§ 61. Introductory Remarks 



The predicate appears in two distinct forms, according to the char- 

 acter of the word forming the predicate. The first class is formed 

 by verbs; the latter, by nominal terms which are used as predicate. 

 While all verbs may appear in nominalized forms, and therefore may 

 take the form of the noun as predicate, nouns can not readily be trans- 

 formed into verbs — except by the use of verbalizing suffixes, which give 

 the compound stem a verbal character. Thus we find that true verbal 

 forms are confined to verbal stems, to the numerals (except oj^e), and
