matta, mat, adv. no, not; compounded 

 with /eo^ (thing, res): mattateag, matteag: 

 matchaog, nothing, rien, Luke 22, 35; 

 Prov. 13, 7. Apparently a contraction 

 of mohleau (mo privative and ohteait), 

 it is not; cf. mo, mo7Jteag. In some 

 dialects the particle undergoes further 

 contraction, as in Del. td, 'a lazy no' 

 (Hkw.), as in the French 'point' for 'ne 

 point'. In composition, mat, asaprefix, 

 has a privative and sometimes a direct 

 negative force, sometimes is the equiv- 

 alent of match/', bad.
