have happy thoughts, wegia, I am angry; wegiadase, immediate revenge; ankedase, I reflect; wonmajae, I suffer; -iwnmajadase, I feel grieved, etc. Dr. Rand considers those Quisitive Verbs which are formed by an inflection of the substantive to express the idea that it is sought for; for example pebundkunaga, I seek to procure bread ; teamwaga, I hunt moose-meat, sooleawaga, I work for money. The termination ag&klumi implies going on a begging expedition for bread, meat or money, according to the stem used. Verbs take forms to express cause, manner and instrument, in addition to the simple action. The substantive keniskwa, a point, be¬ comes a simple transitive verb keniskwadoo, I point it, it also takes forms to indicate the manner of pointing a thing,—keniskoosum, I whittle it to a point, kgniskw&gitoo, I grind or file it to a point, keniskwagoodam, I hammer it to a point, keniskwagesum, I clip it to a point, keniskoosaktam, I dress a stone to a point, keniskoodam, I hew wood to a point, keniskoobestoo, I run (melt) it to a point. The diminutive form tcetc, jaje, or ses, may be attached to verbs as to nouns and adjectives; and all verbs become Frequentative by prefixing the letter 'e', so that pemea, I walk, becomes epetnea, I am accustomed to walk. It is therefore safe to say that from one root as many as thirty forms may spring, each to be conjugated indepen¬ dently through every voice, mood, tense, number and person, animate and inanimate, positive and negative; there are the reciprocal relations to be studied also; and Dr. Rand horrified his teacher by asking him the Micmac for 'I cook myself,' and 'we cook each other.' He replied after a long pause that though we cannot cook ourselves, and would not cook each other, it is easy to say wisidgw&lse', and wiskdgw&ltool- leek. There are five moods besides the participles, named respectively : Indicative, Subjunctive, Imperative, Potential and Infinitive. There are nine tenses in the Indicative Mood, with additional interrogative forms in three of them. There are three numbers, the Singular, Dual and Plural; the Dual being used for a family or family-party as well as for two, but it is rarely used in reference to inanimate objects.
