_Mairu mai to no dancó ni qivamatta_ 'it was resolved that he not go,' _maitte nochi no dancó_ 'the consultation he arrived after,' _varambe cara no catagui_ 'a custom from youth,' _xô tame no chôgui gia_ (22) 'this is the plan (_ars_) according to which it will be done,' _anofito no vo toró_ 'I shall take what belongs to that man.' This ends the note on relative pronouns. _The Formation of the Verb and Its Conjugation_[70] The verbs in Japanese have no number or person. These distinctions are indicated instead by the particles used in the formation of the plurals and in the declensions. There are three affirmative conjugations and the same number of negative. The root (_radix_) of the verb does not by itself indicate tense. For this reason it is necessary to conjugate the verb in order to show the tenses. All the verbs of the first conjugation[71] end in e. Those ending in _gi_ or _ji_, together with _xi_ and _maraxi_, although they end in _i_, are also in the first conjugation. If the root ends in _de_ or _gi_, the present form is made by changing them to _zzuru_; e.g., _fagi_ forms its present in _fazzuru_ and means 'to blush,' _de_ becomes _zzuru_ and means 'to leave.' If the root ends in _je_ or _ji_ it changes in the present to _zuru_; e.g., _maje:mazuru_ 'to mix,' _anji:anzuru_ 'to consider.' If they end in _xe_ they change to _suru_; e.g., _avaxe:avasuru_ 'to join.' _Xi_ and _maraxi_, which (as we have said) are in the first conjugation,[72] change _xi_ to _suru_; e.g., _xi:suru_ 'to do,' _maraxi:marasuru_ which also means 'to do.' If the root ends in _te_ it changes to _tçuru_; e.g., _sodate:sodatçuru_ 'to nourish, or support.' The remaining roots which end in _e_ change, in their separate ways, the _e_ to _uru_; e.g., _ague:aguru_ 'to offer,' _nigue:niguru_ 'to run away.'
