Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...mam diruruarti, her hlood dried up, E kotor dimiruarti, he looked up to heaven; lesu a abara kaimeg giz nar ge ekauererti, Jesus and his disciples took a ship; Ese nerute le meta dekaerti, if a man leave his house. (c) oa. JJaina apaiteredoa, wine is spilled; Abele le ma dasmer Lamar zogo ueeperoa abi kerem ge egimurua, the man you see the Holy Spirit descending and settling on his head. (d) i. This is a very common termination of the verb, and mostly occurs with I or r as li or ri. The meaning is obscure. Sentences in which these are found do not differ in sense from those in which r (see 7a.) is the termination (e) le and lu as verb endings are also found. They may possibly be compared with the adjective terminations le, lu, and the nouns le, man, lu, thing. (/) In Mk. i. 19, Abele ge-lam E Kebikeb ekasereder, when he had gone a little farther from that place; and in Jno. ii. 14, gaire le mani eraplare emereder, money changers sitting there seems to be a suffix eder. Cf. eJcas, emri. It is evident that these notes on the Miriam verb leave much to be desired for the accurate understanding of the language. The faulty material and printers' errors have no doubt led to many misunderstandings. If what is here stated leads to a future correction, the piipose of the writers will be fully served. VI.--Adverbs. 1. Interrogative.--Interrogative adverbs are formed by means of the word na, what? prefixed to nouns or case particles. (a) Place.--Nade? where? JVade mara aba? where's your father? Nagedim? (lit. to what place) whither? Mai nagedim bakeam? whither wilt thou go? Nadelam? (from where) nagelam? (from what place) whence? Ki umer kak nagelam E dali, we know not where he (is) from. (S) Time.--na gerger ge? (lit. at what day) when? Ma...
