the verb 'to do'; in the transhition the verb 'does' is only used to show the effect of the particles; no reason can be assigned why the particles may not be used indiscriminately the one for the other, excepting euphony, because the agency is in the o, which denotes purpose.

Temmamulliko, 'to lead as by the hand '; the to in the text is added to Marai, because that is the subject of the verb, and the ko (=to) is added to Eloi koba, because that, too, is an. essential jjortion of the subject.

Wonnai ta bara Eloi koba, 'children it is they of Grod.'
