“ tana ” is only used as inflectional ending in the verb of the present 
tense, meaning “ to be ” “ idand ” to be, as a rule is likewise employed 
only in the present tense sing, and plur. It is often employed where we 
use the verb to have : amd adde paisd idana ? have you money ? lit. is 
there money with you ? 
ape cimin hor tdand how many men are you ? 
a7nd hoponku zdaiid have you children ? 
The verb used to make good for the want of the auxiliary verb to 
be is dohota’d, to remain ; which is used also in the present tense.
