There are two ordinary words in the form of cit and
they are also in free variation with sit. The first cit
means 'only' and somewhat related to the particle c^.t
because very often the nouns modified by this word are
emphasized. The most common place of this cit is before the
head NP of a focus sentence.
188. Sit rukok nyang na ek-geuh.
Only cigarettes which AUX want-3r
The only thing he want (to eat, drink, etc.) is
cigarettes.'
Very often the order is reversed so that the sentence
begins with the relative clause, which is the subject of the
sentence (6.2).
189. Nyang na lon-kalon hinan sit apa Benseh.
That AUX 1-see there only uncle Benseh
The only person I saw there was uncle Benseh.'
