The passive verbs (_verba passiva_) are made with the particles _rare_ and _re_. The particle _rare_ is added to the active verbs, according to the way explained before, after removing the _nu_ from the negative form; e.g., _aguerare,uru_ 'I am offered it,' _iomare,uru_ 'I am read to,' _naravare,uru_ 'I am taught.' They use these passive forms to mean 'to be read to by someone,' or 'to be, or not to be legible.' There are other passive forms which come from neutral verbs or verbs which have neutral meanings. They are also formed with the particles _rare_ and _re_, but when they are so formed they do not govern the cases common to { 144} the passive (for which see below) but rather the cases of the verbs from which they come; e.g., from _agari,u_ comes _agarare,uru_; and, since _agari,u_ 'I ascend' requires the accusative, this verb also requires the accusative. For example; _cono iama ie agararenu_ (102) 'it is not possible to climb this mountain, or this mountain is unable to be climbed,' _xiro cara derarenu_ (102) 'it is not possible to leave the castle,' _xebóte irarenu_ (102) 'it is not possible to penetrate because it is too narrow, or confined,' _cono michi va arucarenu_ (102) 'it is not possible to walk this street,' _natçu va coco ni irare mai_ 'it will not be possible to live here during the summer,' _cono fude de va cacarenu_ (102) 'it cannot be written with this pen,' _fima ga nóte cacarenanda_ (102) 'it cannot be written because of the lack of time,' _cono bun ni coso cacaruru mono de gozare_ (69v) 'it will indeed be well written in this way,' _axi ga itóte arucarenu_ (102) 'it is impossible to walk because of painful feet.' All of these passive verbs are of the first conjugation.[114] The neutral verbs (_verba neutra_) are those which have a neutral meaning; i.e., being initiated by oneself, and not by others. For example; _ivo ga toruru_ 'the fish are caught,' _caje ga toruru_ 'the wind ceases,' _ito ga qiruru_ 'the string is cut,' _ji ga iomuru_ (100) 'the letter [Chinese character] is well read,' _aqi,u_ 'I am uncovered.' _Qiri,u_ 'I cut' is active, _qirare,uru_ is passive, and _qire,uru_ 'I am cut' is neutral. This last form is used when a sword cuts well because it is sharp. _Qiraxe,uru_ is a causative verb which means 'I make someone cut.' _Ague,uru_ means 'I raise,' _aguerare,uru_ 'I am raised' passively, _aguesaxe,uru_ 'I make someone raise,' _agari,u_ 'I am raised' neutrally, _agarare,uru_ 'to be ascendable,' _agaraxe,uru_ 'I cause something to be raised, or I cause him or it to raise himself or itself.' If to these verbs are added the particles which indicate honor (see below) other combinations are made. The adjectives when they are conjugated have a neutral meaning; e.g., _fidarui_ 'I am thirsty,' _fucacatta_ 'it was deep.'
