CONVERSIVE VERB.
27. When a thing changes so as to pass from one to another form
or quality, this verb is used. Earth, tevat; genitive, teuhte;
accusative, teuhta, whence comes the verb te?htuun, I make me
earth,--as do the sticks become, and bodies that rot. So d?hmetum,
make man, explains the mystery of the incarnation, as, God the Son
made himself man for us, Dios noqu?t tam?de, or tamo, betzeguai
d?hmetui. So batuum, is made water, bat, water; nas?rtaan, I throw
away; nas?rtuun, is thrown away, to become corruption; of which the
perfect is tui, the future, tutze.
28. There are some _Compound Verbs_ which end in donon, signifying
to go to do something, which appear to be formed from the future,
omitting the last syllable tze, and substituting donon, as am?donon, I
go to hunt; am?n being, I hunt; the future am?tze; cum?ndonon, I go to
gather wood, from cum?nan, I gather wood, future cumantze; baud?non,
I go to bring water, formed of bat, water; vun, the future of vtze,
bring, and donon, which has the perfect doni, and future dontze.
29. The termination guan, is usually a sign of the _Active Verb_, as
in m?tzguan, I begin: m?guan, or m?huan, I plough, and is added by
the natives to some Spanish words they use, such are perdon?roguan,
I pardon; ayun?roguan, I fast; vel?roguan, I watch.
