Dr. Neilson gives the following as the Preter Tense :<br />

b-jreAttji I^OID bA iD-bvA]tfp ti)e, / wish I had been<br />

struck, but bA is never used in this form, it should be<br />

30 ; Negative, b-peAftjt IJOID PAC rt}bvA}tj:j& TD&, I wish<br />

I had not been struck.<br />

Every part <strong>of</strong> the Passive Voice may, likewise, be<br />

formed, by joining the Preter Participle Passive, to<br />

the Auxiliary bf ; as, CA n? buA^lce, / am struck ; bf<br />

TTJ& buA^lce, I was struck, &c.<br />

To express continuance, the Present Participle<br />

having AT;, or 3 A (5 A,) with a Possessive Pronoun<br />

prefixed, is joined to the Verb bf ; as, CA n?& 5* njo<br />

bvAlA8, / am in striking, (CA TD^ A3 mo biiAlAb, i.e.<br />

I am at my striking J bf me SA mo bvAlA6, / was in<br />

striking, p. 58.
