MemarJc. — These verbs are aoristic in fact, though in the dual and plural they 

 are obliged to accommodate themselves to the inflexable forms of those numbers 

 and such (by and by will be seen) is the case also with the aoristic transitives in 

 "to." The reflex duals and plurals however always retain their own special signs 

 or na and chi which are interchangeable for the sake of euphony, na being pre- 

 ferred to "chi" in the dual to prevent cacophonous repetition of the ch.
