Remark. — Chhan to love in Vayu = Muna in Quichna. is not a good word for 

 comparison because of its being of the aoristic class of transitives in " to." In a 

 tensed verb the resemblance to Quichna would have been more apparent. On the 

 other hand, I have given the Vayu dual as well as plural, because its dual form- 

 ative or chhik is almost identical with the Quichna plural sign or chik, whilst the 

 plural one differs, and nothing is more certain than that these signs are apt to 

 mingle and the dual to fall out of use. 



By referring to the above diagram of the verb ja, to eat, it will be seen that the 

 Vayu has many other forms expressly representative of the agent and object and 

 therefore more significant than some of those here collated with the Quichna forms. 



In Vayu the only forms which in the present state of the language refuse entirely 

 to mix in the stream of conjugation are those which express the action passing 

 from me to thee and no other. One cannot hslp imagining a system of conju- 

 gation with suffixed pronouns thus —

But the following explanations of the senses of the leading series of these forms 

 which is real (rhe subordinate is wholly hypothecical) will show how utterly such 

 a notion would mislead.
