8. Suffixes : 



Certain syllables are commonly affixed to verbs which sometimes 

 appear without them, and hence they must be regarded as suffixes. 

 Such syllables are ti, di. Aratoro, arotoridi, ask ; arogo, aroguti, 

 speak ; auodi, auoduti, pour ; bodoro (Mir. deskemer), lodorodi (Mir. 

 deskemereda), persecute. 



There is also an appearance of suffixes in the words aurai, auamOy 

 to prick, sew ; epuriio, to hide; emeretds, to scorch; emereuti, to light up. 



Several verbs denoting mental operations end in diro. Erauidiro, 

 iroidiro, mitidiro, to hear; kitamodiro, to teacli; atamudiro, to inter- 

 pret {atamiiai, teach) ; meragidiro, emeragidiro, to remember, think. 

 Iroruodiro is "to drown." 



9. As an example of the variety of verbal forms we give the verb 

 ogu^ go, as it appears in the vocabularies. Unfortunately, the compilers 

 of these have rarely given the exact shades of meaning,

 you going ? ogu, come, walk ; im-ogo-riano, to beckon to come ; ragot-
