§ 22, Transitive Verbs 



Transitive verbs with incorpo^-ated object appear in the same 

 forms as in Dakota. The object has the same form as the subject of 

 the neutral verb. In the combinations of subject and object the 

 first person precedes the second and third, and the third person pre- 

 cedes the second. As in Dakota, the combination of the first person 

 subject and the second person ol)ject is expressed by a special form, 

 ?/'/-. The object of the third person plural after the inclusive dual 

 and first person plural is always ?ra"^. The plurality of the object is 

 expressed by the suffix -/.
