 Afx. — 



Drv. Expl. The only word that might represent the abstract 

 idea of time is the (supposed) stemword sive. The original real 

 existence of this word seems proved by the derivata , as , having 

 long" and „having short sioe" signifies lasting a long and a short 

 time; but without Afx. the word is not used (see the subdivisions 

 here following).

 it had proceeded „how") autdlarpa'^ — answer: ima ilivdlune 

 (pointing at the place where the sun had been standing) autdlarpoq 

 it standing thus, he started; inutitdhigo letting him live, i.e. during, 

 his lifetime.
