TI, T' Second person for thee, thou, thy, thine.
LI, L' Third person for he, she, his, her.
NI, N' Common like _It_ or rather _On_ of the French.
How their plurals are formed, is doubtful; but perhaps the inflexions alone formed them. These pronouns are pure Italian! or rather primitive. They were often dispensed with as in Italian.
Of the verbs we know little or nothing. By a few examples of the verb _to be_, it was quite irregular as with us.
_Ei_ To be--_Tei_ be thou--_Bei_ being. _Beira_ a being--_Dacha_ I am. _El_ he is--_Zi_ it is, this is.
In these _Ei_ appears the root, derives from _Eil_, and was then similar to _El_ son, as _Zi_ to _Izi_ eyes.
This verb joined to others was added to words. _Guarocoel_ we know he is, may be analyzed _Gua-roco-el_ such-know-he-is.
We have an example of negative verbs in _Macabuca_ I do not care, which is _Macabuca_ not-care, or never-mind; in French _n'importe_, in Italian _non curo_.
Of the syntax we may form an idea by the few preserved phrases; which I have analyzed as follow, and compared with the Italian.
1. _Teitoca_ thou be quiet. _Tacitu_ Italian. _tocheta_ much. _molto._ _zinato_ angry. _irato._ _Guame-chyna_ this great God. _gran-Nume._
2. _Gua-ibba_ that go. _Vai_ It. _zinato_ angry. _irato._ _macabuca_ not care. _non curo._
3. _Dios_ Spanish God. _Dio_ It. _Aboria_ Servant. _Servo._ _dacha_ I am. _Sono._
This idiom or position of words is perfect in Italian which admits of many transpositions; but in English syntax and idiom these phrases mean
1. Be quiet, God will be very angry. 2. Begone, I do not care if he is angry. 3. I am the servant of the Spanish God.
The Haytian numbers have not been transmitted to us, and I could only collect the following secondary numbers--_Ata_ first, _Bem_ second, _Abem_ third: which however are primitive and indicate a binary numeration: although the language had probably the decimals.
By a careful analytical process I have been able to decompose the compound words, and even reach their monosyllabic roots. All the long words can be thus analyzed, and show that this compound form only arises, as usual in American languages, by the blunders of the Spanish writers, who wrote long words instead of short ones; blending articles and affixes. The Haytian thus analyzed and reduced is a very simple language, approximating to the primitive and oriental forms, wherein short monosyllables of generic import, formed the base of the speech, and became modified by union and relative position.
