THE INTHANSITITE VEEB.

§ loi. 2. Two tenses are formed from the present participle lt<T sutait.

 aik. The forms ^tcT fw'^ chhiau, flHr^ SM^az^ clihiauk, and 

 ^WcT f*"-*!^ SM^«?Y chhiaV are also used, but only in the first person. The 

 form 1^ 1%^f^ sutait chhiainli is used in the first person and second 

 person Honorific.

Feminine. 



The Feminine is "the same as the masculine, except that the feminine 

 form of the Present Participle, ^tf?r sutaif , is used instead of the masculine 

 sutait. E. g. ^^Rt eft sutait' cJihi, instead of ^ sutait chht. 

 The form l^f?T W% sufaif chhah (which might be expected as the 2nd 

 person Non-Honorific ) is not used, and in its place is used wf4 sutait' 

 cTiTialVn or ^rifci sutait' chhah' n. 



Note. In the above forms, when masculine, the final °cT -t of the present 

 participle may be, and usually is omitted. The Participle and auxiliary 

 then form one word. E. g. ^ sutait chhi, or ^5^^ sutaichhi. Similarly, 

 when feminine the final °f?f -t' of the participle may be omitted. E. g. ^dTd 

 tft sutait' chhi, or sutaichhi.
