The verb peugot which is used to mean 'to make' and 'to
repair' has its origin from peu- 'to cause' and got 'good,'
which means 'to cause to become good,' which is close to the
meaning 'to repair.' The original meaning of peugot is 'to
make look good, to improve the quality.' It is still used
for that meaning besides those two meanings above. For
example in:
91. Ka-dong beu got nak lon-peugot sapai bajee-keuh.
2„-stand DES good so 1-make-good hand shirt-2y
' Stand well so that I can make your sleeves look
good.'
[iii]. With adverbs, peu- can be used not only with one-word
stems, but also with long phrases.
teulat 'late;' peuteulat 'to cause to become late'
duwa go 'twice;' oeuduwa go 'to cause to become
twice'
tiep uroe 'every day;' peutiep uroe 'to cause to
become every day'
keunoe 'to here;' peukeunoe 'to cause to be here'
u keue 'to the front;' peu-u keue 'to cause to be in
the front'
92. Got that, ka-peusithon-sioo ka-jak bak long.
Good very 2y-make-one-year-one-time 2y-go to I
'That is really very good; you make your visiting
me a once-a-year event.'
