Wednesday August 29th 2000 years (S-gi-do-li-gi) "forgive me" for not sending lessons. I have been changing internet service. Today's lesson will be based on the classificatory verb "to have". In an earlier lesson we discussed how classificatory verbs work. If you remember, there are five different types of classificatory verbs, which include the lump, limp, rigid, liquid and animate forms. The verb must correlate with the object in question. Today we are going finish working with the verb "to have". The first form that we are going to use is the limp form that includes all objects that are flexible. This includes items such as clothes, rope, leather and (Go-we-li) which is the Cherokee word for paper. I have given you several sentences that include the first person (I), second person (you) and the third person, which includes (he, she or it). You will also get some adjectives describing the paper.
