Some adverbs from these words are derived with meu- 'in<br />

a manner.' The stems are reduplicated.<br />

ii-khem meuhah-hah 'he laughed with the sound "hah-<br />

hah"'<br />

lon-pluenq meucru-cru 'I ran very rapidly'<br />

meu- is also used in combination with the prefix ceu-<br />

and sometimes in combination with -eur- (2.2.1.7).<br />

reubah-iih meuqeureub'um 'he fell with the sound<br />

"geureub'um n '<br />

hana meukeureutek ii-iak 'he walked without the<br />

slightest sound as "keureutek"'<br />

lon-tiek meuleub'ak 'I dropped it with the sound<br />

"leub'ak"'<br />

meu- is not used when the word is placed before the<br />

verb. In this position, the word is not reduplicated. These<br />

adverbs are pronounced with a stress on the last syllable<br />

followed by a low pitch throughout the rest of the<br />

predicate. The stressed words are marked below with the<br />

symbol ( A ). The sound or the imitation indicates the<br />

suddenness of the action.<br />

krie A li-klik 'he suddenly cried with the sound<br />

"krie"'<br />

t'am* lon-tampa-iih 'I slapped him (without giving<br />

any warning) with the sound "t'am"'
