OPTATIVE MOOD.
This mood appears to have been anciently used with cáne, would that it might be! but now in general it is not so understood. The phrase may be deemed to be in the Optative, although it does not express that entirely, being formed by the union of the Imperative above with venesma, even though.
| Venésmane hiósguam, | Venésmane hiósguadauh, |
| I would that it might be, or, | I would that it might be, or, |
| Even though I may write. | Even though I may be written. |
