Most of the Kuspeaking people live a simple life in small villages engaged in the work of the fields and the.forests and in supplying the needs of the village communities. [...] One of the chief duties of the chapters that follow will be to demonstrate that fact and describe the synthetic construction of the language. [...] the -nb or -nb is not a nasalization of p but the nasal is part of the verbal root and -ba a semi-formative ending.] Whenever according to the euphonic law governing the convesion of surds and sonants a nasalized consonant is changed again into a surd the nasal falls out. [...] In the past tense of manba to be the n is omitted and the tense sign t changed to s and the past tense becomes mase and not mante. [...] The plural suffix -ka is added to the root of the noun that is the singular form less the enunciative ending -u.
