PAET III. 

 A Vocabulary in Khyeng and English. 



The vocables in this section of the Vocabulary may perhaps be grouped 

 under the following heads : — 



(a.) The generic or cognate, such as are common to the majority of 

 the hill tongues, as for instance ; ' kahni ' the sun ; ' khlo' the moon ; ' kli' 

 air ; * ui' a clog. 



(b.) The specific or, perhaps more correctly, the dialectic, such as are 

 peculiar to the Khyeng tongue : as for example ; ' bliiw' a hilt; ' de/c' the 

 earth ; ' kiau' a mountain. 



(c.) The foreign or such as are borrowed from other tongues, as for 

 example ' mlu' a town, from the Arakanese ' mro' ; ' anik' black, from the 

 Bm'mese ' anek' ; ' sonai' lime, from the Hindustani ' chuna '. 



The origin of these latter is indicated by the capital letters A, C, or H, 

 being prefixed to them. 



A. 



a, post pos., at, among, for, in, to ; 2, suppositional affix, if; 3, 



dative particle. 

 agu, post pos., from, in, ablative particle. 

 a, n., a fowl ; — hlui, a cock ; — hlui khong u, the cock crows ;
