both. The future perfect is likewise formed from 

 the characteristic particles of the perfect and the fu- 

 ture, and combines the signification of both. The 

 same may be observed with regard to the mixed, 

 which adopt the particles or augmentative syllables 

 of those tenses that approach nearest them in sig- 

 nification, the first using those of the future and im- 

 perfect, and the second those of the perfect, the fu- 

 ture and the imperfect. The same system, though 

 less obvious, occurs with little variation in the Latin 

 conjugations, the pluperfect amaveram being appa- 

 rently composed of the perfect amavi and the imper- 

 fect eram, and amavero of the same perfect and the 

 future ero. 



Having given a succinct view of the first inflex- 

 ions of the verb, I shall proceed to notice the second 

 in which it is equally abundant. Nouns ending in 

 OR,* are formed by changing the final 7i of the infi- 

 nitive into voe or ve, as eluvoe or eluve^ the giver. 

 Those implying action terminate in ue, aly om^ uity 

 and um. The infinitive itself becomes a noun, as 

 thecan^ signifies both to pass and a passage. Those 

 called in the Latin nouns in bilis, are formed by 

 the interposition of the particle val with a participle, 

 as eluYAhluy donable, (or that which may be given), 

 ayu\Ai.luy amiable, and become negatives by the 

 farther interposition of the particle no. Abstract 

 nouns are very frequent and generally terminate in 

 gen^ as ayuvalgen^ amiableness, butagen^ greatness. 

 The compound which in Latin end in etum, and 



* The Spanish or Latin termination is here meant.
