The Future of Necessity. 
1. QEL^w-Zz^-ikan-man “ I am to do” or “ ought to do” or 
“ be done.”

2. QELy^-Zw^-ikan-san “ thou art to do,” &c. 
3. QELy/m-^-ikan “ he is to do” &c. 
The Auxiliaries in the Potential form give us fresh Tenses. Thus 
ir-matc in the Potential is ir-sa, and we may take 
IX. The Potential Auxiliary ‘ ir-sa’ 
( a .) with the Continuatiye Participle — 
Q'KLar-ir-sa-m, &c. \_(lit.) the possibility of continuous doing may 
be mine.] This would evidently mean “ I may be (continuously) doing” 
or “ about doing.” But the form qel-scdm is more commonly used. 
This Tense may be called 
The Future-Present Potential. 
1. QELar-irsa’m “ I might be about doing.” 
2. QELdr-irsa-’ng “thou mightest be about doing.” 
3. QELdr-irsa “ he might be about doing” &c. 
X. The Potential Auxiliary ‘ bol-sa’ makes 
(a .) with the Indefinite Participle— 
qel glian-bol-sa’m, &c. Literally, “ the action of doing may become 
mine,” i. e., “I may have done” [see explanation of qel-ghan-im bar\. 
This may be called 
The Indefinite Past Potential. 
1. QELy7wm-bolsa-’m “ I may have done.” 
2. QELyA<m-bolsa-’ng “ thou mayest have done.” 
3. QELy7i«w-bolsa “ he may have done” &c. 
(b.) with the Future Participle of Probability— 
QELgJm-diq bol-sa’m, &c. Literally “ the probability of future doing 
may become mine,” i. e., “ I may be likely to do.” This is 
The Future Potential. 
1. QELy^-J/g'-bolsa-’m “ I may be likely to do.” 
2. QELyAzj-^Z^-bolsa-’ng “ thou mayest be likely to do.” 
3. QELy^-^'^-holsa “ he may he likely to do” &c. 
This completes that part of the Turki Verb Conjugation which is 
effected simply by the apposition of the 10 co-efficient elements respective¬ 
ly to the several stem-elements. But there is also a set of Tenses formed 
from the Boot by means of some special co-efficients which are not applica¬ 
ble to any of the other stem-elements (the Participles). Some of these 
Tenses are defective. They are :
