- We as used throughout this table stands for they and I; it is a special dual of which he
and I is the dual. There is another corresponding form, thou and I, ye and they, which has boen omitted here. But there does not appear to be any indefinite plural, nor any general form ye, they and I. The confusion between a, a, and b, b, is owing to etsa, esta, having no objective case. In the two first transitions, te makes g (they) in the obj. case. In the two other, te puts ti$a and tela in that case. . . , This is obviated in the transitions c, c, and d, d, because awtsa and awsta have each an objective case, viz. awka and awgina. , _, . , r This in the only instance where g does not stand for the 3d person plural. It is used for the 1st sing, nominative. But ungya which means I- " thee, would seem sufficient.
