_Qiqi,u_ means to hear and _uqetamavari,u_ and _uqetamóri,u_ mean to hear in a way which honors the person heard; e.g., _goiqen vo uqetamǒtta_ 'I heard your advice.' _Móxi ague,uru_ means to speak in a way which humbles oneself while bestowing honor on the person being addressed. _Móxi ire,uru_ means to speak between equals (_equales_). _Chómon xi,uru_ means to listen to the word of God. _Goranji,zuru_ or _goranjerare,uru_ is to look at a noble thing. _Xi,uru_ means to do in common way, _itaxi,u_ means to do in a cultivated way, and _tçucamatçuri,u_ means to do in a humble way. _Cautionary Remarks on the Conjugations of the Verb_[122] The particle _nama_ placed before any verb in any tense means that the action has been done poorly or in an incomplete manner; e.g., _nama aró_ 'I wash poorly,' _nama iaqu_ 'I am incompletely broiled.' {149} If the particles _tçui_, _cai_, _uchi_, _faxe_, _voi_, _ai_, and _tori_[123] are placed in front of a verb they do not change the meaning, but they add emphasis; e.g., _uchi cobosu_ has the same meaning as _cobosu_ 'I pour,' _faxe noboru_ is the same as _noboru_ 'I ascend,' _voxi comi,u_ is the same as _comi,u_ 'I enclose,' _ai cavari,u_ is the same as _cavari,u_ 'I am changed,' _tçui mavari,u_ is the same as _mavari,u_ 'I go around,' and _tori firogue,uru_ is the same as _firogue,uru_ 'I spread out.' The particle _qitte_ is the gerund in _Do_ for the verb _qiri,u_ and when it is placed after the roots of certain verbs it gives them great emphasis; e.g., _tanomiqitte_ 'imploring with great prayers,' _vomoiqitte_ (43 'assuming a strong resolution.' The verbs _tanomiqiri,u_ and _vomoiqiri,u_ are also used. The particle _ma_, when placed in front of certain verbs and nouns, gives them a stronger meaning; e.g., _mamucai_ 'quite present,' _macuroi_ 'completely black.' The particle, or better root of the verb, _macari,u_, when placed before verbs of motion, makes the verbs modest and a bit more cultivated; e.g., _macari noboru_ 'I ascend,' _macari cudari,u_ 'I descend,' and _macari i,iru_ 'I am present.' The particle _va_ placed after a sentence confirms what has been said before, as one might boast of making a prediction; e.g., _fune va cuchinotçu ie iru va_ 'the ship calls at Kuchinotsu; and, if he says so or not, I say so,' _aru va_ 'see if it is not as I have said.' The particle _aidani_ means 'between' in the sense of the time consumed in performing an action; e.g., _agura aidani_ [_aguru aidani_] 'while offering,' _iôda aidani_ 'while he read,' _naravózuru aidani_ 'while he will learn.'
