Other forms derived from verb-stem na(g)- than those given above 

 are of course found, but are easily formed on evident analogies. 

 Observe, however, intransitive aorist stem nagai- in transitive deriva- 

 tives nagalTcwa he said to him (personal) and nagal¥wit' he said 

 TO himself. Comitatives m.-{a)gw- are not listed because their forma- 

 tion offers no difficulty; e. g., second person singular present impera- 

 tive na¥'^ DO so and so having it! It is possible that Jo"- 

 nexada^ immediately is nothing but adverb ho^ now + subordinating 

 ioTia'^nexada^ of -xa- derivative from na^gr- with regular palatal ablaut 

 (see §31,5); literally it would then mean something like when it is 

 becoming (doing) now.
