"") Dual and plural and agento-objective as in the last 

 conjugation, only substituting phok for to, of 

 which the latter shows the ta root, internally 

 modified and the former, the iterate transitive 

 sign, elsewhere suppressed, here brought forward, 

 for phok-gnom and phongmi both depend on 

 pho'-ko being really phok-ko.

Thus are conjugated ta'ko, to decorticate, kho'ko, to crook, pu'ko, to awaken, 

 chi'ko, to bite, ne'ko, to give rest, lu'ko, to choose, li'ko, to lay down or throw 

 down, cha'ko, to put upon, to make come up, ye'ko, to shear or clear the ground 

 for cultivation, chho'ko, to sow, po'ko, to weigh or measure, chu'ko, to plane 

 wood, lo'ko, to turn over, &c. Observe that in all these the latent iterate sign of 

 the imperative whose presence is only indicated by the abrupt tone (ta'ko) is pre- 

 served in the conjugation, whence from a common crude, or ta to place and to 

 decorticate, comes all the difference of tangmi, tomi, tomi and tangmi takmi, 

 takmi in the indicative, whilst in the preterite there is only the difference of the 

 abrupt accent, takungmi, takum, takum, and ta'kungmi, ta'kum, ta'kum. The 

 change of vowel is confined to the three verbs tako, jako and pako. All other 

 transitives in " ko" conjugated from the sheer root as Se-ko, understand it, 

 follow the paradigm of tako, less that change of vowel ; as imperative Se-ko, 

 Se-chhe, Se-ne, indicative, sengmi, si£mi, semi, &c. Compare with the transitives 

 in 'ko as above those in 'po, as to'po aforegone. Both follow the Dravirian rule 

 of iteration only disguised for the sake of euphony.
