The particles _rare_ and _re_ add a middling and not a great amount {146} of honor to the verbs to which they are added. The particle _rare_ is added mainly when we are talking about someone who is absent. It is formed by taking the _nu_ from the negative present and replacing (40 it with this particle; e.g., _aguerare,uru_ means 'I offer' when the person to whom the offering is made requires a middling degree of honor and respect (_reverentia_). This verb coincides letter for letter with the passive but is distinguished from it by the cases which it governs. The particle _re_ is placed after verbs of the second and third conjugation only; e.g., _iomare,uru_ 'to read' and _naravare,uru_ 'to learn,' said of a person having a good reputation. We speak in this way when speaking of those who are equal to us and the servants of our lord, but not of other servants, or nobles. The particles _saxemaxi_ and _xemaxi_ give the same degree of honor as _ari,u_ and _rare_ or _re_. These particles are added to the root of a first conjugation verb,[118] or to the negative present from which the _nu_ has been removed; _aguesaxemasu_ 'he offers.' _Maxi,u_ [_Xemaxi,u_] is added to the negative present of the second and third conjugation verbs after taking away _nu_; e.g., _iomaxemasu_ 'he reads,' and _naravaxemasu_ 'he learns.' The particles _saxerare,uru_ and _xerare,uru_ attribute great honor. The first is added to the negative present of verbs in the first conjugation[119] after the _nu_ is removed, and the second is added to the [other] negatives in the same way; e.g., _aguesaxeraruru_ 'I offer,' _iomaxeraruru_ 'I read,' _naravaxeraruru_ 'I learn.' Because these forms coincide letter for letter with the honorific causative, the particle _ari,u_ may be placed after the verb and the particle _vo_ may be placed before to avoid confusion; e.g., _yomaxe aru_ [_vo iomaxe aru_] 'I read' and _naravaxe aru_ [_vo naravaxe aru_] 'I learn.' The passive verb, concerning which see below, also permits the particle _saxerare,uru_; e.g., _viamavaresaxeraruru_ (99v) 'I am honored.' The particle _tamai,ó_ bestows the highest honor. We use it when speaking of God, saints, kings, or generals. It is added to the roots of verbs and conjugated in the third conjugation. It is placed after the root of the passive form when referring to God; e.g., _Deus filio, umare_ {147} _tamǒ toqi_ 'when the son of God was born,' _Deus agamerare tamǒ_ 'God is honored.' The particle _tate matçuri,u_ makes the meaning of the verb to which it is added humble. It is placed after the root of affirmative verbs; e.g., _Deus vo gotaixet ni zonji tate matçuru coto va ichi sugureta jen gia_ 'to love God is the supreme virtue.' This particle permits some degree of honor if _re_ is added to it after the final _e_ [_i_] has been changed to a. Thus, when speaking of the saints in respect to God, one says, (41 _Sancto Domingo, Deus vo gotaixet ni zonji tatematçurareta_ 'St. Dominic loved God.'
