The number of words clipped is small but as several are words 
in everyday use, it is as well to master them straight away. 
The most important of these words are,

pergr

Hang pi-lah 
“to come,” which is shortened to mai 
“to go” which is shortened to pt 
“T have just come ” 
“Go away!” 
Similarly ini “this ” and itu “that” are usually contracted 
to m and tu which also serve as contractions for sin “ here” and 
situ “there,” the last named being also sometimes represented by 
nu. 
“There he ‘is ” nu dra. 
“Do you want this or that?” hang mahu yang m-kah yang tu?

tions of deni, “ this person or party ” i.e. dia im, detu, “that person 
or party ” 1.e. dia itu and the vaguer denu, “ those people.”
