COMPLETIVE VERB.

25. This gives completeness to the signification of the word out of

which it is made so full that nothing remains further, and is formed

of the future taking away the final tze, and placing suam instead, as,

baán, I eat; bétze, I will eat; besuam, I eat until I have finished

it all; todam, I leave; todetz, I will leave; todesuam, I leave

forever,--at once. The penitent may say, Oquine haóna no cananacemca

todesuatze, Now, forevermore, I will leave my sins; the perfect being

formed in coari, and the future in uatze.
