But at times " Chikana," whatever, and " Ena," that, are used 

 relatively, as " Chikana urn kajeea, ena eeng aiooma," what you say, 

 that I will listen to. 



Verbs. 



Verbs are either active or neuter. There is no passive voice. 



The Infinitive mood is formed by adding ted to the root. 



The present participle by adding tan or te. 



The Past participle by affixing kedte. 



In the active or transitive voice, the Present tense Indicative mood 

 adds to the root " tanna," in the neuter voice, " alcanna." 



Imperfect tense there is none, the Present tense being used, and 

 its Imperfect signification understood by the context. 



The Perfect tense is formed by adding in the active voice, n kidda, 

 keea, kenna, lidda, or tadda" to the root. In the neuter voice, " lena" 

 or u iena," sometimes u kenna." 



There is no Pluperfect tense, but greater completion is expressed by 

 conjugating the verb " chabtea," to finish, added to the root ; much 

 the same way as " chookna" in Hindustanee. 



The Future is formed by adding to the root eea or od, or sometimes 

 simply a, in which latter case the sound of the root is prolonged. 

 Except " nooitea," to drink, which makes " noonooa ;" and "rotea," 

 to gore (as a bull) " roroa." 



The Imperative is formed by adding (in the 2nd person singular) to 

 the root, " men" and " omen" or " ymen," if the root end with a con- 

 sonant. In the other persons kd precedes the pronoun, and the simple 

 root of the verb, which will be more clearly shown in conjugating. 

 In a negative sense, " alum" or " alo" is prefixed to the 2nd personal 

 pronoun, d being added to the root ; if in the 3rd person, singular, 

 dual, or plural " aloha" is prefixed to the pronoun, and the root alone 

 of the verb is used. 



The Subjunctive mood is vague and imperfect. In the Present and 

 Future tenses " redo" is added to the root, sometimes together with 

 the word " honang," " derang" or " tord" (signifying conditionality) 

 affixed. 



The Past tense is formed in the same way ; indeed there appears t< 

 be no Past Snbjunctive tense ; but sometimes the conditional terminal 

 " redo" is added to the Past perfect Indicative.
