The coinpoimds of this verb are in- 

 numeral)le, for it is not only combined 

 with such words as express the quality 

 of action, as irmmexn [wunne-iinsu] , he 

 does well; iii<ilrli,:sii [matche-ussu'], he 

 does ill, etc., l>ut it serves to express 

 potential activity, as well as action per- 

 formed; that is, the idea of activity in- 

 separable from that of an animate being. 

 Thus, with an animate subject it was 

 sometimes used as a verb of existence, 

 and in composition it denotes an ani- 

 mate subject (as ohtean does an inani- 

 mate subject) ot the compound verb. 



dog, nnfim (niif-Hiii, C), pi. -j-vxig.
