GABOON STATION, WESTERN AFRICA.

INTRODUCTION.

IT is now a well established fact, that all the inhabitants of Africa, south of the Mountains of the Moon, with the excep- tion of a few Arabs along the Eastern shores, and the Hoten- tots, Namakwas, and a few other small tribes near the Cape of Good &ope, belong to one great family or branch of the negro race, and all speak dialects of the Erme language. To this great family belong the Corisco, Mpongwe, Loango, Kongo, and Dongo tribes of Western Africa; the Kafirs, the Bech- nans, and the Zulus of the Cape of Good Hope ; the Nozam- biqne, Swahere, and other tribes on the Eastern Cotrst, and others as fiir interior as the country has been explored.

This great family of langunges is variously denominated the Kafir, the Nilotic, and the Ethiopic language. I t is essentially and radically different from all the dialects spoken in Xorthern Guinea, and in Central Northern Africa.

The Bakcle is a dialect of this great family of languages. The people by whom it is spoken are known as the Akdi peo- ple. They i re to be found in Western Africa, near the head waters of the Gaboon, but extending several degrees both North and South of the equator. T l ~ e Corisco, Mpongwe, and Cape Lopez tribes occupy the country between them and the sea coast, and the Pangw-es (a large tribe wlio have recently descend- ed from the mountainous regions of the interior) have taken possession of all the country between them and the " Sierra del Crystal" mountains.

I t is difficult to form a correct estimate of the population of the BakGle people, but it is probable that they do not fall short of 100,000.

They have all the physical characteristics of the great family to which they belong. Their complexion is not so dark ae that of the tribes between them and the sea coast, and not so light as those in the rear of them, who have more recently emerged from the mountainous regions of the interior.

In stature they are something below the medium size of the maratime tribe9 and their bodies are disproportionably long to their legs. They are mild, peaceable, and timid, but are fre- quently embroiled, nevertheless, in petty wars with each other, and with the surrounding tribes. They cultivate the soil to a limited extent, are a good deal addicted to hunting, and since they have reached the maratime country, they have become much engaged in trading, acting as factors between tlie Mpongwe and the Pangwe tribes.

Their language, though obviously of the same family as the Mpongwe, differs very materially as a dialect. The Bak6le has a larger number of declensions than the Mpongwe, and its adjectives and prononns, consequently, are more flexible and complicated.

I t has but few of the conjugations of the verb which form so conspicuous a feature in the Mpongwe, and it makes very little use of tlle passive voice, wliicll is just the reverse of the usage in Mpongwe.

The verbal resemblances are not very striking. Perhaps one word out of ten is the same, or obviously from the same root. The orthography of the two differ very materially, and, in this respect, the BakPle is more like the dialects of the East- ern coast than the Mpongwe, particularly in the frequent use of th, which is unknown to the latter, but very common in the dialects near Zanzibar.

The BakBle Grammar has been prepared by the joint labors of Messrs. Preston and Best, of the Miseion of the American Board at the Gaboon ; both of whom have resided several years among the BakBle pcople, andhave made themselves thoroughly acquainted with their language. Their future researches may bring to light some additional facts in connection with the structure of the language, but its general pl.iuciples are well nnderstood and succinctly set forth in the following pages, and must be of great service to those who may hereafter labor among this people. The appearance of this Grammar affords another p~oof of the indebtedness of science and scientific men to the incidental labors of modern missionaries.

ORTHOGRAPHY.

1. TEE vowel sounds which occur in this language are a, sonnded'as a in father, d ae a in all, e as a in hate, d as e in met, i as i in machine, ?, as i in pin, o as o ig note, d as o in not, and u as 00 in moon.

2. Each of these vowels has also a n s a l sound, which is repmented by nh written after it ; as mbnnh, house, nkdnh, tho back, d h h , good, kinh, the neck.

3. When two or more vowels come to ether they run into each other, and ai especially, pronounced fke i in pine.

4. In some words i is changed to z ~ , especially by old people, ae Ga no, changed to bwt, eira Eubiki to &ha Zubuh.

6. The consonant sounds are 6, d, g, A , j , k, 1, m, n,p, a, t s, q. y, a, and are ~ounded ae English. l? is always hard ; d has in some words a mixed sound, as if preceded by an 1, which ie not represented in writing ; th is always sounded ae the same lottere are in the, that; ty is sounded ae ch in chair.

6. Two and son~etimee three consonants come together at the b innihg of a word ; as, naputyi, custom, n g h a , to bark (as a?og). They are pronounced as i, preceded by a very short PI.

7. These when initials belong mostly to nouns and prononne, and the nouns in forming the plural take a prefix syllable, whose final is a or i, and then tl~ese consonants are separated ; e. g. mbirc, plural, barn-bia ; mbeh, l., mim-beka. And in any case when a word ending in a vowe i' precedes a word beginning with two or more consonants, the vowel draws to itself a con- sonant.

8. Consonants are sometimes interchanged, as thngdkd for lang$kEL. When also in the course of inflecting the verb, d cornee to be followed by i, the d is changed into j ; as h d a , tonjimli; and when in like circumstances t is followed by i, y ia introduced between them ; as tats tatyiki. Here also is to be placed@ tyi, instead of $4 ti, out there.

ETYMOLOGY. The parts of speech in Baker6 are-nouns, pronouns, adject-

ives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctione and interjectlone.

NOUNS.

Bak616 nonns have number and classification or declension, but no separate forms to distinguish gender or case.

There are two ways ofdistinguishing gender. The first is by placing.miali,won~an, or shanywh father, before the noun,wbile the noun, whose gender is to be distinguished, is connected with it b the particle, called the &' definite pronoun," which agrees in Lolension and number with miali or shangw6, thus ; mid6 wimboli, a she-goat ; mid14 mimboli, or mibimboli, shegoate ; miali wikuba, a hen ; miali mibahba, hens ; shmh w a r n boli, s he-goat ; bmhanh babimboli, 01. bamboli, he-goate ; shanh ngwubtba, cock, basha babakuba, cocks.

