APPENDIX IV. 
30. 1 inquire, esistanagh. 
Ask him the news, sistent fel is- 
alen. (Ar. saal, he asked.) 
31. Seek thou,\xmm2ig\\ [iiTa^.unag.] 
He sought for, yummagh, ye- 
summagh. 
/ seek your advice, nek summa- 
gliekay tanhad. 
32. Give us advice, ager tanha(d ?) 
/ advise you, egerakay tanhad. 
Advice, tanhad. 
, takbhit \_secrecy~\. 
I tell you this secretly, inneghak 
awadagh istakshit. 
We confer between ourselves, 
neger tanhad gerenagh. 
You must not repeat it to any one, 
war tintennit {or war tisellit) 
awadem. 
o3. 1 will, I like, irhegh. 
/ like, love you, irhekay. 
/ like not, wur terhagh [or, wur- 
t-erhagh, I like him not 
34. / can, edobegh, dobegh. 
32. Ger, th»ow, cast, in Kab. andTemght. 
Neger tanhad, we cast advice. In the 
forms summagliekay (31.), egerakay (32.), 
irhekay (33.), yufeke (35.) we see that the 
Tawarek use the nominative kay or ke for 
(thee) the accusative after a verb [re- 
serving the Kabail suffix ak for the dative 
(tibi)?], and the final gh of the 1st pi. is 
absorbed by k. Thus, irhekay = erhegh- 
kay. 
33. Irha, in Ghad. is ifrau, in Kab. is 
Ira. The word is evidently the Berber 
correlative of Arab, ifrahh, he rejoiced ; 
which the Kabail dialect uses side by side 
with ira. 
34. Tdob (he is able) must be inferred. 
35. We surpass him, niife-t. [So in 
Shilha.'] 
This man surpasses you, halis 
wadagh yiifeke. 
It is better than, yiifa. 
36. It is useful, yinfa. [Arab, yinfa.] 
, ahitenfa.' 
It is gone, finished, yimmedi. 
It is enough, yuggeda. 
It is suitable, [inituegi ?] 
It is impossible, awar inituegi. 
There is, yile. 
37. What shall I do ? ma diknegh ? 
He who makes shoes, wa yekaii- 
nen ibushegan. 
We did it, nt knit. 
It may be, imokan {is feasible). 
38. The stars shine forth, itaren ik- 
ndn ebarbar. 
This day is very fine, ashel idagh 
ikna teshel deje. 
It is wonderful, tak5nit. 
39. / have done for thee, egeaghak. 
/ have committed sin, egegh 
ebaket. 
They have formed a line, egen 
afod. 
/ do [have done .^], iggegh. 
/ mend a rent, tagagh tikist. 
Hence also, adahib, expert, pi. iddbaben ; 
and a new verb, idabab, he is expert. 
37. Ken, do thou ! fac ! (Ben Musa's 
Temght.) 
38. Ikna, it shone ? Iken, he made ? 
39. Aj (^^) is Ghadamsi for do thou ! 
In Shilhfi, igd, factum est ; in Temght it is 
active, egit. The word seems to be lost in 
KabaiL (See etagagh and ig in 47.)
