THE yASSIVE FORMS
8
(a) The normal rule is to change the final a of the verb stem` to ibwapor ebwa with a modified form in iddwa or eddwa (occasionallyibb777 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 formtheir passive in a similar manner, expect that the may ba, and pastems must revert to the full form in the modified formation, e.g.
Lubala (Warn), gives labulwa mod*fied form labudrlwa
i) LWE (when, with reference to particular day) built on LU and particle 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.

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 bythe Future Tense, e.g.

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.