The other and more usual way of distinguishin is by placing the same worda, miali and sAungwJ They are then regularly declined as adjectives; (see declension of adjectives below) thus, for the &st declension :

Amboli yirniali, a she-goat. Bimbolz bimiali, she oats. % Amboli y.iehangwir, a sgoat. Bimboli bibmhang&, or baAaltgzoe, he-goats.

Nm.-Miana, child, forms ita maeculine by taking m h, man, as an adjective after it, and sometimes other w o d t a k e it instead of shangwg.

Cases.-The nomir~ative and objective cases of nome are alike, but personal and definite prononne (which see) have eeps. rate forms for the objective case.

When the noun to be put in the poeseesive case is the name of an animal or thing, it is placed after the uoun which it, and connected to it by the definite pronoun ; whic rm" takes the number and declension of the ngwa flrtie, a beast of the field ; the field; vindni vi thdir, a fowl fowls of the air. Ngwa, vi, la and ha, classification with the nouns that precede them.

But when the word is the name of the Deity a person or a relative, which refers to persons, the aj11able nrbi is sntaxed to

the definite ronouns, thas ; d a l i mimbi Anyambiii, the laws of God ; mdbhwundi ~ o n y w ~ , BongwG9s hoye ; abobi yi& nja, whose hat I

Sometimes this article ie wholly dropped, and they say, akoldi ~ddagd , d ~ ~ n ~ y s town.

A ain, mbi only ie retained, thus ; nyanh mbi Pite"r, Peter's mo 8 er.

NmdFIEE AND CLmImATION.

Nouns have two numbers, the siugular and the plnral. But some nouns are used only in the singular, others only in the plural, while others have only one form for both numbers.

There are nine classes or declensiongof nouns. The manner of forming the plural and the forms, which the definite pronoun, adjective, etc. take, when relating to, or qualifying different nouns, determine classification. Thus, it is said of two Latin or Greek nonns, nclturaUy neuter; one is mascnline, because i t takes a masculine form of the adjective ; and the other is feminine, because it takes a feminine form of tbe adjective.

FEBT DECLWSION. . ! h i e declension includes all nonns beginning with a and j,

except jombi,) and forms the plural by changing a and j into ki, thus :

SINGULAR. PLURAL.

Avaia;, biuata, Chest. Abobi, bibobi, Hat. Jdi, ax, Tree.

Nm.-Some nouns belongin to this declension have two plurals, thus : Sin%-AsAu; &or.-b&hu, or mwhu. The plural form nucshu, elongs to the second decleneion.

This embraces all nonns beginning with ,di, and forms the plural by changing di into ma.; but if di is followed by a vowel, di ie changed into m only, thus :

SINGULAR. PLURAL.

D W i , d & i , a stone. Diashika, mashika, a door. DidZi, qfJi, the nape. Dieki, d i , a law. Dbi, -9 voice.

Exo~~~ro~s . -Dina , name, makea m h , names, in the plural ; and diahx, e y ~ , changes to miah%, eyes.

NOTE 1.- fire, belongs to this declension, and forme the lural mu ; d&, car o, makes mumba, cargoes ; and dwh5 a R {rush, changes to mua 5, brushes. NOTE %--To this class belon the nouns which are names

of liquids, and some others, whit% have no singnlar ; se, mad- $a, water ; d i , oil ; 9nakd1$k&, sap ; makiemh, salt, etc. NOTE 3.-dlanga, the manstus, hse the same form in both

numbers, and belonge to the pl&d of this declension.

This declen~ion inckdea nouns beginuinplwith I, m, n, and Lli, and forms the plural by prefixing the syllable m;, thw :

IIRUULII. PLU W.

h, m h a , heart. Hhh, mirnbeh, hill. Nkonaa, minkmna, ring. Zh?i, mithali, law.

N m 1.-It must not he understood that all nouns beginning with I , m, n, etc., arc? of the third declension, but only such m form the plural as above. They are to be learned from the vocabulary and interpreters.

NOTE 2.-G,wnma, mouth, make8 miana; d i , the belly, makes rnili ; mulid, the head, miutiC: ; munh, a corpse, miunh.

NOTE 3.-bliaka, miaya, mihnhy&, mienhye mienji, mit%, midti, ~nigthe', midlin, m,hyungwa, take adjectives atter them, of the same form as other nouns of this declension ; but they are not changed to form the plural. NOTE 4.-iKbd, the arm, forms ma66 in the plural, and nkothi,

the leg, &thi ; the singular belonging to this, and the plu- ral to seventh declension.

NOTE 5.-Mob, the sole-fish, makes m w h in the plnral. Its singular takes adjectives of the second declension plural, and its plural belongs to this declension.

This embraces nonns be@nning with g, k, m, n,p, 8 and t, and forms the plnral by prefixing tbe syllable ba to the ~ingu- lar, thus :

SINOWLAB. PLVBAL

Qzobl.8, ba~so&, the ear. Zoshd, bab8h8, a parrot, eta.

NOTE 1.-Verbal nouns, representing the agent of the action, expreeaed by the verb, and a few common noung, which begin with n, drop the n in formin the plural, thus: Njotthi, pl. bctjothi, a ktller ; donh, pl. ) A h , a builder ; n u , pl. bak- &Ah, a bachelor.

NOTE 2.-Xu&;, a person, makes botyi, people! in the plural; mkno, a child, bana ; and d n & , the mullet, blue. These forms are all evidently euphonic contractions.

Thie declension includee nouns beginnin with Z and th, and forms the plural by changing the first sQlla % le into m, thus :

SINGULAR. PLURAL.

