PREPOSITION.
43. The prepositions that govern the genitive might with reason be called postpositions, since they follow the case; for Pedro Pedroque betzégnai, with you amó ma. * * * * * ADVERB. The adverbs are very many, and by them more especially is expressed the manner of walking, of sitting, of sounding, etc., and oftentimes the enunciation copies after the sense, as, cúusan, I sound; catzcatze cúusan, clattering sound. * * * * * INTERJECTION. 45. Some of the interjections are these: Ari! and when repeated ari, ari! are those of one feeling pain; Asioma is of one that menaces, like, You will see! and Asma is like, I desire to see! Hábesa matzi, Well, then! Ahéne is exclaimed by one who recollects himself; Navehtzemne, Alas! Woe to me! * * * * * |
