In these sentences the letters w and vare introduced before the inflec- 

 tion un, merely tor euphony^B sake, and to enable the speaker to otter 



Ihe final vowel ofthe aubatantive, and the inflective rowel, without pla- 

 cing both under the accent. It is to he remarked in these examples, 

 that the verh has a corresponding inflection with the noun, indicated by 

 the final mm«|mii n, ai in aagia-ii, objective of the verb to tore. This 

 is merely a modification of un, where it is requisite to employ it after 

 . 1 a (aw,) and it is applicable to nouns as well ts verba whenejn r 

 they end in that sound. Thus, in the phrase, he saw a chief, O wa- 

 bunia-n O gimlUn, both noun and rerb terminate in n. It is immaterial 

 to the S Qfl . which precedes. And tliis leads to the conclusion, which 

 ire, in some measure, compelled to 8tate, in anticipation of our re- 

 marks on the verh; That verbs must Dot only agree with their nomina- 

 in aumb r, person and gender (we use the latter term for want of 

 a m<>r<- appropriate one,) but also with their objectives. Hence the ob- 

 ;;i ii, in the above examples. Sometimes this sign is removed 

 the ending of the verh, to make room for the plural of the nomin- 

 . and is subjoined to the latter. Thus, 

 a a)n. 

 They love them, bin or them. 

 In this phrase the interposed syllable (wa) is, apparently, the plural 

 — it is a plural — of he — the latter !>' in ir. indicated ns usual.

. in the third person, is SOmetimefl supplied "by numerical inflections

■ in point The number of the nominative pronoun

without a verb in t : •-■, or when
