Section 6. TIME. 



I. SELECTION OF THE GREENLAND WORDS, PECULIAR AND COOON. 



(The common stemwords of the Dialects see Vol. I.) 



1) TIME IN GENERAL. 

 Stw. Duration, time sivef; (the time or day) proceeds ilivoq. 

 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 sive" signifies lasting a long and a short 

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

 here following). 



2) TIME WHEN AND WHILE. 



Stw. Proceeds ilivoq; coinciding nalik (nale). 



Afx. Letting him, or while he tipd; when or while fik, vik. 



Drv. Expl. At what daytime did he start? qanoq ilingmat (as 

 it had proceeded how u ) autdlarpa? answer: ima ilivdlune 

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

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

 his lifetime. 



3) PAST AND PRESENT. 



Stw. This ma; still side; now the first time aitsdt; when 

 qanga; before sujo. 



Afx. Formerly galuaq; only first gatdlarpoq; begins lerpoq; 

 has finished rerpoq; has or is done simavoq. 



Drv. Expl. Now mdna; the first one sujugdleq; has passed 

 (f. e. the day) qdngiiipoq (stw. qak surface). Flexion comprises no 

 tense; the past tense generally is given by the context, if this not 

 appears to be sufficiently clear, then the above named affixes are 

 applied.
