This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1845 Excerpt: ...sing, pireri, he who sings; tzipeni, to live, tzipeti, he who lives. Nouns which may supply the participle passive, are formed by adding ta to the preterite of the indicative. From pacn preterite of pahaca, is formed pacata, that which is carried, a burthen; from tireca preterite of tirehaca, I eat, is formed tirecata, that which is eaten, food.

Quare is reflective; tarerataquarehaca, I make another till the ground for me. Tza, immediately; mitani, to open; mitzatani, to open immediately. Pera and betepera, signify reciprocity.
