also the formation of the passive in verbs of several syllables 
which begin with a vowel, as quinaqaxan, I hear, guinaqavan, 
I am heard, r 
‘|. Active verbs of only one syllable form their passives in 
two manners, 
The first is to drop the particles of active verbs, which are, 
tin, ta, tu, ete., ard substitute those of neuter verbs which are, 
qui, cat, tt, etc., as, 
tin ban, I make. que ban, T am made. 
tin ya, I give. qur ya, I am given, 
And so with all verbs of one syllable, 
T'he second form of the passive is by adding the particle tah 
to the verb preceded by a vowel like that in the verb, as, ban- 
atah, yatah, ete. 
The Imperative. 
All verbs of one syllable or vowel if it is a, e, or @, form 
their imperative in @ in both singular and plural, e. g., 1 
tiban, I do; imper. tabana, do thou; pl. tibana, do you, Oy 
ting,et, I see; imp. taq,eta, see thou; pl. tig,eta, see ye. 
tin quir, I untie: imp. taquira, untie thou; pl. tiguira, untie 
ye. 
tin piz, I wrap; imp. tapiza, wrap thou; pl. tépiza, wrap ye. 
Those of one syllable with the vowel o form their impera- 
tive in 0, as, 
tin bot, I wrap up; imp. taboto, wrap thou up; pl. tiboto, 
wrap ye up. 
tun cot, 1 scrape; imp. tacoto, scrape thou; pl. ticoto, scrape 
ye. 
tin lo, I buy; imp. taloXo, buy thou; pl. tloXo, buy ye. 
Those of one syllable with the vowel w form their impera- 
tive in u; as: 
tinqut, I appear: imp. taquiu, appear thou: pl. téqutu, ap- 
pear ye. 
tinchup, I quench; imp. tachupu, quench thou; pl. tichupu, 
quench ye, 
But if the verb is of more than one syllable, the imperative 
has the same form as the indicative, and one of these particles
