CONTINUATIVE VERB.

24. This verb serves to continue the action, and is made from the

future, omitting the tze and substituting sem or sen, as nenérsem, I

am continually talking, from nehren, I speak; the future, nenértze;

biquesen, I am thus singing, from biquen, I sing; future, bequetze,

for which there appearing to be no perfect, the imperfect, bíquesenru

may be used, and the same is the case with the words that end in hon,

as merihon, go running; nenerhon, be speaking; biquehon, be singing,

of which the future termination is sintze, as nenérsintze.
