The Demonstrative Pronouns are Beye, this ; and Boyu, that i 

 with these plurals, Beyphur, these ; and Boyphur, those. 



The Interrogative Pronouns, are Shur, who ? Bobe, which ? 

 and Ma, what ?

Of Verbs. 

 The Substantive verb, To be, appears to be wholly wanting in Ka- 

 chari ; its place is often supplied by the verb Dang, exist. Thus : Dui 

 dang, it is water. 



All verbs may be conjugated after the form of the following para- 

 digm. 



Indicative Mood. 



Present. Ja-dang, am eating. Thang-dang, am going. Mau-dang, 

 am doing. 

 Here the verb Dang, exist, is added to the root of the verb as an 

 auxiliary.
