ye_ which, &c. The relatives are _iney_ who, _chem_ what, _ta_ or _ga_ that, &c. The verbs all terminate in the syllables _an, en, in, an, un, un_; and are all regulated by a single conjugation, having all the voices, moods, and tenses of the Latin, with three or four others, and the singular dual and plural like the Greek. The terminations of the present tense of each mood form the roots of all the other tenses of the same mood, which are distinguished by certain particles, as _che_ in the second present, _bu_ in the imperfect, _uje_ in the perfect, &c. as in the following example, which are placed between the radical and the final _n_. Passive verbs are formed by the auxiliary _gen_, between the radical and final _n_. Impersonal verbs by the particle _am_ added to the radical. The following example of the verb _elun_ to give, will serve as a model for all the other verbs in the language without exception, as there is but one conjugation and no irregular verbs. It is to be noticed, that the first present of all the verbs is used, as our compound preterite: Thus _elun_ signifies I give or I have given; while the second present is strictly confined to the present time.
