§ S2, Iteratives and Uistrihiitives 



Iteratives indicate repetition in point of time, as once, twice, 

 THRICE. They are derived from cardinals, and take the form of an 

 inanimate, intransitive verb. With the sixth iterative occurs the 

 numeral element -Ias-, denoting quantity ; it is incorporated after the 

 cardinal elements, and is found with all the rest of the iteratives. 

 The iteratives follow thus in order: 



ne'gute^nw^ first time 

 nl'cenw^ second time 

 ne'senw^ third time 

 nyd'wen^ fourth time 

 nyd'nAne'n'w^ fifth time
