The click which is used, by the Kaffirs need not be attempted by the beginner in the language,--there are so very few words which require the click, and these few are quite easily understood without it. The ambitious linguist frequently renders himself quite unintelligible to a Kaffir, in consequence of clicking with every word, whether this click is required or not. It is far better to pronounce distinctly the simple word, than to attempt to adorn it by a performance which, as I have before remarked, cannot be perfectly accomplished until the individual has lost nearly all his teeth. To any person who may wish to advance in the Kaffir language I submit a conjugated verb as a model; but I generally found that _ile_, placed at the end of the infinitive mood, was quite understood by the Kaffirs for the past tense: as, _uku hamba_, to go; _hambile_, gone; _tanda_, to love; _tandile_, have loved, etc. UKUPOZA, TO DRINK. + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + Ý + A verb receives a prefix corresponding with the first letter or syllable of its nominative; as, _Poza_, to drink; _Inja ipoza_, the dog drinks.