G n g d B , marig&&, the head. T b p a t b , e b , a hoof. .

SIXTH DEOLENSION.

\ This includes a few nouns beginning in Za, and drops this

syllable to form the plural, thus :

SINGULAR. PLURAL.

h n y u i , nyt~i, honeybee. &n yatha, myatha, a flea.

NOTE 1.-Some nouns of this declension form also a plural, like the fifth declension, thns :

SINGULAR. PLURAL.

Nf~dngd, I;a;nd'yd* { Xanadngh,

the end.

SEVENTH DEOLEN'SION.

This embraces some nouns beginning with m, n,p, a, t, and forms tho plnral by prefixing ma, thus :

SINOULbB. PLURAL.

Hbute, ' mam6ute, bottle. Njdi, maqjdi, gnu.

.~a@%ie, f world. masireba, ivory.

ETGHTH DXWZUUIOB.

This contains most nouns which begin with d; and forms the plural by changing vi into h; but when & is followed by a vowel the a is dropped, thus :

SINGVLbB. PLUXAL.

~ihdt9, laZarnbq a trap. ' 'Fionji, %iI a hatchet.

NOTE 1.- 7ek , firewood, makes Zeia ; vina makea m k , its singular belonging to this, and ite plural to the third declension.

s NINTH DEOLENSION.

This embraces a few nouns beginning with bi ; and forms its plural by changin bi into mar; but if bi be followed by a vowel, a is droppef, thus :

SINGULAR. PLURAL.

Biwobi, mawobi, a piece of 40th. Biali, mdi, canoe.

NOTE 1.-The following are irregular, but take adjectives of the ninth declension, viz. : bo8hi PI., mubo8h&, face ; bidnh pl., mdnh, brain ; biahikwd, pl., mahhikwe", back-yard; bdi, pl., mdi, a cavern.

VERBAL NOUNS.

There are four ways of formin verbal nouns. First : They are mostly Formed by prefixing & to the second person singt~lar of the imperative mood,and simply express the rneaning of the verb, as we son~etimes in English use the infinithe mood, thus : to hate, bibenika.

Nom 1 .-Many of the verbs ending in tha, thd and the", form their verbal by prefixing bi to the radical form of the verb, as bishambitha, to arrange. Others place b i before, and ni after the radical, to form this verbal, as bydliani to rest.

Tlie second way of forming verbal nouns, is to prefix di to the radical. This forms noune of the second declension, which mostly have the same meaning as Et~glish participial nouns. Btit some are simple noune, as, matoh, wants or desires. ,

No~~.-This verbal (with a slight 1 soind before the d,) is often used with pi, where in Englieh we use an inhitive mood, -

m g y * 11

tbne : slia ny8ngip.J dirtbnh, fear not to take ; lzgroa &lie p3 didi doty#, who is born to be kin . % I t is used with na in the secon member of a cisme or sen- tence, ae a m k j i n a dihkhi? b ~ & , he came and saved us.

The third forms nouns of agency of the fbnrth declension, (note 1, fourth dec.) by refixin n to the radical, and changing the last vowel into d ; tgu~ , ndBi, thief. But if i precedes the final vowel, the final is dropped ; thus, yGZi, a teacher, from jd2, to teach.

The fourth class of verbal nouns may be called abstract nouns. They express the mode of existence, or the manner of

~rforming the action implied in the verb. Their meaning and Blffarence from verbals of the second de~lension, may be illus- trated by a few English words, thus : Dikit7, going,nMia, gait. Many verbs can form verbals of this class and si nification, that will not admit thme of the second clma, thus ; Eba, to be long, forms Itlabia, length ; Iteng, to be large, forms nenia, length.

They are formed by an initial prefix and a terminational change. Verbs begiuning with b andp, refix m; all others

FI (except those beginning with r,% and n, w ich have no prefix) take n. The final syllable is changed into ia, unless it already tl~us end ; thus, from bencc, to hate, is formed mtenia, hatred ; kzlbcc, to work, nkuhia, a manner of working. But if the final have a k in it, the change is into kwa ; thus, ddM, to be weary, makes d h a , weariness ; and if it have a t, the change is into %a; thus, kata, to cut; nkatya, a manner of cutting. Poly- ~yllablee in tha, thA, etc., change into a ; thus,~'mbitlia, to wipe off, makes m imbia. Verbs e ~ d i n g in a, terminate the nouns in j a i kp, to dawn, nlmja ; pendo, to plait (the hair,) r n p j a . rhese ae well aa those in h a and &a, are evidently euphonic. Naeal terminations change to ngwa, thus ; n&nh, to take ; ndngwa, shdnh, to mend, mirbngroa. Nja;, to come, makes njebia; k2, to go, makes nkiebia.

PRONOUNS. !l!here are four kinds of pronouns ; the Personal, Relative,

Adjective, and Definitive. . PEESONAL PRONOUNS.

These have number and person, but no gender. The second and third persons, both singular and plural, have

formo for the objective case, which are farther modified when governed by, and incorporated with certain prepo~itions.

Emphatic forms, rendered more so by intonation, are used both eingnlar and plural, as also a enffix for eelf. The following ie a table of the ~imple pronouns :

ISINGIULAR. #OYINATIVE. OBJLCrIVE. EXPHITIC.

1st person, Me, M, men;. 2d " W6, &, gcbe and agzoe, Wni. 3d " A, je, or ye, ye, phi or*.

PLURAL. 1st person, BM& ba, bed&. 2d " B e ba, bewi? and beg&, 6egzoe. 3d " B d ba, 6 4 bbni.

