49. In the examples about to be given, it will be observed that
_That_ is never used, whether it correspond to the quod or the ut
of the Latin. Nee eme vitz?n, nap hibe, I see that you are lax; Nee
agu?teran, Domincotze amo misa ea vitzaca, I know that you have not
heard mass Sunday; where vitzaca or vitz?cauh is passive perfect, and
the literal rendering is, I know, on Sunday your mass was not heard.
I desire that you may live here, Nee eme iuide c?teo naqu?m, in which
c?teo is an active perfect participle, and the verb naqu?m, I desire,
ever requires this construction. The verb ?queem, I command, is
peculiar likewise in one respect: in order to say I command you that
you work, Nee eme pana?aoqueem is said; pana?aoqueem being composed of
two words, of which panauatze, I will work, is from pana?an, work, the
tze final being taken away and substituted by ?queem.
50. The equivalent of _Because_, nan?vari, can be thus shown. I become
angry because you are lax, Nee z?nauan, ne n?uari nap h?been: with the
particle ar?de, which means because, it may be elegantly expressed,
Nap h?been, aredene zinauan, which, word for word, is, You are lax,
for that I become angry. Here are other instances: Because I am sick
I do not work, Nee ca panauan, nan?uarine cocotzem; in another manner,
Nee cocotzem, ar?dene ca panauan, or Nee no c?cotzihdade ca panauan,
which corresponds to this, I, because of my infirmity, do not work.
