Dialogue 3.7-8

A ve kadachen bodúta chet?

So begins a series of questions making up a lesson. First the pupil asks What shall we do? The verb stem for to do or to make in ghostian is dach-. Here it has taken a plural ending, -en because the subject is bodúta, the plural of bodú, the prefix ka- marks it as future tense.

Ye bodúta ve kalehen

Teacher replies Let us read. He puts the plural accompanitive preposition to make it a jussive. The stem for the verb to read is leh-, and here it is marked as a future plural noun as above.
