 * See page 18 of this volume.

+ As the sufBx-forms of the nouns, vei'bs, and other parts of speech have been fully shown in the previous part of this volume by the use of hyphens, I do not think it so necessary now to continue that aid. All postpositions will now be detached from their nouns and pronouns, and every compound postposition will be printed as one word. Those sufBx particles which are used as enclitics, and the inseparable case-endings, will be attached to their words. The tense-forms of the verbs will be printed as shown on pages 2S to 41, but without the use of the hyphens. In the Analysis of the selections which now follow, the hyphens are sometimes retained to show the compo- sition of the words. — Ed,
