Appendix IX.

EARLY MODERN FORMS OF THE VERBS.

IS.

We give only those forms which have not already been given in the body of the Grammar.

Dependent Present: ‑rab; (as in gurab, that it is, darab, to which or whom it is; munab, if it is not).

Obsolete Dependent Present: ‑aḋ; (as in gonaḋ, that it is, danaḋ, to which or whom it is). This form occurs frequently in early modern writers. A remnant of it is found in the word gioḋ or giḋ, though it is.

Past: fa.

The form fa of the past though frequently found in early modern writers is now obsolete.

Dependent Past: ‑r ḃa (sometimes written ‑r ḃo), as in gur ḃa, that it was; dar ḃa, to whom or which it was; munar ḃa, if it was not; ar ḃa, was it? níor ḃa, it was not.

The full form of the Dependent Past, though sometimes found in early modern writers is now contracted to ‑rḃ’ before vowels, and to ‑r before consonants.

Subjunctive: Dámaḋ (dá mbaḋ), if it were; gémaḋ (gé mbaḋ), though it were.
