_e._ The substantive verb is generally (as in the normal state of the Semitic languages) omitted--_maika pilton_ = _thou art foolish_.

Almost every verb and adjective may receive a modification in its meaning by the prefixion of the word _mamúk_=_make_ or _cause_. Thus-- Tsháko[117] = come mamúk tsháko = bring. Klátawa[117] = go " klátawa = send. Kikwili[118] = below " kikwili = bury. Pepa = paper " pepa = write. That of composition is equally so; _e.g._ _ship-man_=_sailor_, _ship-stik_=_spar_, _stik-skin_=_bark_, _sél-haus_ (sail-house) = _tent_, &c.
