examples: § 280. A Participial is a derived form of the verb used not for asserting but for expressing either, —
1. An object of thought; or,
2. A modification of such an object.
Participials, accordingly, are either, —
 1. Noun-participials; as, "To think is to act;" "Their sending the messacre was the cause of the trouble;" or,
2. Adjective-participials, more commonly called Participles; as, "The advancing army;" "The expected messenger."
[…] the verb has two forms, which […] are called Participials, namely, (a) The Infinitv […] (b) The Participle […] .
To have a short appellation, let us call participles and infinitives participials. Among all the myriads of words, a more skillful, many-sided and hard-working class than this could hardly be found, and still—such is the world's reward—they are strangers in a strange land forced to live with their aristocratic cousins, the "finite" verbs. For participials are not verbs in reality.
