In two instances the verbal stem, to which this suffix is added, has 

 been reduplicated (see § lOT). 



H wan LllLfwa'xam finally he was 

 approached 16.3 



tlEmtlma'xavx wan they come to 

 see him now (literally, he is 

 assembled about, now) 23.3, 4

For forms in -xamltx^ expressing passives with indirect object, the 

 grammatical subject being the property of the indirect object, see § 39. 



§ 56. Future Passives in -atam, -i (-a^), -aaa 



These suffixes indicate the future tense of the passive voice. No 

 explanation for the occurrence of the variety of forms can be given. 

 Similarly, all attempts to correlate these different suffixes with certain 

 stems have been without results. 



-atam is added directly to stems. Stems ending in ^-vowels con- 

 tract this vowel with the initial a of the suffix (see § 9). Final I 

 and u of the stem are diphthongized into ya and wa respectively 

 before the addition of the suffix (see § 7).

By adding to -atam the objective form -un (see § 28) a compound 

 suffix -atamun is obtained which exercises the function of a causative 

 passive for the future tense. No examples of this formation have been 

 found in the texts.
