1. QEL?’s^-im bar, “ I have to do.” 
2. q&hish-mg-bar “ thou hast to do.” 
3. q^hisli-\-bdr “ he has to’ do.” 
1. QELzs^-imiz-Sar “ we have to do.” 
2. QEiis^-ingiz-bdr “ ye have to do.” 
3. QEL^sA-ilar-Mr “ they have to do.” 
[JV. _Z?.—As the form-’ m-bar means “ I have,” the parallel is com¬ 
plete with “ aimerai” (aimer ai) &c. See Max Muller’s Science of Lan¬ 
guage, Yol. 1, p. 258, Fifth Edition.] 
( b .) qel -maq-chi bol-dum , &c. This is the noun of the Agent (see 
‘‘Formation of Nouns”) derived from the Infinitive by the addition of the 
affix chi, with the Past of the verb bol-mdq (to become). The literal mean- 
ins: therefore is : “I have become the doer” or “ the one who has to do.” As 
O 
it may be presumed that a person only becomes so of his own free will, 
this exj)ression may be translated : I have agreed to do ;” and in this sense 
it is commonly used. 
1. q^jjmdq-chi-bold\xm “ I have agreed to do.” 
2. QEi>mdq-chi-boldxmg “ thou hast agreed to do.” 
3. QELmaq-chi-boldi “ he has agreed to do.” 
1. QEhmdq-clii-boldx)L<\ “ we” &c. 
2. q&Lmdq-chi-bold\mg\z “ ye” &c. 
3. qELmaq-chi-boldW^r “ they” &c. 
Other expressions formed similarly from other tenses of the verb bol- 
maq may also be used, but they are less common, and will, moreover, sug¬ 
gest themselves. 
(c.) qel a-durghan* bol-dum, &c. This compound qela-durghan (see 
below: “ Verbal Adjectives”) means: “about to do.” Hence the present 
expression is equivalent to : “I have become about to do.” There is more 
action of the will expressed here than in the last [for q^L-maq-chi is only “ one 
who has do,” whereas qela-durghan means “about to do (actually)”]. There¬ 
fore while the previous form is only used in the sense of “ I have agreed to 
do,” the present expression implies active choice, viz., “ I have determined” 
or “ formed the resolution to do.” 
1. qELa-durghan (qelatqan) boldmw “ I have determined to do.” 
2. qELa-durghan-boldxmg “ thou” &c. 
3. qEha-durghan-boldi “ he” &c. 
1. q&La-durghan boldu<\ “ we” &c. 
2. QELa-durghan boldung\z “ ye” &c. 
3. qsha-durghan bolder “ they” &c.
