Hi,
I am sorry that the link does not work. Here is a new link. I hope that it will last.
The verb is at the end of the book, at page 59.
The book is in 1868 Russian. "Grammar of old Russian - word forms" is given as a substitution. I can not give a good translation of the name.

Next-ness (Iteration ( ...)) is so Obvious that a few gave themselves a trouble to name it in language (as 1st and 2nd = a name in Nominative or any other case AND a name in Instrumental(the 2nd in the same state/action as the 1st)).

Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to describe the sphere of use of the Russian Instrumental case in
written sources from the eighteenth century. The research is based on approximately 11,300
instances of the use of the Instrumental and almost 2,400 constructions with other cases,
excerpted from documents of various genres and styles. The corpus includes texts written by
forty eighteenth-century authors, and contains works of poetry and drama, literary prose,
letters, memoirs and learned tracts.
Previous studies of the Instrumental case have in the main dealt with the development of
the system of its meanings in the Old Russian period, or else have described its condition in
modern times. The present work attempts to systematise its most typical uses and to trace the
changes in the function of the Instrumental that took place during the period when a national
literary language was coming into being in Russia.
The research is primarily focused on the competition between the Instrumental case and
other means of expression of particular meanings. In particular it describes (with statistical
data) the variation in case forms within the predicate, with the function of an object, and also
of the agent in passive constructions.
A detailed description is given of those meanings of the Instrumental which are known
from the earliest period and still in active use in the eighteenth century, but nowadays per-
ceived as archaic. The most important of these are the Instrumental of cause, and also various
uses of the Instrumental without a preposition to indicate time or place.

The paper is in Russian. It may be seen as the wandering Russians took to pin down the Next-ness (Instrumental case).
