The characters of the tenses —aiate for the past and —t/ for the future follow
the stem of the verb.

The principal differences between the inflexions of the transitive verbs in the two
dialects are found in the incorporation of the object first person in the verb in the
Hailtsuk: dialect and the constant reduplication of the stem in the same dialect.
The latter evidently disappeared in the Kwakiutl dialect through the use of the
plural —daog. Auxiliary verbs are used in the Héiltsuk: in the same way as in the

Kwakiutl.

IMPERATIVE.

eat ! (singular) hama'p ! ha'msens ! ®
let us eat ! hamh’t'tatsents ! haia'msrusents |

let him (near speaker, food near speaker) eat! hamszhsé'k-kx !
let him (food, absent, visible) eat! hamseuHsé k:ék !
let him (absent, visible) eat ! hamseusé'lé !
let him (absent, invisible) eat ! hamseusélé'ts!

1 The third person location near speaker is given. The other forms are formed
from the corresponding endings : near person addressed, —ndguak-ug ; absent, visible,
—noguaké; absent, invisible, —niguakéts.

2 Near person addressed, —ugintla; absent, visible, —éintla ; absent, invisible,
—étsintla.

3 Also = kyitla. aixigastlsd's? he (absent, visible) will kill you. This form
appears rather doubtful.

4 Formed from another derivative of the stem_ham, to eat, viz., hamwit ; while
the others-are derived from hama'p.

5 From ha’msa. - -
