The verbs are sometimes derived from nouns, sometimes from participles, sometimes from other verbs, and have reflexive, passive, frequentative, and other forms. Thus from _lana_, the name of a certain black dye, comes _lannatün_ to color with this dye, _alannatunna_ to color oneself with it, _alannattukuttun_ to let oneself be colored with it, _alanattukuttunnua_ to be colored with it. The infinitive ends in _in_, _ün_, _ùn_, _ân_, _unnua_, _ên_, and _ûn_. Those in _in_, _ün_, _ùn_, and _ân_ are transitive, in _unnua_ are passive and neuter, the others are transitive, intransitive, or neuter. The passive voice is formed by the medium of a verb of permission, thus: amalitin, to make. amalitikittin, to let make. amalitikittunnua, to be made. assimakin, to call. assimakuttün, to let call, assimakuttùnnua, to be called. The personal pronouns are united to the verbs as they are to the nouns. They precede all verbs except those whose infinitives terminate in _ên_, _in_, and _ân_, to which they are suffixed as a rule, but not always. When they follow the verb, the forms of the pronouns are either _de_, _bu_, _i_ he, _n_ she, it, _u_, _hu_, _je_ or _da_, _ba_, _la_, _ta_, _wa_, _ha_, _na_. The latter are used chiefly where the negative prefix _m_, _ma_ or _maya_ is employed. Examples: hallikebben, to rejoice. hallikebbéde, I rejoice. hallikebbébu, thou rejoicest. hallikebbéi, he rejoices. hallikebbên, she rejoices. hallikebbéu, we rejoice. hallikebbéhü, you rejoice. hallikebbéje, they rejoice. majauquan, to remain. majáuquada, I remain. majáuquaba, thou remainest. majáuquala, he remains. majáuquata, she remains. majáuquawa, we remain. majáuquaha, you remain. majáuquana, they remain. MOODS AND TENSES. Their verbs have four moods, the indicative, optative, imperative, and infinitive, and five tenses, one present, three preterites, and one future. The rules of their formation are simple. By changing the termination of the infinitive into _a_, we have the indicative present, into _bi_ the first preterite, into _buna_ the second preterite, into _kuba_ the third preterite, and into _pa_ the future. The conjugations are six in number, and many of the verbs are irregular. The following verb of the first conjugation illustrates the general rules for conjugation: _ayahaddin,_ to walk.
