The Personal Pronoun : Of this there are two forms, 

 the one making a separate word ; the other annexed to 

 words, and not appearing except as a composite par- 

 ticle. I or me, as. As a composite : m, n, na. Example 

 —Iroupay good, niroupati, I good am, or iroiipatina, 

 good am I. 



I, ao, n, ni. Thou, amanle, bi, b. Him, he, /, IL 



None, thee bone lone 



Noaria loaria 



Nome borne lame 



Nouago louago 



2 Hem 



la loman 



Noa lia 



lao

 the phrase. 



The Possessive Pronoun. — Mine, thine, his, are 

 expressed as I, thou, him, in composition. Ouboutou^ 

 captain; nonboutoii^x^y C2i^\.2\xi. Pronoun this, //^/. 



The Verb. — It is still more impossible to gather from 

 the text of Father BRETON the rules for the conjugation

 (Imperative forms) ; couaca. 



It is evident that each of these terminations must 

 have a meaning, but in the text they are constantly used 

 interchangeably. 



The only indication which I have found for the dis- 

 tin6lion of the active from the passive is the following : —
