1. Simple Tenses. (a) A final 3 h is merely a graphic sign to shew that the word ends in a vowel, and hence should be treated as non-existent.
(6) A form ending in a consonant takes – a, (u) or (usually omitted) as a junction vowel, in which case if the consonant is k, it becomes h; e. g., Gjyw góra-k, thou wilt send, pjgua sôzal(a)-m, thou wilt send me.22
.(0)av (au) becomes , 4 i and , = io (iu) becomes sí yô ; e. g., 9;gar sózau, we shall send, -jjer sőző-t, we shall send thee; sjgó sốziu, you will seud, paigao sốzyô-m, you will send me.
(a) o t becomes the [if followed by another suffix]; 6.9, -jów do tse süzu-t, he was sent by thee do tse súz"th(a)-m, he was sent by thee to me.

eq-e becomes موس (2) .
.6l من رك becomes
م م ; موس

دوت
-

an tas. That is to say, the pronoon becomes separatel from the verb and ceases to be a suffix.
(n) If another suffix is added after w an, the latter becomes wy - On; e. 9., wes dima-n, I will give him, dimôn(a)-vą, I will give him to you.23
2 Compound Tenses. In these the suflxes are added, according to the foregoing rules, to the auxiliary verb; e. g., wmta chkus(a)-» (him).
Double Suffixes. 50. In the Aorist, Perfect, and Plaperfect we meet with Double suffixes (see Aorist). One suffix is that of the Instrumuntal. The other, that of the Nominative, Dative, or Accusative,

thee (was) forsaken-by-thee I I, .e., by thee was I forsaken, thon forsookost *The translator in responsible for most of these examples.
