6. The auxiliary verbs, except _ga_, may perhaps be included among the suffixes (_see_ p. 322, VIII.). X. Verbal Prefixes. The prefix _ya-_ renders a neuter verb active or causative. Ex. _yaigege_, to go down, _yeyaigege_, to carry down. _faikadede_, to come back, _yefaika(dede)_, to give back. _yu_, to stand up, _yeyu_, to set up. XI. Irregular Verbs. 1. Many verbs are irregular in the imperative. Ex. _angege_, imperat. _ange_, go. _atede_, imperat. _ade_, kindle, burn. _ende_, imperat. _ende_, undo. _etsie_, imperat. _etsie_, come up (ladder). _faikadede_, imperat. _faika(dede)_, go back. _idede_, imperat. _de_, gather, pluck. _isie_, imperat. _isia_, follow; _itede_, imperat. _ide_, sting, bite. _itulili_, imperat. _itu(li)_, split. _ivori_, imperat. _ivo(ri)_, wipe. _kosisi_, imperat. _kose_, turn. _telele_, imperat. _te(le)_, come. _yelele_, imperat. _ye(le)_, call. 2. Other irregular verbs are the following. Only those forms known are entered. _Aitodede_, to run: imperat. _attode_, infin. _aitode(me)_. _ando_ and _ande_, to be there: fut. _andetsi_, imperat. _ande_, subj. _ando_, and _ande_. _bole_, to leave: past, _bo(le)_, imperat. _bo(le)_. _ete_, to tell: past, _ete_ and _elete_, imperat. _eta_ and _ta_. _faduatsiete_, to ache (head): fut. _faduatatsi_. _iei_, to throw: fut. _iatsi_, imperat. _ia_. _indi_, to give;, imperat. _i(nde)_, subj. _i(ndi)_. _ingale_, to carry (on shoulder): past, _ingala_ and _inge_, imperat. _inga_, subj. _ingo_. _itede_ and _ito_, to lay down: past, _ito_ and _ita_, near past, _itova_, imperat. _ito_. _songe_, to go: pres. and past, _se_, near past, _sova_, imperat. _so(nge)_, subj. _so_, interrog. _sona?_ _sue_, to walk, go: pres. _sue_, fut. _susuetsi_. _utsisi_, to draw: fut. _utsist_, imperat. _ude_. Note (1). The verbs _ando_ and _ito_ are not yet accurately understood. (2). The verb _ete_ has a double conjugation, the initial _e_ being retained or omitted at will. The past _elete_ is used in reporting the words of another person. (3). The verb _faduatsiete_ is a type of several verbs which end in _ete_, preceded by the syllable _tsi_. All these appear to lose _tsi_ in the future, although some have both forms. Ex. _kiovatsiete_, to cry (of black parrot): fut. _kiovatatsi_ and _kiovatsitatsi_. _puatsiete_, to make a cracking noise: fut. _puatatsi_ and _puatsiatsi_. (4). The verb _sue_ in the meaning "go away" always has _ga_.
