I seize your hand, atafagh afos 
enik. 
I embrace him, ekulleghas. 
He fell on his neck, and kissed 
him, yudar fel erinnis ahasi 
timullut. 
I embrace his knees, (and) kiss 
them, nekodegli fel fadennis, 
ahasen e timullut. 
A kiss, tamolit [tamolirt : ta- 
moliglit ?]. 
/ kiss, emoleragh [emolS' 
ghagh ?]. 
105. / follow thee, nek elkamakay. 
Follow him, elkemt. 
/ obey or folloio, nek elilal [eli- 
lagh]. * 
Does El Khadir obey the orders 
of Alkuttabu? El Khadir 
elll Alkuttabu ? 
He does not obey him, war yil- 
kemit. 
1 refuse to submit to thee, nek 
ugaraghak serliu. 
Ekull, cherish thou ? See ekol in 82. 
Different are ikel (?), he marched, iggel, he 
turned aside, igla^ he broiled : roots liable 
to confusion. Also kUlet in 65. 
Odegh, I fall? nodagh, we fall (71.), 
war tidu, lest thou fall ; if to be so written 
denote a root. Idu (compare dau, under.) 
But if tidu is untrustworthy, adar, or rather 
atar, is the root ; in Kab. to go down. 
Faden (ifaden f) pL of afod, knee ? 
sen. Aha = Aga 2>'d "i 
Imoler (imolegli), he kisses ? 
105. Elkem in Kab. "arrive." Qu. may 
ilkem, " pertinuit," explain the double use ?

their chief, tausit tadagh (tin- 
degh) irhet amanokal nissen.

shin felle.

isimghar. 
109. / bear witness to you, egeha- 
ghak.

I swear, ehadagh [7 swore ?~\, 
I swear, ohadagh. 
I swear falsely, ehadagh-s-baho. 
He sivore falsely, yehad-s-baho. 
Serhu, victory, primacy. Yugar (Shilha 
and Kab.) "it exceeds," and so once (I 
think) in Barth. Thus ugaraghak serhu may- 
seem to mean " supero tibi praestantiam." 
Irhet. Barth suspects it should be " war 
irhet,'^ loves not. Final t is then useless. 
May not t be radical, and irhat mean de- 
jecii, excussit ? 
Amanokal, chief. Tinmokolen, they in- 
vest their chief, 125. Atkel, government 
(spelt ^Jj![.j by Ben Musa). These words, 
with the term " kel," seem peculiar to Tema- 
shight. 
106. Idehel, he helped ? 
108. Isimghar (he made great), as in Kab. 
is from the root mekkur, great ; the k be- 
coming gh in the causative, as in some 
other verbs. 
109. Geh, " testify thou," shows the root of 
the Kab. inigeQi), a witness ; in Shilha also 
evgi.
