Of the Gerund with the Accusative, and the First Supine. 
To form a sentence containing a gerund with accusative, 
they make use, for the present and future tenses of the verb 
tibe, and for the preterit of abe, both from be, to go. 
They also use for present and future the verb ¢tu/, preterit 
wul, to come. 
Both are used in the third person, and are not conjugated, but 
are followed by nu, a, ru, or, v, au, 7, of the subject, the latter 
when the active verb begins with a vowel, and this active 
agrees in number and person with the subject. Examples: tibe 
nu loXoh Dios, 1 am going to love God; tul nu rapah ala, I 
come from (I have just been) whipping this boy. 
{. Note, that if either of these verbs signifying movement, 
which are used in forming gerunds, tide, abe, tul, wul, is followed 
by a neuter, passive or absolute verb, then the verb of move- 
ment is conjugated with the proper particles of a neuter verb, 
and agrees with them in number and person, and the neuter, 
passive or absolute verb follows without variation. Examples, 
qui be var, 1 am going to koh be var, we are going to 
sleep. sleep. 
cat be var, thou art going to quix be var, you are going to 
sleep. 
ti be var, he is going to que be var, they are going to 
sleep. sleep.
