“ They is indicated by the ending oms ; will have been by the syllable pu at the beginninglog is the simple root-form, and means, as a noun, eye, but as a verb, to see. Pu and oms may be analyzed thus: u as a verb-prefix (or tense augment, as it is called) indicates the future-perfect ; p is the sign of the passiv voice. In oms, s denotes the plural ; m denotes the masculin third persono is characteristic of all person endings and unites them to the verb. ”
