122 A GRAMMAR OF THE
jy per-ator-an arrangement; and il:..^/^-) sumbut receive, with ^ 1
annexed, becomes j de kandl-i-nia he recollected him, which with J, kan
would be ^Jl:^ j de kanal-kan-nia. It must be observed, that when the
syllable precedhig either of these two particles ends with the quiescent
letters \, ^ or i^, the character (') hamzah, equivalent to a shorter, should
be placed after such letter, especially the 1 ; or a () teshdid maybe placed
over the . or ^i which denotes their being repeated in the pronunciation;
as from cj\^ kata to speak, ^'^ kata-an speech ; from c:^,^; tayitu certain,
Sjiij tantu-i or ^j^ tantiiwi to ascertam ; from _js puji praise, ^^^
puji-an worship, and ^^^ piijT-i or ^^^ pujiyi to worship ; which last
mode however is very unusual, and serves only to exemplify these elabo-
rate niceties.
When both syllables contain long vowels, the former is shortened,
and the latter remains unchanged, as from jIU 7nalu ashamed, is formed
J^ ka-?nalu-an shame ; from ^jj din self, ^j^ dirl-vm thyself
from ^^U> ynart hither, ab^ inarJ-lali come ! from ^'^ pakei to wear,
Jij pakci-an apparel.
When the word contains a short vowel in the former syllable, and a
lonn^ vowel in the latter, both syllables remain unchanged, being already
in the state adapted to receiving the particle, as ^J-J.*^ sampei-kan to
cause to arrive, from ^^Ja^ sampei to arrive ; ^^^-m-j sakti-an power, from
•; j„, sakfi powerful (by supernatural means) ; ^^^j
he rushed on, from ^j^ serbu to rush ; ^./f^
(trans.) from ^^^
chcrrei to separate (intrans.).
de serbu-ka7i-nia
viencherrei-kan to separate
Simple monosyllables consisting of two consonants with one inter-
mediate short vowel, should follow the rule given with respect to final
;
syllables
