Concerning the compounded verbs, it is to be observed, that, whereas their auxiliary verbs are but few, they make use of several particles to supply their place, which are annexed to the simple verbs, and so make them compounded verbs, yet these particles by themselves are not used, nor of any signification. And by this connection or composition the simple verbs change their conjugation. As for example, First, in this expression, they used to do so and so, the composition is formed thus; of the simple verb _Erminpok_, he washes himself, in the composition is made _Ermingarace_, he uses to wash himself. _Kieavok_, he weeps; _Kieeillarau_, he uses to weep; _Aularpok_, he goes from home; _Aulararau_, he uses to go from home.
