IX. VERBS. 
15. Shyenne verbs have three moods, indicative, imperative, and infinitive ; three tenses, 
present, past, and future; three persons, first, second, and third; two numbers, singular 
and plural. There are two forms of the plural; the common form meaning a number or 
several, and the other is probably caused by the addition of a-is’-to, a great many, like 
the similar form in the Blackfoot verbs, by the addition of a-ku’-a-wa. 
na-wi-ats, I am. na-paw’-i-mit, I give liberally. 
ni-wi-ats, thou art. ni-pi’-wi-mit, thou givest liberally.
