Another mode that serves for the Infinitive, is that after a verb
of motion, the future of the verb is used, as to express, I come to
you to say, Nee eme queitudetze g?erem: here, Nee is I; eme, to you;
g?erem, or ?erem, I come, and queitudetze the future of the verb
queituden, I say, or make known.
GERUNDS.
The gerund in _di_ is found in the expression: Already arrived the
time of labor; for which, taking the preterite p?nauhri, the verb
p?nauan signifying labor, add dagua, time, and for arrived use
hass?de, the preterite of h?ssem, followed by the de, particle,
signifying already, and the phrase is formed p?nauhridagua hasside.
The gerund in _do_ is found in the phrase Vus h?quedo panavame, the
boys playing, work, in which vus is boys, h?quedo or h?queco, the
gerund of hoquen, play, and panavame, the plural of p?navan, work. The
passive voice has likewise the gerund, as for example: Nap s?criuhdo
cotz?m, Whilst thou art shorn, sleepest; here nap cotz?m is, you
sleep, s?criuhdo is the gerund in do passive of the verb sic?n, and
toasquilo, hair.
The gerund in _dum_, and supine joined to a verb of motion is
equivalent to the future as before stated in the second mode of the
infinitive; but should there be no verb of movement with the gerund
in dum, the particle betz?uai, for, is used, as this suffices for
payment, (hoc ad solvendum sufficit,) Veride hasem ov?de betz?guai;
veride meaning this, hasem, suffices; ovide betz?vai, for payment;
ov?den signifying pay.
