These forms appear in various connections. An example of a 

 future is —

 other 20.12 (indirect question; wdpi- [§ 16]; pemu- m. dwdpi- 

 pemutlwdt& then they began shooting at each other 20.14; cf. 

 nipemwdvf' I am going to shoot at him 248.14; -tl- recip- 

 rocal [§ 38]) 

 Three of those used for the aorist will be shown. One is an in- 

 direct question after an imperative statement. 



TclnAndtucdpw"- d' ' cisenogwa'n^ you should inquire how the affair 

 stood 



Another is in an indirect question after a declarative, negative 

 statement. 



dgwinotdgdydnin^ dcisowAndn^ I did not learn what their name 

 was 



A third use is in the salutation of a first meeting: after a long 

 absence. 



apydWAndin}! and so thou hast come! 

 Without d, this interrogative appears in 



dgwi meckwahdwi^ ndwdgwin^ did you not see a red swan 80.5, 16; 

 82.6 {nd- to see [§ 16]; -wdgwi [§ 32]; -n' [§ 29])

 tive subjunctive. Note, however,
