_163._ The Voices. Thus far the verb forms have been in the _active
voice_; that is, they have represented the subject as _performing_ an
action; as,

The lion ---> _killed_ ---> the hunter

A verb is said to be in the _passive voice_ when it represents its
subject as _receiving_ an action; as,

The lion <--- _was killed_ <--- by the hunter

Note the direction of the arrows.

_164._ Passive Personal Endings. In the passive voice we use a
different set of personal endings. They are as follows:

SINGULAR PLURAL
1. -r, _I_ 1. -mur, _we_
2. -ris, -re, _you_ 2. -mini:, _you_
3. -tur, _he, she, it_ 3. -ntur, _they_

_a._ Observe that the letter -r appears somewhere in all but one
of the endings. This is sometimes called the _passive sign_.
