Contingent Mood. 



I may (perhaps) go. 



It is expressed by the future in the alternative way, e. g. lagna ma lagna, ma 

 teutu= I shall go, shall not go, I don't know = I may go, or perhaps 1 shall go, 

 perhaps not, (root, la, to go). 



Potential Mood. 



It is formed by adding ne to the root of any main verb (e. g. la to go) and 

 then subjoining the several conjugational forms of the subsidiary verb to can, 

 which is a regular transitive in " po." This, not having been given above, shall 

 be fully set down here, though it differ not much, save eupbonically, from the 

 foregone samples of tracsitives, especially breto.*

* Compare chap-cho, chap-po, chab-u, chab-i, chab-a, chap-tong, cham-i with 

 bre-cho, bre-to, bret-u, bret-i, bret-a, bret-tong, bre-ti ; and observe in regard 

 to the former that its radical p becomes b before a vowel and m before a nasal 

 (n. m), but remains p before a sibilant or hard dental. It is so in all transitives 

 in po, of all which chappo is a perfect sample.
