the verb, " jometea," to eat, to the root of the expletive verb, as " nel- 

 joomkidalle," we all saw it (thoroughly) ; " aioomjommen," listen (atten- 

 tively) ; " Greetee jom-meen," sleep (soundly). And should the verb 

 be of a violent nature (referring to some violent act) the particle 

 " tab" between the root and inflection gives force to the meaning, as 

 " Groitabkiddai," he slew him (outright) ; " Toltab kidalle," we bound 

 him (forthwith) ; " Neertabmen," Run (quickly) fly ! so " Ooitea" is 

 to jump, and " Ooitabtea," to bound (as a tiger). 



Kd before the pronoun gives the verb a negative form, as has been 

 before explained in describing the Imperative mood. 



There is no verb " to have" possession being denoted in the same 

 manner as in Hindustani. / have, " Eengtra minna" — " Mere pas hye." 



From the foregoing remarks may be gathered, that in the active or 

 transitive voice — 



The present terminal is, u Tanna." 



The past, " Kidda, tadda, lidda, henna or Jceea." 



In the Neuter Voice — 

 The present terminal is, " ake?ma. ,J 

 The past, " iena or Una ;" 



In either Voice- 



The conditional, subjunctive, \ u 

 or potential mood terminate in j 



or " TcedradoT 



All these terminals being of course subject to the inflections of their 

 pronouns, which are, as has been said, as often affixed as prefixed. 



A nondescript species of Verb is used in rendering the sentence 

 " what shall or can I, (thou, he, &c.) do f 



Futwe and Present.