NOTE l.--X8W is suffixed to each of the with the force of self, but not reflexively. put myself, etc., in theobjective case, they of the verb, or the word for body, thus : hd ba p k a manydi mabi, they praise their bodies, i. e. themselves. NOTE 2.-Ba properly belone to the definite pronoun, but is

used with the personal ronouns before all verbs, except when

E R the negative articles 8 a or tyi intervene, though the omission of it before t ese particles is not uniform. NOTE 3.-Tho preposition na is often incorporated with these

pronouns, thus instead of ncz we they say d i e , for na ye! mi, na beehi!! becomes na e&, and n a 6&, na bi, but sometimes the full form is used. NOTE 4.-Be&, be and b&, are often used as singular, when

other nouns or pronouns are connected with them ; as bb nu nya- ngwg, b and his mother.

There is also a chanw of form when pronouns of different pemons are compounde$ with the preposition na; as, be ad, I ctnd you (sin .), bena, I and you ( I.), beahi mi, I and he; a B beshina,Ian they; bendmi, I a n you and he; nana, with me and you, in the objective case. Por pronouns governed by pi? and woni, see prepositions.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS.

The definite pronoun in all declensions is used as a relative. (See def. pron.)

INTEEROQATIVE PRONOUNS.

Theso are nja, who, what ; mi, which ; and nd'l, what ; which are regularly declined through all declensions.

When the question refers to persons, nja is used; as qja kd nani? lwho says so 2 botyi bmja bamaba ? what people are those ?

Soluetimes nja is irre olarly ,lied before the noun, without declension; as, @a a &ha, what time? instead of adukwa ywa; nja &ha, what day ; inetaad of bualra; Wa.

NSja is also frequent1 need, referrin to thinge ; as, mahgW d rnah +a, what war s are those? $ut in the paarsive ewe (see possessive case of nouns) after any noun, imeans whose, thus ; m6mh lmr~n6i nja ? w6me house !

Ni is used interrogatively, like which, in English, thus ; avata y h i ? which chest 1

Ndi is chiefly used absolutely - as a ja na &Z, what does he say 1 a thi k d d ndZ, what is 'he doing?

These have number and declenaion ; and are, with few excep- tions, plsced after the noun, and next to it, in the sentence. The remarlre and illnetratiow of the pcprseasive pronouns which immediately follow, will equally apply to all adjective pronoun8 and adjectives also. So that having understood declension in its reference to a possessive pronoun, it ia understood for all.

I t may be men under the head of the declension of nonns, that the plurals of several declensions are alike; and they mi ht be ranged under one declension, if they did not take di # erent form of adjectivee, and adjective pronouns in the singular, thus ; dikctki, stone ; h g & k & , head ; lajetha, path ; all form plurals in ma; but their singulars take dlfferenf form of the pronoun, thus :

B&' dbm?, my rock. XmgW ZaM, my head. Njetiul myam&, my path.

The lnral form for my is tho same in all, viz, mumi; but ;e this di erence of the singular bolde through all the adjective pronoune and adjectives, and is the real cause of difference in declension.

P O B B r n PBOAOrnB.

Possessive prououns cormpond to the paeseesive cases of personal pronouns in English, vie. : my, thy, hie, hens, etc., thge ; &a &me, my name; d im &YE, thy name; d k &&, his, hers, or its name; diaehi, dimi, diabi, our, your, their.

There are yet others, to which we have none corresponding in English. Nga, another's ; ae dina dh a, another'e name ; d k diand, my and thy name; d*a f h my and your name.

When these are used without a noun expressed, an lz or m je prefixed, except when the pronoun begins with one of thee let- ters, thna; whose name ie tbie? &&mi, mine.

Othm in the eecond person singular place yd before the , noun, aa yd m'&: But as thee words are in constant me, we

and then it assumes the same form aa when used alone; as, cc - thi swa ndksi d h , he has his name.

Auareful study of the annexed table of decleneions will render W e r illustrations unnecessary, and make every thing plain.

DEMONSTRATIVE PBONOUNS.

Theee are yi, this ; yin&yi and yiB, that; whoae declensiom ma be seen in the annexed table.

&m. I.-- he use of yindyi is limited to some resent object; P as, dornbi yinhyi, that thing ; while yitri ia un imited in time or lace.

son 9.-Tmdyi is varioosly contracted in the sinflu. Now ita first syllable is dropped ; as, d d y i , what ie that 1

Again its fint and .last syllables are clipped; as . d y i n4, that man.

DI~TRIBU'~IVE PRONOUNS.

The singular of the indefinite pronoun for all, jsshd, is need to a limited extent for each and every ; thus, ytiwma nyeahi?, each or every evening. Ite plural also is reqnently wed, where in English we use every ; as, bilombi b h & bi bash? j d , every thing which we see.

INDmmrrE PRONOUNS.

These are wdkh (changed to in the seventh declension'), other, another, some, and ,je8$?11. ' T d k d repeated, thus; cct&k&-&k&, one-another ; repeated in the plural, eome- others.

DEFINITE PRONOUNS.

This part of speech, under different namea, belon t o all the dialecta of Africa, south of tho '& Mountains of the % oon." In South Africa, it is called "Allitera1 Concord ;" but not pro erly, as we think here. If it carried forward the first letter or sy ? lahie of the noun before it, to verbs, adjectives, adjective pronol~ns, and nouns, it might be so termed. But it does not always, nor generally do so, in any of the dialects known to the writer. It amounts; to this in many words in this language, but it has other and very important uses.

First: I t iqterposes itself between all nouns (except thoae of the- fourth declension, sing.) and the verbs which they gov- ern, as an apposition pronouu, havin the same case, number and declension, as the noun, thus ; as f angangob yi k& nani, the book, i t says so ; dioba di valk; the sun, he rises ; 2at2li bkwa, the stars, they fall. Pi, di and la, are different forms of the definite pronoun, agreeing in case, number and declension, with ashangangob, dioba and le@li.

