ADVERB. 



[Extra No. 



The particles i and ish. These particles are" appended to -cerbs and 

 take the place of the pronouns of the 3rd person, when not expressed 

 before the verb. The singular form is i and the plural ish, but in practice 

 they are used almost indiscriminately. They express (1) the agent of the 

 verb in the 3rd person ; (2) the object of an action, or the instrument by 

 which it was performed ; e. g., 



(1) khu^Aa, did or done
