b) Nyoe lon-sambong lon-peugah haba-peulandok.<br />

This 1-continue 1-tell story-mousedeer<br />

'Now I am going to continue (with something<br />

else, that Is) to tell you a mousedeer story.'<br />

galak 'to like' shows an interesting case. As a Class 2<br />

verb, it is used with enclitics. But when it is followed by<br />

a complement, it behaves rather strangely. When the verb of<br />

the complement has no a proclitic, it cannot be used with an<br />

enclitic, and when the verb of the complement is used with a<br />

proclitic, it must be used with an enclitic. When the verb<br />

of the complement is used without a proclitic, the sentence<br />

means that the subject likes the activity and does it<br />

regularly as a hobby, or he has acquired a habit of doing it<br />

again and and again.<br />

185. a) Gopnyan galak jak u keude.<br />

Her like go to town<br />

'He likes going to town. (He does it as a<br />

hobby.)'<br />

When a proclitic is used on the verb of the complement,<br />

the sentence means that the subject likes to do the activity<br />

at that particular moment. But, here too, the complement<br />

with agreement can also have the meaning of the sentence<br />

without agreement (185).
