OF PARTICIPLES.

A Participle is a word derived from a Verb, and has the nature of a verb

and also of an adjective.

Verbs have two participles, the present and the perfect.

The present participle denotes action or being continued, but not

finished. It generally ends in _ing_, _eng_, or _g_; as, Tebahkooneding,

Ruling, &c.

The perfect participle denotes action or being, finished. This can also

be distinguished by its ending in _ed_ or _d_; as Pahpid, laughed;

Shoshomequanid, smiled.
