Verbs are either simple or compound. The simple are those springs or energic signs in human speech, which, mark the relation and connection of the subject and attribute of a proposition; and affirm or deny the agreement or disagreement betwixt things, as, man _is_ an animal. Compound or concrete verbs also include adjectives and participles; or the qualities and attributes of the subject of a proposition, as, man _thinks_ or think is; sometimes only the subject, as _mae_, _eimi_, _I am_, or _sum_; and frequently the subject, affirmation and attribute, as, _walketh_, man is upon action. In some dialects verbs have been so modified, as to denote or imply the modes, times, persons, genders, and numbers of the things affirmed; and nominally distinguished, as verbs active, passive, neuter, personal, impersonal, regular, irregular, auxiliary, and substantive; tho’ according to their real use and signification, all verbs seem to be substantive and auxiliary, and either singly, or conjunctively, with adjectives or participles, formed into attributive or compound verbs, express all modes of actions and affirmations, as appears by the following instances; sum, I am, or, _it is man’s existence_, es, the second person created or the feminine gender, est, the second, first, and a third person born of the first and second, fui, _I have lived or been_, fuisti, _thou hast lived or been_, fuit, he the person born, hath lived or been; amo, I love or _am for a woman_, the first person, amas, the feminine the second person, amat, the third person produced, the third person, am-avi for ui in fui, _he has loved or been loved_, the past tense; doceo, I teach or _give the lowering action to man_, the first person, doc-es, the second person or feminine gender, doc-et the third proceeding from the other two, doc-ui, as in fui, I have lived or been taught, the past tense; lego I read or _recall_, the first person, leg-is the second, leg-it the third, and leg-i, _man read_ the past; audio, I hear, or, _spring the passive sense_, au-di-is, au-di-it and au-di-vi, I have lived or been heard; and the conjugating particles seem to be the degrees of comparison, as, a, e, i, or as, es is, male, female, mankind, or earth, water and fire, or motion and existences in general; and the persons of U _man_, and thence all things of the masculine gender the first person, as, es, or is signifying the feminine in different degrees and qualities, the second, and at, et, it, the rest of mankind and things, the third person, am-us, em-us, im-us, all men of the male kind of the first person plural, atis, etis, itis, all except the first person singular of the second, and ant, ent, int, all mankind and things in different degrees, except the first and second person singular, of the third person plural; and thus may be explained all the Latin and Greek modes of conjugating verbs.
