APPENDIX IV. 
He has revenged on them the 
blood of his father, izel dassen 
asheni-n-sMs. 
/ beat you, nek watak. 
He beat him, till the blood came 
out, yawat, har tegmad ashen. 
119. I imprison, ergellagh (awadagh 
iyen). 
A prison, ehe-n-erregal. 
I put in chains, egegh asesar 
dar erinnis [^I do a chain on 
his neck']. 
I put a waistchain on his back, 
a handcuff on his hands, 
gegh tesliim dar darannis, 
gegh tiyat dar afasannis. 
120. / circumcise, nek emankaden, 
{^particip.^ 
Circumcised, iinankad, jt?/. iman- 
kaden. 
/ castrate, nek emeleagh. 
121. 1 ivound somebody, sabayasagh 
awadem. 
A'sheni, blood, is nearly as in Hausa. 
In Kab. we find idemmin, as if Arabic pi. 
Shi or ti, father. 
Yawat, " he beat," is the root, as in 
Kab. Tegmad (with adverbial d final), 
from igem, he went out ; Temght, not Kab. 
119. /rec/e/, he imprisoned ? 
Eri, neck (in Kab.) ; fel erinnis, on his 
neck (Prodig. Son). Dar ( = daffi r, back ? 
see the prepositions). Ifasan, hands. I 
infer that asesar is a collar or neckband, 
teshim, a waistchain, tipat, a handcuff. 
121. From 129., buyis (or aboyis?), a 
wound. The causative verb is sabayas, 
wound thou ; the passive (or Niphal), ine- 
buyis, he was wounded. Also anasbdyas 
(particip. ), wounded. 
He is wounded, aboyis (?) 
Wounded, anasbayas. 
122. / box the ear, asittegh. 
/ slap the face, edebarahagh. 
I kick, stamp with the foot, ter- 
selladagh. 
1 strike with the knee, nek tes- 
men kassadagh. 
I give a foil, nek esillaras [esil- 
laghas]. 
123. / wrangle, nek tayeragh shel- 
kikan. 
/ cut {off) his head, nek tesug- 
gorast [tesuggogh-as-t]. 
Strangle thou (him), orea-s. 
I strangle (him), nek oreagh-as. 
124. 1 go to war, iggelegh dagh ege- 
hen. [Egehen, an inroad, or 
military expedition.'] 
The people gather, idinet ti- 
dauen. 
They intend an expedition, ye- 
boken egehen. 
Awadem, from Heb. and Arab. adam,miin. 
122. Ibardh, he slapped ? {Ibaragh, he 
treated insolently ?) See Abardgh in 138. 
123. Isugg, he cut off? 
Orea, strangle, may be compared with 
eri, neck, Kab. and in 119. 
124. 125. Igele, he went or set off, seems 
to me the same root as tekeli, starting 
setting off, which in Kab. is tikli or thihli. 
I ventured to propose writing the verb 
ikeli (see 232.), and regarded sikel (travel) 
as its causative (viz. cause to go, i. e. make 
the beasts start) ; as Arab. silk. But Barth 
insists that igele is necessarily sounded with 
g, and tekkeli, sikkel with k. 
Idinet ; Arab, dunia, world ? The word 
pervades North Africa.
