THE yASSIVE FORMS

(a) The normal rule is to change the final a of the verb stem` to ibwap
or ebwa with a modified form in iddwa or eddwa (occasionally
ibb777 e.g.

Kola gives kolebwa = be done Modified form koleddwa or kolebbwa.

Bala gives Balibwa = be counted Modified baliddwa or balibbwa.

(b) (i) Verbs ending in ira or'era (mainly prepositional form)

change the final a to way e.g.

Buulira becomes buulirwa modified form buuliddwa

Kolera becomes kolerwa modified form koleddwa

(ii) Verbs ending in may bat pa and some ending in la or ra form

their passive in a similar manner, expect that the may ba, and pa
stems must revert to the full form in the modified formation, e.g.

Lubala (Warn), gives labulwa mod*fied form labudrlwa

Tama (disgust, sicken)-gives tarawa (be tired of) . modifi
form tamiddwa
Laba.gives labwa labibwa modified form labiddwa
(A

(e) Verbs ending in Nya, Mya, or Pya change the final a into izibwa
or ezebwa, e.g.
Ov
Saasanya (scatter) gives saasanyizibwa modified form saasanyizibbwo.

Noonya gives noonyezebwa modified. form noonyezeddwa.

After the passive, the agent is expressed by the si*e noun, but
the instrument has usually na before it. e.g.

Omuyizzi'yattibwa embogo.
The hunter was killed by a buffalo.

Onusota gwattibwa nlomuggo.

PARTICLES OF TIME

i) LWE (when, with reference to particular day) built on LU and parti

cle E. "LWE" is the Object Relative agreeing with "Olunaku" (day)
either stated or understood. Its literal meaning, therefore, is
"The day on which", e.g.

The day on which he went there was much rain.

tive agreeing with "Obudde" (tine of day) either stated or understood.

less specific than "LWE", e.g.
1. Emmere bwteggya ombulira.
Tell me when the food is ready.
2. Kintulwe yava e Buddo n1 agenda e Magonga.
When Kintti left Buddo he went to Magonga,

iii) OKUTUUSA IRE, (until or till) built on LU and particle E.

"Okutuusa lwe" in the Present tense and Imperative is followed by
the Future Tense, e.g.
1. Linda okutuusa lwe nnajja.
- Wait till I come.
20 Yakola okutuusa lwe yakoowa. (past tense)
H4 worked till he was tired.

iv) BUII LWE, (whenever) built on LU and particle E. e.g.

Buli lwe tugenda e Kampala enkuba etonnya.
Whenever we go to Kampala it rains.
2. Bull lwe tusobya tubonerezebwa.
Whenever we make mistakes we are Punished.

v) The subjunctive of MALA (while) e.g.

1. Linda tumald okulya.
