The characters of the tenses —aiate for the past and —¢/ for the future follow” 
the stem of the verb. 
The principal differences between the inflexions of the transitive verbs in the two 
dialects are found in the incorporation of the object first person in the verb in the 
Héiltsuk: dialect and the constant reduplication of the stem in the same dialect. 
The latter evidently disappeared in the Kwakiutl dialect through the use of the 
plural —daog. Auxiliary verbs are used in the Héiltsuk in the same way as in the 
Kwakiutl.
