TAAN.

36. _The Particle_ taan compounded with a substantive, signifies to

do, as, sibúrtaan, to make girdles composed of sibúra, band; zántaan,

to make arrows, zamát signifying arrow; vacotaan, to make bow, from

vácotzi, that instrument; but when it is component of the verb it

signifies, I say that I wish, thus from nósquen, I return, nósquitaan

is made, signifying, I say that I wish to return, and from pánauan,

labor, is pánauataan, I say that I wish to labor.
