Remark — Of the above two the first mood is formed by the root repeated with 

 intervening reflex sign, and the substantive verb no, to be. The second is formed 

 by the same treatment of the root and the reflex form of the verb pa, to do, for 

 which see conjugation V. The 2nd or reciprocal mood is hardly useable in the 

 singular number. According t& this paradigm of the neuter verb to come, are 

 conjugated also the verbs Gra to be dilatory, Ji, to ripen (fruit), Ri, to rot, Se, to 

 fruit, Go, to live, Yu, to descend, Vi, to be intoxicated, Phwe to quarrel, and, in a 

 word, all words presenting a sheer root in the imperative and which are all neuters. 

 Essentially the same is the conjugation of neuters having added to the sheer root 

 a conjunct and now (quoad force or meaning) obsolete consonant* which conso- 

 nant, however, according as it is labial, guttural or dental, occasions some slight
