3. Hence, the only inseparable form of the personal pronoun is to be found when it governs the verb. In this case the forms are:
| Sa-ra=I | Ha-ra=we |
| Wa-ra=thou | S`a-ru=ye |
| Ui=he | U-bart`=they. |
In sa-ra, wa-ra, ha-ra, s`a-ra, the -ra is non radical. The word u-bart` is a compound.
The ordinal=first is achani. This seems formed from aka=one.
The ordinal=second is agi. This seems unconnected with the word wi-=two; just as in English, second has no etymological connection with two.
The remaining ordinals are formed, by affixing -nto, and (in some case) prefixing -a; as
| Cardinals. | Ordinals. | |
|---|---|---|
| 3, | Chi-ba[11] | A-chi-nto |
| 4, | P`s`i-ba | A-p`s`i-nto |
| 5, | Chu-ba | A-chu-nto |
| 6, | F-ba | F-into |
| 7, | Bis`-ba | Bs-into |
| 8, | Aa-ba | A-a-nto |
| 9, | S`-ba | S`b-into |
| 10, | S`wa-ba | Sw-ento. |
In the Absné verbs the distinction of time is the only distinction denoted by any approach to the character of an inflection; and here the change has so thoroughly the appearance of having been effected by the addition of some separate and independent words, that it is doubtful whether any of the following forms can be considered as true inflections.
Root, C'wis`l=ride
| 1. | Present, | C'wis`l-ap=I ride[12]=equito. |
| 2. | Present, | C'wis`l-oit=I am riding. |
| Imperfect, | C'wis`l-an=equitabam. | |
| Perfect, | C'wis`l-it=equitavi. | |
| Plusquamperfect, | C'wis`l-chén=equitaveram. | |
| Future, | C'wis`l-as`t=equitabo. |