Second : In like manner it stands, where in English, personal pronouns would be used, thus ; Ani yi nzaetyi, yi miishil&

nje, y i mivishilig rnimbeka njiki, the tide roae, at covered the and, i t covered the hills also; dioba d i d d i a , di panya ~ U G T ndanh, the sun rises, he shines by day.

Its form in the objective case is nsed for the objective cae6 of pereonal pronouns, aud also as a kind of emphatic pronoun in the nominative, thus ; ba mijeni vieteli, did vid 'Ui mikt2 hahi &bi, they saw the star. and it went before them. & vi refers back to vieti?li-much more distinctly than oar pronoun it can refer to star. M€ n a b mb ebb, I want to buy

them, ml Ma "r" llcl bikbndlt, zoa & bicrshbo? I have come with p antains, do you wish to buy them, bid?

Third : I t ie need as a relative pronoun; and as such, by ite nnmber and declension, varied with every class of nouns, identifies its antecedent with admirable precision, thus ; bilombi biedh?, bi beehe j&, all thin b i which we see. Bi, which, being of the same number an ? declension with bilombi, things, has two unmistakable signs of identifying ita antecedent.

Where in English the ~nfinitive mood is overned by a noun, % the relative pronoun is used, instead of t e infinitive mood, thus ; a thi na mabiim ma s h n h a shba, (literally) he is with money, which buys ivory. Euglish idiom ; he has money to bn ivo

KurtiY': I t is uaed a a demonstrative pronoun. (See dem. pron. ' this.)

F i d ? I t serves as a connecting link between two nouns, or a nonn and relative pronoun, to form the possessive case (see

seeesive case of nouns), and no possessive case can be regu- 1 formed without it. E: dxth : Lastly, it incorporates itself with all adjectives, and

adjective pronouns, and is indispensable to their declension. Any omiselon, as in the fourth declension, is an exception, and ver limited.

&e definite pronoun is inflected through all the declensions, and bas a dietinct form for the objective case, when used as a personal pronoun, which is also used as an emphatic nomi- native.

But when used as a relative pronoun, in the objective case, it is not chmged, thus ; d o q m ? ma ngwangcc a mz'bonhthi, the words, rna, which (not ma, the objective) the prophet opoke. N m 1.-In the-first and third declensions singular, there is

a difference in ita form when applied to possessive pronouns, from that applied to adjectivd and other adjective ronouns. This arises no doubt from contraction in the first,.an contrac- tion and euphony in the third declension.

B Ncvrz 2 .411 the singular of the fourth declension, ite use as

a pereonal pronoun is supplanted by the personal pronoun, and ita form can only be ascertained from its use as a relative, or as applied to the declension of adjectives.

ADJECTIVES.

Adjectives have number, c l d c a t i o n and comparison. The number and classification of adjectives have been snffi-

aiently illustrated, under poseessive pronouns. For the manner

see the table of declensions. AB they are all having learned one, it will be eas to a ply the

same principles to any other, when the root is own 'rom the vocabulary.

d P ooMP4IU80~.

Com arison does not, in all respects, correspond to what it is P in Eog ish, as may be seen from the following examples :

Of two, three or more persons or things, they will ask, which is old, lar e, small, etc. ; meaning which is the older or oldest, S larger or areest, etc., thus; na weni na yeni na many&ng&, n'a thi ntolz? you and he and your brother, which is old? L o t h e r way is by the uae of adverbs, derived from verbs, which signi$ to surpass or excel, thus ; sh& nipand a thi d n h nulami, or d a h & na shake ngw&yt?, my knife is good more than your knife. I

Another mode is to put p8h0 before the adjective, with or without Ivulami, or d a h i following it, in the sense of more or most, according as two or more objects are compared, thus ; s W ngwami! a thi o s h mibenh na ngw&yt?, or nzllami na wpudyt?, my knife is d etter than yours. Posho is an adverb of comparison in the Mpongwe language, and ita use in Bak616 may be derived thence, and not understood far away from that tribe.

Still another way is to put hi?, which is declined like the adjective it qualifies, after the adjective. This forms a compa- rative, thns ; &obi j&y& yi thi W n h , nji ~ a m k yi thi y&nh yihmt?, your hat is good, but mine is better. The superlative then is formed by a like use of ~ t e , nji yarn8 yi thi y&nh yidt2, but mine is best. A superlative is also formed b repeating the adjective, followed by na, and the thing cornparel

NUMERALS. I

In BakQ16 they count to five, when they repeat five and one for six; five and two for seven, etc., up to ten, dionz, used as a nonn of the second declension. Its plural is mabm, with an eu honic epenthesis of 6.

Reven is ten and one ; twelve is ten and two, etc. ; though they count by tens; that is, having finished one ten, they begin another, without repeating the numbers of the first ten. Twenty is mabm &a, two tens ; thirty, is mabom malali, three tens, etc. The word for one hundred, is nkama the same with the

Mpongre ; and the word for one thousand, they have borrowed

through the Mpongwe, from the Englieh. The following is a list of the numerals, each with the definite pronoun of the first declension befbre it, as is the manner of abstract counting :

1. Yiur&t& or yizooto. 2. Bda. 3. Bad. 4. Binai. 5. Bitani. 6. Bitani n a iwoto. 7. Bitani n a ha, etc.

10. Dim. 20. Maborn ma6a. 30. M o r n malali, etc.

100. Nkama or nkama wolo. 200. Xinkama miba, etc.

1000. Nutshen or nutshen woto. 2000. Mint&shen mda , etc.

DEQLENSION OF NU?dEEALfj.

Wdt& or zooto is declined in the ar, like an adjective; but in the fourth declension it is and in the seventh declension,. p&&.

Baa, btlali, etc., take the definite ronoun plural of all declensions, and agree with the noulls w 1 ich they qualify.

