VERB. 31
Transitive Verb.—A transitive or a causal verb is formed from a
radical, aud also from the neuter verb in bar, by the suffixes kan
and i, both of which have, generally, although not invariably, the
same sense : the first, however,is in most general use. Thus, from •
buiii, noise, comes bunikan, to make a noise ; from bungkus, a
wrapper, bungkuskan, to wrap or envelope ; from putih, white,
putihkjin, to whiten ; from bayik, good, bayikan or bayiki, to
make good, or to mend ; from panjang, long, panjangkan, to
lengthen ; from diya, he or she, diyakan, to make his or hers's
from jatuh, to fall, jatuhkan, to cause to fall, or to throw down;
from jalan, to walk, jalankan, to cause to walk ; from diyam, to
be silent, diyamkan, to silence ; from siirta, with, sartakan, to
accompany; from lakas, quickly, lakaskan, to quicken; from
mula, beginning, mulaii, to begin or commence; from tangis,
lamentation, tangisi, to lament or mourn for; from nama,
name, namiii, to name or mention ; from batul, straight, batuli,
to straighten ; from aku, I, akiii, to avow, or to attest ; from
lalu, to go or pass, lalui, to go on or to pass through. The
two affixes are not unfrequently applied to the same radical, but
there are cases in which the compounds have different meanings.
Thus jalankan is to cause to walk, but jalani is, to travel over.
The transitive particles are equally appHed to the compound
neuter verbs formed by the prefixes bar and par as to radicals.
Maka butapun masuklah kadalam guwa itu, dan Sri Panji
pulang kaparsingagahaii barantikan lalahiia ; the demon went
into the cave, and Sri Panji returned to his encampment, to
rest himself; literally, to stop his fatigue. Jampana yang bartahkan
ratna dan mutyara; a litter studded with gems and pearls.
Barang-siyapa tiyada kuwasa manunggiii d'iriua, maka sabagaimana
iya kuwasa manunggiii yang layin ; he who cannot Avatch
himself, how should he be able to watch others ?
Passive Verb.— A. passive sense is given to a neuter or active
verb, whether they be simple, or formed by the assistance of
transitive or intransitive particles, by the prefixed particle di, and
sometimes by the prefixes tar and ka. When the passive form,
with di, is followed by a noun or pronoun, a preposition, usually
tJih, by, through or with, is either expressed or undei'stood.
