Second, when the expression runs thus, he comes to do this or that, it is turned in this manner. _Ermigiartorpok_, he comes to wash himself; _Aglegiartorpok_, he comes to write. And so in all other compositions. But there are not only verbs compounded with one, but sometimes with two, three, or more particles joined to the verb, when there is a longer sentence to be expressed. And for this reason, the words and particles undergo a great many changes and variations, inasmuch as they retain but certain radical letters, the rest either being thrown away and quite lost, or else changed for others. As for instance, _Aulisariartorasuarpok_, he made haste to go out a fishing. Here three verbs are joined together in one. _Aulisarpok_, he fishes; _Peartorpok_, to go about something; and _Pinnesuarpok_, to make haste. Again, _Aglekkinniarit_, endeavour to write better. Here we have another threefold composition. First, _Aglekpok_, he writes; then _Pekipok_, to mend, or do better, and at last _Pinniarpok_, to endeavour. From whence comes the verb _Aglikkinniarpok_, he endeavours to write better; in the imperative mood, _Aglekkinniarit_, as above. _The Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer, translated into the Greenland Language._ ARTICLE I.
