Transitive Verb.

(de) qat rt sctene'n agE ? did you see me ? 



de rl sitem'n agR? or rt setene'ii agss ? did you see him 1 



ha rl setene'n agE ? did you see us ? 



Here are a few instances in which ags follows the adverb : 



sere' Ilk agE rl ha hug' rl sete'n? will you see us to-morrow ? 

 tetgE' agE rl sete'n ? did you see him yesterday ? 

 Also : aq Mtl agE' rs k's' ? is my house all right ? 



In interrogative sentences agE stands for our rerhum suhstantirum (see p. 69). 



aq art agE ? is that mine ? aq hiti agE ? is that my house ? 



In order to emphasise the question, it may be repeated in the beginning of the 

 sentence : 



agE aq hiti agE ? is that my house 1 



After an interrogative pronoun the interrogative particle is not used : 

 tase I djunen ? what did you dream ? 



Imperative. 

 I found two forms of imperative ; one formed by the suffix -ds, the other by ka: 

 -dE : at qads' ! eat ! cends' ! get up I 



at Iri qadE' ! eat ! (plural) — 



ka: ka sete' 7i! look here ! qat ka sete'n! look at me ! 



— ka sete'n ! look at him ! 



— ha ka sete'n ! look at us ! 



— has ka sete'n! look at them ! 



a kaq site' n ! let him look ! qat a kaq sete'n ! let him look at me 1 



— rl ka tu tlite'n ! let us look at you ' 

 ge ka sine' ! do it ! a de ka sia'q ! listen now 1 



ka sneq ! save him! at ka to qa! let us eat I 



qat ka sneq ! save me ! 



Both forms are in some instances combined : 



at ka gads' ! let him eat ! at ka t gads' I let us eat 1 



The following forms are doubtful : 



suqs'et's'n ! think of it ! Itut'etlke'n 1 look here ! 



Conditional. 



The conditional has the suffix •nek''. It will be seen from the following examples 

 that the verbs frequently take the particle na in this mood. This agrees well with 

 our supposition that the latter denotes the commencement of a state. 



dag sctannek', tletl ha de kug- iva gud, if it rains, I shall not cocne. 

 aq dag gannek', ha de kug- iva gud, if the sun shines, I shall come. 

 gs neknek\ tletl a kug- atle'q, if he is sick, I shall not dance. 



qat gs neknek^, if I am sick 



qat ran hanek\ if I am hungry 



I qa sete'nnek', if I see you, .... 

 tV I qoasete'hnek', if I do not see you, .... 

 tV qua sete'nnek'-, if I do not see him, ....
