made ’ (masc.). Its feminine is Tear an. Examples of its use are,—

paran u ), this lesson is to be read. 
yih puth 1 (fern.) cMh parah this book is to be read. 
This adjective is used in a peculiar idiom with the verb gatsh , 
go, be proper (Cf. French ga ira ). The past of this verb, in this sense 
is JTW ggtsh w , not jvfa gauv. It is billy used in the future and past 
tenses, not in the present. Examples of the idiom are (ix. i. 42). 
*TTT«r (or iTT^«r) ts a h gatshakh margn u (or marun u ) you 
deserve a beating, literally you will go with propriety to be beaten. 
31% tse gatshi suh margn u , you ought to beat him, 
'n 
literally, he will go to be beaten by you. 
31% aj*TT«r *TR??r ise gatshi s a zanan a 7nargh, you should beat 
that woman, literally, that woman will go to be beaten (fern.) by you. 
3fW 3^%^ 3TK*T tse ggtsh u suh nechyuv 11 maran u , you should 
SJ 'i 
have beaten that boy, lit., that boy went to be beaten by you. 
3i w ^ tse ggtsh& s a zanan a mar ah , you should have 
beaten that woman. 
The same form is used with the verb ^r?r lag , be proper, in much 
the same sense. This is only used in the Future and Past Conditional 
tenses (ix. i. 43). Thus,— 
?lci ^ 3i^»r tat u lagi tse gatshan u , you should go there. Here 
the participle is impersonal, and the phrase is literally, the going there 
by y°u will be proper. If the object is feminine, the participle must 
be feminine. Thus,— 
^ 3TPC5T aT*ri«T tse lagi margh s a zanan a , you should beat that 
woman, literally, that woman will be proper to be beaten by you. 
So, also in the Past Conditional rjrf *3%% tgt u lagihe gatshun v ' 
S* O'* 
one (I, you, &c.) should have gone there. 
The root paz , be proper, is used in exactly the same way 
(ix. i. 44). Thus, ^ 3TT^*T tse pazilie suh marun u you should 
have beaten him. Lit. He would have been proper to be beaten by you.
