kl A GRAMMAU OF THE MALAY J.ANGUAGE.
With the particles in p alone, the uouu often expresses
the agent or instrument, and when it is combined with the
suffix an, the object. Thus, from bawa, to carr^', we have
pambawa, a carrier, and pambawaan, carriage, or transport;
from bunuh, to kill, pambunuh, a killer, or murderer, and
pambunuhan, murder, or slaughter; from jamu, to feast, par-
janiu, a host, and parjamlian, a feast ; from buwat, to do,
pambuwat, actor, and parabuwatan, action or deed.

The meanings of the absti'act nouns, the manner of forn)iug
which has now been described, generally flow naturally from
the radicals, from which they are derived, and in every case are
traceable to them. Occasionally, however, they have specific and
restricted meanings, only to be ascertained by a knowledge of
the language or by considting a dictionary. Such compounds
cannot be formed at pleasure, but arc, in fact, established
;
