Brinton.] 376 (Jan. 4, 
The original omits the future prefix win this tense, but I presume this 
is a fault of the copyist, and [ restore it, following Torresano. He adds 
this example of its employment : Lv lod wquia ua chire Dios ve tiXil ivit pan 
imac, You will become the beloved of God, if you abstain from your sins. 
Future Perfect. 
This tense is formed from the pluperfect by dropping the 
vi and suffixing the adverbial particle ¢ok, when, and then the 
verb; as: 
ain ulz tok cat ul, I shall have been good when thou wilt 
have come. 
vat ute tok tul Padre, already thou wilt have been good 
when the Father comes. 
For this tense Torresano simply postfixes the particle chic, as: 
yn nimanel chic, I shall have been obedient, 
at nimanel chic, thou shalt have been obedient, &e. 
It is difficult to appreciate the precise value of chic as a temporal par- 
ticle. The following examples of its use from the Calepino of Varea will 
illustrate its force: At mama chic, already thou art an old man; ul chic 
he had returned ; xcamican chic, he returned again to killing, etc. 
Imperative Mood. 
The imperative is formed from the present of the in- 
dicative by adding the particle ok after the pronoun and be- 
fore the adjective-noun; but in the third person singular the 
ha is not used, and the ok is placed after the adjective noun; as 
at ok utz, be thou good. 
utz ok Pedro, let Pedro be good. 
Note that this form of expression is more appropriate where, 
for example, one asks for a stone and they bring him a stick, 
and he says, Abah ok, maqui che, A stone, I say, and not a 
stick. They make much use of this verb, guin ua, cat ua, tux, 
which is, in Latin, fio, fis, fit, as an imperative, giving it its pro- 
nouns and numbers, as, 
quin ux, may I become. 
cat ux, may thou become. 
tux, may he become, and so the rest of the persons, repeat- 
ing them after the imperative forms, as, 
at ok utz cat ux, become thou good,
