This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ...e.g. go oba, to bow, obama, become bowed down; go ina, to dip, inama, become bent or dipped down; go kona, to bend awry, konama, become bent down. Verbs formed from Nouns. 48. Verbs are sometimes formed by affixing fa to the radical form of a noun; e.g. bogale, anger, go galefa, to become angry; monate, pleasant, go natefa, to be pleasant; boled, sinfulness, go leofa, to sin. Fala and its causative fatsa are thus affixed to many nouns: thata, strength, go thatafala, to become strong, go thatafatsa, to strengthen; letshego, blessing or good-fortune, go tshegofala, to become blessed, go tsh6gofatsa, to bless. Sometimes nouns are added to verbs, as go baea-peld, to wait a-bit (literally, to place your heart); go ela-tlhoko, to pay heed to; go utloa-botlhdkd, to be sorry; go tlhomoga-peld, to pity. In such cases changes of tense or species only affect the verb, the nouns being still hyphened to the altered form; e.g. Mpeela-peld, Wait for me; O mo tlhomogetse-peld, He has had pity on him. Sometimes the ordinarily attached noun is separated from the verb, and removed to the end of the sentence; e.g. Utloela litldlo tsa me botlhdkd, Have mercy on my transgressions; Ela se mothd eoo o se go raeafi tlhoko, Pay attention to what that person says to you. Changes in the Negative Verb. 49. After the particles ka (since), fa (if), ere (when), etc., sa is always used for not, and changes take place in the following tenses of the Negative Verb: --Note.--Remember that after ka, fa, and frl, a is the pronoun used in the third person singular (he), not o. Of the Verb after the Relative Pronoun. 50. As has been notified above ( 17), the verb when it follows a relative pronoun generally ends in n; e.g. Mosiman6 eo o tshamekafi, The boy who plays; Linku tse li timetse...