Nkuma and nibshen are used as nouns, and belong to the third declension.

PLACE O F !rHE NUDRAIS.

When tho numeral is less than ten, it comes after the noun ; a

rrs, bivata binai, four chests ; mali ~na tan i na maldi, (literally) . canoes five and three. But when more than ten, the ten or ; tens are put before the things numbered, and the multiplicator s after ; thus-mabom ma bik&nd& maba, tens of plantains two, i. e. twenty plantains. The numbers between ten and twenty, twenty and thirty, etc., repeat the noun, and the numerals after 5 i t ; thus-mabom ma bim.boli vnaba n a bimboli bitani, literally

. tens, of goats two, and goats five, i. e. tweuty-five goats. Num- bers greater than one hunclred a1-o expressed thus ; minkamn m i bimboli nziba na rnabmn ma bimboli maba nu bimboli bitani, (lit.) hundreds of goats two, and tens of goats two, and goats five, i. e. two hundred and twenty-five goats.

ORDINALS.

The folloloing are the ordinal numbers, viz. :+we&, first ; 1 yibalii?, second ; yilalie, third ; yinaie, fourth ; yitanie, fiflh ;

rur yboh, sixth ; yitanig nu yiba, seventh ; yitan2 , eighth ; yitanie nuyinaie, ninth ; yidinm, tenth. heae ordinals take the definite pronoun singular of each

declension, according to the noun they qualify, except in the fourth declension, thus ; in the second declensio6 dina ditanie na: diba, the seventh name.

The distributive numbem are formed by re eating the cardi-

etc. g nale, thua; yiwoto yiwoto, one by one ; biba iha, two by two,

-.-The labor of counting is llsually divided. The narrator of eventa very seldom uses the numerals, but makes a free use of hie fingers and the demonstrative ronoun for this and these; thus--me s t i thatha nzashu ma, 5 will there sleep daye these-holdin up threo fingers (beginning to count from the little one), whi f e the auditor immediately responds, M i , three. When the number is five, the clenched fist is held up. If greater than five, first the fist, and then the requi- site number of fingers are held up-the narrator using the demonstrative pronouns, and the auditor respondin the nume- rals, thus; mi? I ti tEalha m a s h ma, (the fist,) !? will sleep there days these-the auditor responds, matani, five ; narrator adds, na ma, holding up three fingers; when the auditor responds, nu mdali. The satne course is pursued with greater numbers, thus ; m e ti thatha m n h m a mi mashu mi (two fingere), na maborn ma mashu ma (three fingers), na ma ehu ma (four fingers), while the auditor responds mba, na malali rtcr; nuvnai, ae the narrator successively exhibits his fingers, and utters the demonstrative pronouns.

This manner of counting, though general, is not always used. The narrator will sometimes ive the numerals, but not with out speaking the pronouns, an5 exhibiting his fingera.

VERBS.

Every verb in the language begins with a consonant and ends with a vowel ; and this rule holds good in every mood and tense of every verb. The vowels which end the radical form of the verb are, a, &, 8. The substantive verb thi, am, is, ends in i.

The radical form of the verb is the indicative mood, present tense.

XOODB AND m s m .

Bakglij verbs have five moods, viz. ; the indicative, the impe- rative, the eubjunctive, the potential, and the infinitive. Of these, the indicative, imperative and potential, have independ- ent fcmple of their own. The parts of the subjunctive aremade

by auxiliary particlea. The potential a h can take badiari8~ in any of ite @ses.

There are fonr tenses in Bak4li3 : the preaent, the future, and two past tensea, called the perfect and indefinite past, or histo- rical tenses.

The indicative mood is the simplest part of the verb, and ita use to the earnmood in English. Its tema the fnture) formed by changes on the radical, mood that has all fonr of the tenses.

Tenses of the indicative. The preeent tense, like that tense in English, hae two forms, thus ; wzi? thi h a , I am sending ; and rnZ knna, I send. Thi is the substantive verb, tense. Negative in this and the perfect tense is formed y put- ting the particle sha, iiot, between the nominative and the verb, thus; rnZ sAa shbrc, may mean I am not buying, I do not buy, I have not bought.

NOTE.- IT&, to know, usually takes ty&, the negatite par- ticle of the future, instead of sha.

The future tense is formed by the auxiliary particle t, between the nominative and the radical form of the verb, thus; md! t3

. bma, I will send. Ne ation in the future ahangee e to *, d 7 thus ; m? i lolmc, I wil not send.

The pe ect tense is formed from the radical, by changing the last vowel into i, and sufExing mi?, thus; lomcl, to send;

lontirne, I have sent. This tense corresponds in general to the perfect tense in English. In some cases it means to have become, to be or do, and thus ia equivalent to the pment tense, thus; mti yi betyim?, the tide has become to rise, i. e. is rising : a hbhni?, he has become bad. Negation in thia teme is expressed by s h and the radical form of the verb. (See pre- sent tense.) -

-

The indefinite ast tense is formed from the radical by pre- E fixing mi and c angin the last vowel into i, thus : loma, to send; milani, sent. IfeQation i~ ex reseed by pyfixinp tyi to the tenae, thus: mi! tyi f sent not. This t e n a leaves the present out of view and refers to paet time indefi- nitely, like the Aorist in Greek. I t is used in all narration of past events.

The imperative mood is wed as in En lish for commanding, 5 exhorting, kc. I t is formed from the ra ical by chan ing the

3 4 last vowel into i and suf i in k, followed by a vowel ike the changed vowel, i. e. if the ra ical ends in a, a is joined to k; if in &, an & is suffixed ; if in 6, an 6 is put with k, thus ; Eoma, to send ; h i k r t , send thou ; shdeha, to deny ; sA&shik&, deny thou ; sliemk, to came ; s&md&, curse thou. The plural suf-

- fhes PCi tO the singular, thus; hih, lomilrani. But when

the sin lar ends in the vowel d or t, it ie changed into a, thus : 8&hi& deny thou ; sh&sh,ikccni, deny ye.

