Appendix. 



Malagasi. 



noun that follows it is put in apposition : 

 voloiiy ny olona — the people's money, or the 

 money of the people. 



The pronominal affixes that are joined to 

 nouns have the same signification with the 

 English adjective pronouns of the posses- 

 sive kind. 



SINGULAR. 



TranoTco — my house, i.e., house of me. 

 Volanao — thy money, i. e. , money of thee. 

 Omiini/ — his cattle, i.e., cattle of him. 



Malay, 

 orang punia wang — the people's own money. 



Here the same rule applies, as below : — 



SINGULAR. 



Suma leu — my house, etc. 

 Wang hau—XhY money, etc, 

 Limbu nia — his cattle, etc. 



One verb governs another in the infinitive Here 

 mood, as : mikiasa hanotra alio — I intended write, 

 to write. 



The transitive passive with the prono- 

 minal affixes govern nouns and pronouns 

 in the objective case. SoataJco ny taratasij 

 — the letter is written by me, i.e., I write 

 the letter. 



ADVERBS. 



The adverb qualifies the verb, as : mano- Here 

 ratra tsara izy — he writes well. well. 



CONJUNCTIONS. 



handaJc meniurat Tcu — I intend to 



Here we have this example : Surat ter 

 surat ulih ku — the letter is written by me, 



etc. 



Meniurat haik dya — ^he writes 



Conjunctions connect words in the fol- 

 lowing manner : tany sy lanitra — earth and 

 heaven ; nandeha izahay fa nitoetra liiana- 

 reo — we went away, but you remained. 



The copulative conjunction dia connects 

 words that are put in apposition and verbs, 

 as : Izaho mivavaka amitiy leJiovah dia 

 Andriamanifra, Tompony ny lanitra sy ny 

 tany — I worship Jehovah, even God the 

 Lord of heaven and earth. 



Here : Tana* dan langit — earth and sky; 

 pigilah kita tingal-lali angkau — we went, 

 etc. 



Here it is : iya itu, as, aku menmiji pada 

 Yahoivah iya itu Alat Allah iang ada Tuhan 

 de surga dun humi. (The terms langit dan 

 tana— sky and earth — would not convey 

 the correct idea to the Malay as it seems to 

 do in Malagasi. ) 



rosakan saya — 

 woe is me, or destruction is upon me. 



Here the expression is ka; thus : satru-ka 

 di orang 1 — are the people at enmity ? 



INTERJECTIONS. 



Interjections are placed before personal Here the expression 

 pronouns, as : lozako re — woe is me. 



The interrogative repletives moa and va, 

 are placed before nouns and pronouns, and 

 often verbs and adjectives, as : tezitra va 

 ny olona ? — are the people angry ? 



Prosody. 

 The accent is placed on the first of dissyllables, on the second of trisyllables, and 

 on the antipenultimate of polysyllables. 



Mara — many. Muma — a house. 



Lena — wet. JBasa — wet. 



Mandiha — to walk. Berjalan — to walk. 



Mimdy — to buy. Membtly — to buy. 



Mangataka — to ask. Mengatakan — to say.

Refraining from remarks on the above till we reach near the conclusion of 



this paper, I now proceed to the last branch, viz., Phonetic Comparison, 



commencing with the Maori, as previously done. 



PHONETIC COMPARISON. 

 Vowels are simple sounds properly, and consonants articulations ; by the 

 junction of these the illimitable expressions of all languages are recordable. 



* In terminations h and k are used unnecessarily by following the Arab orthography.
