LESSON 6

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

(b)

Modified baliddwa or balibbwa.

(i) Verbs ending in ira or'era (mainly prepositional form) change the final a to way e.g.

Buulira becomes buulirwa Kolera becomes kolerwa

modified form buuliddwa modified form koleddwa

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

(e)

modified form labiddwa

(A

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