Some of these forms are applicable to the present tense only, show- 

 ing- different suffixes in other tenses. Thus, an entirely divergent 

 treatment is accorded to the suffixes denoting possessive interrelations 

 for the durative, intentional, and past tenses (see § 37) . 



For the purpose of greater clearness, these forms have been sub- 

 divided into the following four groups: 



(1) Indicative forms denoting personal interrelations. 



(2) Indicative forms expressing possessive interrelations between 



object and subject. 



(3) Passive suffixes indicating pronominal and possessive interrela- 



tions. 



(4) Imperative forms denoting pronominal and possessive interrela- 



tions.

§ 28. Direct Object of Third Person -un (-a"n) 



This suffix transforms nouns into verbs, transitivizes all verbs 

 expressing intransitive actions, and changes a transitive idea into a 

 causative concept. In all these cases the object must be a third person. 

 All stems ending in /-diphthongs change the i of the diphthong- into y 

 before adding the transitive suffix (see § 8). This suffix immediately 

 precedes the subjective pronouns, and hence invariabh' follows the 

 tense signs. For the interchange between -U7i and -a^n see § 2.
