Emsakan seems to have w as a reciprocal 
form. 
Meden, men, as in Kab. 
125. Iboki is clearly used just as in Kab. 
ibgha, he will, he is about, he means ; and 
seems to be the same word. Yet the latter 
is identical with Arab, bagha, decuit, from 
which I think it is borrowed. See 125. 
Inmokel for Imndkel ? See 105. 
126. Ohak, ohag, in Temght, are the root 
awagh of Kab., but take a stronger sense. 
awagh is " sume," but ohag, " cape, rape." 
Ehokan in 127. is 6hagen; but perhaps 
they differ in tense. 
Asfeken, I conjecture, should be aS' 
feghen, they empty ; from fagh. See 174. 
Igfal may seem to be the same word as 
ikfel, he ransacked. 130. 
Q 
slaves, igfalen ikelan e tike- 
laten. 
127. They lead away the horses, wot- 
tan lyesan. [ They bring up ? 
See iwat in 94.] 
They drive away the cows, oha- 
gen iwan. 
the woolly sheep, ohagen 
tikindemen. 
— the {hairy) sheep, ohagen 
tihaten. 
— the goats, ohagen uUi. 
128. There was nothing but iveeping 
of the women and children, 
war akimu har tideden e ilia- 
den immerauen dag timshagh. 
[N.B. e, and; as 126. 130.] 
They fought hard, usasan aga- 
zar. 
They would not flee, war eho- 
kan egewet. (52.) 
127. Tihaten seems to be the same word 
as tighaten, goats, from taghat, she-goat, 
in Kab. Barth also has tarat { = taghat), 
she-goat ; yet he is sure that tihaten means 
(hairy) sheep ; and that ulli (which in Kab. 
is a flock of sheep or goats) is the Temght 
plural for goats. In 137. ulli is sheep (?). 
[There is no doubt that ulli comprises oc- 
casionally both sheep and goats.— B. ] 
128. Akimu is from iklm, it rested or 
remained (41.) ; also, it remained over. 
Har, except. 
Immerau, reciprocal verb, from iru, he 
sobbed ; immerauen, they sobbed mutually. 
Agezar, war. Usasan (perhaps), " they 
made obstinate;" Ar. asa; which might 
generate a causative verb, isasa. But for 
the Arabic root, we have in Kab. azzat/, 
heavy. See azuen in 150.