There is a form for the first and third persons: both singular and plural, signifying must, which may be conveniently classed under the imperative, t.hough it is not strictly philosophical to my, one comtnands himself or a third peraon. I t is formed h r n the second person singular by changing the last vowel into i, and always has its liomi native expressed before it, thus : a &mi&, he must send ; beshe Im lorniki, we mnst send. Sha is the ne~ative particle in the imperative, and is applied to this form ot the verb, except in the second person plural, where it ie applied to the regular plural, thus : sha lomiki, send not ; m(! eha lomiki, I mnst not send ; or, with a (1) must I not send ? and 8h.a h i h i , send ye not. '

The subjunctive mood is formed by the use of particles with the tenses of the indicative, not having any distinct form of its own. The future tense is wanting, but the particles often give a future meauing to the other tenses, as na wi? diemi; kh we p i m 6 , if you eat you will die.

Na, if, is the most used, especially in independent sentences. Bnt kd, mkdna, nadiarnbilindi are used in de endent sen- tence to draw a conclnsion, in the sense of then, t e erefore, etc., and are often used where in English no particle is put. Sha; and 9% are used hcre as in the indicative.

The potential mood has two forms, one is, in the tense the same with the imperative second person singu Vt ar, the other is formed by means of auxiliary particles, thua; mt! lo- mika, I may or cat1 send. To form the perfect, mt? is suffixed to the present, thus; lomikamd. But if the final letter of the

8, it is chai~ged into a, because it is difficult to accent of this tense on d and e. The indefinite xes mi to the present, milomikn.

particle ka is used with the radical in the yre- sent in the sense of may or can, thus ; me ka low. The per- fect suffixes w to ka, and the indefinite past prefixes mi to ka thus: me h e h a and mt? mi& h a . Sha and ty i are used M in the indicative, the former with the present and the latter with the indefinite past.

Nm.-Tho perfect and indefinite past sometimes corres- pond to tlie same tenses of the indicative and seem to be used Instead of them. The perfect in this way often expresses what hlre just now taken place.

Infinitive mood. The radical form of the verb is used with- out any auxiliary, as the infinitive is in many cases in English, thne : md Mmtr wwrha m h h , I am going to throw the net ; -ha, to throw, is the simple radical.

8

A verb in the infinitive mood, in English, governed by a noun, would be rendered in this lang~lage by a relative pro- noun and a fifiteverb, thus: meahimz ngudi nya k&m.& napti, I have not strength to do so; nya is the relative and kdmh the finite verb.

The preposition p? with a verbal Eonn of the second class, either singular or plural, is ueed like the infinitive mood in Englislr, thns : me rFien,i?y@ dikwe&, I am going to fell trees ; mi? rEiemepe mabethe, I am going to plant. The iufi~iitive has oxily the present tense.

NOTE.-When in the couree of inflecting the verb, the letter d or t is followed by i, there is alwajs an enplionic insertic~n of y between them; but instead of writing dy we writo the letter j, as its equivalent, t l ~ w ; &ndi?, to sweep ; &n;jik&, venjime; rnivenyi; tutu, to be sick; tutyika, htyi~rze, mitatyi.

These principles have an extensive application to the BakGli3 verb. They are the principles of forming the different moods and tenses. Most of them apply to every ~ e r b in the language, except two or three defective verbs. But there are in 8Olne verbs inodifications of these principles in so100 tenses upon eu honic grounds ; in others, exceptions.

$lie modifications mag be arranged under the following classes.

First: When rt verb ends in C? preceded by i, most of the conditions for formin the perfect terlse exist ready for use-

fl the penult contains t e union vowel i, and by droppin t? and suffixing mE, the tenae is formed! thus : aqie*, to carry; $ime, have carried. The historical tense is formed by prefixing ?ni to the radical.

In like manner to form the imperative mood, the e final is dropped and h e suffixed instead of ke, because it is easier of pronunciation. The remainder corresponds to the general rules.

Seco~ld : Verbs of this class end in a nasal vowel, or a vowel preceded by a nasal. Verbs endin in a nasal make no change 111 the radical, but add to it me an % m i to tbrm the past tenses of the indicative, thus ; n&nh, to take ; ~tdslhrnd, have taken ; rnin&nh, took.

In the imperative instead of adding k with t!~e rowel a. &or L', the nasal 7Lh and k are softened to ny, and a, & or i; suffixed according to the nasal in the radical, tlrus; n&nh, to take; ndngh, take thou; denh, to lurk ; d&nye, lurk thou.

Those in wl~ich a vowel follows tlie nasal, drop the vowel and ' add me and mi to the shortened radical to fol-m the past telises

of the indicative, thus ; dinha, to love ; dinhme midinh. The imperative is formed as above, thus; dinga, love thou.

Third Olaas: Verbs of this class have th? y or k in the last eyllable with a, &, or e, as the final vowel. l h e y agree in drop- ping the last syllable and suffixing md and ka,*kd, k6 to the shortened radical, to form the perfect tense and imperative mood, thus :

RADICAL. PERFECT. IMPERATIVE.

Botha, home", boka. BUY% bunze, huka. Buka, ' bum?, buka.

1. Dissyllables having th in the last syllable preceded by i, change i into a (or & when the radical ends thus) to form the imperative. Preceded by.ii they change ji into da, thus ; dimbitha, d imbah ; khhithd, k&sh&kd ; pinjitha, pindaka.

