We must now as briefly as possible consider the verb. H. The Verb. The verb of every language provided with grammatical forms expresses the personal pronoun more or less distinctly. These pro- nouns are the subject of the verb; in ‘habeo,’ ‘sto,’ ‘habeor,’ ‘sequor,’ in TL0r]p,L, Ttdcptu, tvtttco, rviTTopcu, the subject of the verbs is ex- pressed by o, or, pi, pat, oo. The verb may be named, according to its different significations, verb subjective-active, subjective-passive or reflexive, subjective-neuter or deponent; and abstractly from its different significations it might be simply named verb subjective, be- cause it is by the subjective suffixes that any word becomes a verb. The Finno-TJgric verb expresses distinctly the subjective suffixes; for instance, in the verb ‘ swallow ’ or ‘ devour ’: English. Hungarian. Vogul. OSTIAK. ■ Finnish.
