Active verbs are formed from substantive nouns by adding 
one of these particles, ah, eh, ih, oh, uh; as achbiil, a companion, 
tevachbilah, to take one as a companion; zed, laughter, téntze- 
beh, to laugh at one. 
Of Neuter Verbs, ending in e, of more than one Syllable. 
There are in this language some neuter verbs, of more than 
one syllable, ending in e, as, pae, to stand up, quque, to sit down, 
qule, to marry, hote, to ascend. All these form active verbs 
by dropping the e, adding the initial vowel of the root, and suf- 
fixing the particle da; thus, pae forms paaba to erect; quque 
forms ququba, to set down; qule, quluba, to give in marriage ; 
hote, hotoba, to lift up. Qut pae, I stand up, tin paaba, I erect 
something ; qui quqwe, I sit down, tin ququba, I set something 
down. 
From these verbs ending in e certain participials are formed 
of frequent use, by changing thee into /; as wuque to kneel 
down, «uqul, he who is on his knees; pae, to stand up, paal, he 
who is on foot. The plural of these participials is formed by 
changing the final / into the initial consonant of the root and 
adding oh or uh; as paal, he who is on foot, paapoh, those who 
are on foot; gaal, clothing or anything else laid out to sun, 
caacoh, all the things laid out to sun. An exception is qulan, 
married or united, plural quluquh. 
From this participial in /, are formed some active verbs with 
instrumental signification by adding ibeh. As this is a difficult 
point, it is best shown by examples. Qui qotze, to lie down; 
its participial is qotzol, he who is lying down; tin qotzolibeh, I 
lie down upon something, Tipe hun varabal qul, ruqin hun 
pop, tin qotzolibeh, Bring me a sleeping dress, and a mat, so that 
I may lie down upon it. So, gui quke, I sit down, ti qubulibeh, 
I sit down upon something; Dios nima ahauh, ru qukulibeh 
xt tan g,hacat puakin, God, the great Lord, is seated upon a seat 
of gold, or emeralds,