2. If the final th is preceded by a masal vowel, a kind of double imperative is formed. The nasal is changed t:, ng and a vowel added, as in the second class, and ka is added to this, the final syllablo of tlle radical having been dropped, thus: janhtha, jangakn, nyinhtha, nyingaka. Many dissyl- lablic verbs ending in th with a vowel, donble the final syllable in the i~nperative, thus ; b&th&, b&k&k& ; jetha,jekaka. Also nyah, nyukaka.

To furtn the first and third persons imperative of theee and the verbs under the preceding note, the penult vowel as well ae the final, is changed into i, thus : dimbaka, divnbiki; k&shhk&, kdshiki; pindalta, pinjiki; nyingaka, nyingiki, etc.

We may convcnier~tly form the perfect of these verbs from the imperative, instead of the radical, by changing the penult vowel into i, dropping the last syllable and suffixing mi?, thus ; nyingaka, nyingizm ; bdk&k&, b&kime.

PASSIVE VOICE.

The BakQ16 verb delights in the active voice, and will avoid a passive, even by a considerable circnrnlocution. Yet in a large number of verbs there is a passive voice, regularly formed and regularly declined, through all the inoode and tenses.

The passive voice is formed from the radical, by changidg the final vowel into ie, thus ; loma, lonzii? ; barn&, 6&m& ; mem8, mZmiZ.

In forming this passive, like enplionic changes occur, ae in the active voice, thus; if the radical was a k in the final, the passive is not kie, but kwe ; as, jaka, pass. jakwe ; if it con- tain a t, the change is into t.y&, tlius ; kuta, pass. kutyiii ; l e d , to write, rnakes &njit? in the pass. ; and vanja, to tear down, makes vanjig; and so of other verbs of like terminations.

Verbs ending in it?, have the sanle form in both voices. Verbs ending in a nasal or a vowel, preceded by a naeal,

change the nasal into ag, and by euphony suffix w8, instead of

a, thus; lank to courit; pase. lamp? d i n k , to love, paas. din@; or they form the passive from the second person eingular of the imperative, by changing the final vowel into tog; nangit, take thou ; n&ng@, pass.

All tbese verbe form the past tenses, imperative and poten- tial moods regularly, like verbs, whose active voice ends in -2. Those ending in kzoP; and gun?, have these forms unchanged in the imperative and potential preeent ; all others are regularly formed.

A11 verbe forming the double imperat.ive (see third class, note 2), form the psesivo from the imperative, by dropping the last syllable, and inserting a w in the next, thus :

RADICAL. - IMPERATIVE. PABBIVE.

Banhtha, bangah, bangwa. Be!n&&, be%@& &ngwi?. Jetha, jekaka, j h a . N*, n yakda, nya.kwa.

Verbs having th in the final, preceded by 4, foi711 the passive, by dropping the final syllable, and adding a to the ehortened radical, thus ; debitha, pass. dibia ; k&thd, pass. kdlia.

To form the erfect tense, me! is added to the present. The imperative a n 1 potential present, add ni and b a n i to the radical ,thus ; ban wa, bnngwarnd, bangwani; jekwa, jeAwa~, jekwani; dibia, $ibiam&, d i b h n i .

SPEUHS OF TEE VERB.

By the term species, is designated derived verbs. ~ r o i the radical of many verbs other verbs may be derived, which have a modified meaning, thus ; dona, to rejoice ; donish.3, cause to rejoice ; dinha. to love ; dinhsha, cause to love.

This is called the causative species. I t is formed by adding aha to the radical, with like euphonic changes, as in the forma- tion of the perfect tense and i~nperative ~nood, thus ; bernba, to stay ; bembzeAe!, to cause to stay ; pandd, pbnjbit.3.

Polysyllables ending in tha, th&, thd, drop this syllable, and add shd to the shortened radical, thus; dimbitha, to mistake, err ; dim&he, cause to mistake.

Dissyllables in tha, th&, th.3, drop the final syllable, and add Zit? to the shortened radical, thus; batha, to marry ; balie!, cause to marry. These are the general principles of forming the caiilsative

species of verbs, but a few verbs are irregular, or conform but in art to tbese rules.

!/!his species is always transitive in signification ; though the radical from which it is derived may be intransitive or neuter.

I t is varied through all. moods and tenses, and conforms to the general principles of their formation, with but slight varia- tion. Ttie erfect tense changes final I! to i, a n d adds m.2, thus ; bd&&, to bring or take back, bnliahim7.

The imperative changes ii to i, and adds h . 2 , thus ; bulishi- k w ~ . The second person plural changes I! of the radical to a, and adds bani, thus ; bdhhakani.

A reciprocal epeciea is formed upon like general principles, by adding lia to the radical, thus ; dinha, to love; dinhlza, to love each other; ng&m&, to whi ; ngbmilk, to whip one another; duma, to shoot ; dumilia, to s 1 oot each other.

The perfect tense adds md to the present tense of this species, and the imperative adds kani, thus ; dumilia, durniliamI!, dunailiakan8. a

A reciprico-causative species is formed from the causative species, by changing I! into a, thn's; dhha, cause one to be tired ; d&sha, weary each other.

The perfect tense and imperative mood of this species follow the same in the reciprocal species.

SUBSTAJSfTTVE VERB.

In Bakijlij, as in most other langua es, the snbstantive verb is irregular. The different moods an tenses are composed of parts of different verbs.

% Y h is the forin most frequently used, e. g. a thi rn&nh, he

is good. This form is used only in the present tense. In connection with the preposition na, with, it denotes pos-

session ; as, a thi n a mabdm, he has money, (lit.) he is with money.

Hi&, is somet.imes, thougll not so frequently, used in the same way as thi. In the other moods and tenses, the forms of bii and wutha

are used ; e. g. 7& wume t& I have beon there ; mi? miwu ti, or na mibI! ti, I was there. These verbs are defective, but regularly declined in the moods and tenses in which they are used.

The regular verb diya, to sit, to dwell, is sometimes used in the sense of to be.
