There weasel 2y-cause-chase to dog
'There is the weasel. Have it chased by the dog.'
peulet is used without a causative meaning in some
dialects around Bireuen, as in Matang Glumpang Dua, just as
the bare verb let in other dialects. While in all other
dialects they say Ion-let manok 'I am chasing a chicken,' in
these dialects uhey say both lon-peulet manok and Ion-let
manok for the same meaning, 'I am chasing a chicken.' To
people from other dialects, lon-peulet manok means that 'the
subject causes another agent (a dog, etc.) to chase a
chicken.'
