 and so of all the rest.

Samples of the sense. Being eaten I shall cry out, Jayina bregna : being eaten 

 I cried out, Jatiua breti.* 



* Observe that the root bre, to cry out, is here conjugated as an intransitive. 

 Elsewhere 1 have given the same root conjugated as a transitive in the sense of to 

 summon. The infinitive and imperative (bre-cno, bre-to) are identical. Tiiis 

 double indicative conjugation from the same root of words having nearly identical 

 senses is very common, as uto, to fall and to fell, Jikko to be broken, and to break, 

 &c. Breto, the intransitive, is conjugated like gnito, to be afraid, the type of 

 regular intransitives in " to."
