APPLICATIVE VERB.

23. When the action is for, by, or through, ("para ó por,") this verb

is used, having its termination in dem or den, perfect, deri, and

future, detze; as pánauan, work; whence is formed pánauiden, which is

the applicative, so that to say, I work for you, the phrase is Nee eme

pánauiden; and the mother to express, My son has failed me, (died),

says, No nótzi múquideri; although in the place of this applicative

the preposition betzéguai, for, is used likewise, or de, by; as,

Christ died for us, Cristo tamo betzéguai, or tamóde múqui.
