a nominal object is followed by an instrumental, it 

 takes a connective -a- analogous to that following the first person 

 (see under 2) .

5. Verbs which have the future suffix -l (no. 8S, p. 486) generally 

 form the subjective b}^ the suffix -a, which takes the place of -eda. 

 Evidently the process of contraction by which the objective -xa and 

 the instrumental -sa have developed from the older -xeda and -seda 

 has affected in this case also the subjective. The second person 

 firture, when the verb has a pronominal ending, is generally -lol 

 instead of r-ios, which is used only as a possessive form.

6. Nouns ending in -a, -e, -a, and -d, when followed by the con- 

 nective -a- (rule ^),by the postnominal -a of the third person invis- 

 ible, by -ax, -aq!, and -q'^! of the second person invisible, and by -§« 

 of the second person visible (Tables II, III, §§ 48, 49), take the end- 

 ings -a, -dx, -dq!, -dq!-, -dq-, in place of -a, -e, -d, -d, followed by the 

 ordinary endings, "^n nouns ending in -a, the forms -a^ga, -a^yax,
