Optative Mood.

 sense, and the neuter form dakgnom being also the passive form, dakgnom I 

 desire or am desired ; the latter sense transferred to root. With the synonymous 

 verb yot', to like, the voices can be distinguished, yosto being the active transitive 

 and yosung the passive, hence we have as optative active and passive.

* The mark 7 placed before some of these forms indicates that they are in- 

 cluded in the more ordinary forms of conjugation. They are repeated here for 

 illustration. The change of sense in dual and plural of preterite shows, in con- 

 junction with the whole system of conjugation, how restive the language is under 

 these trammels.
