A NEW
MALAGASY-ENGLISH DICTIONARY.

EDITOR’S PREFACE.
zs

LQ HE first complete Malagasy Dictionary was prepared by the mis-
sionaries of the London Missionary Society, and printed at their
press in Antananarivo in the year 1835; it consisted of two parts,
° English-Malagasy and Malagasy-English,—the former was prepared
| by the Rev. J. J. Freeman, and the latter by the Rev. D. Johns. They
cS were assisted by three natives, and doubtless embodied in their work
; the result of the studies of their companions. It was the L. M.S.
~ missionaries who reduced the language to writing, and laid the
® foundation of Malagasy literature by writing and translating many
important books, including the Pilgrim’s Progress, the Bible from
Genesis to Revelation, and the two parts of the Dictionary above
mentioned; and all in the short space of 17 years. One of their
companions was a printer, and all they wrote was printed by themselves
at the Society’s press in the Capital. See an article by the Rev.
W. E. Cousins, ANTANANARIVO ANNUAL, 1884, pp. 43-47.

The second Dictionary, Malagasy-French and French-Malagasy,
was prepared by the Jesuit Fathers, and printed by them in the island
of Bourbon in 1853. This work was a great improvement upon that
of the Rev. D. Johns, and remains a very valuable book of reference.
Having had to compare these two dictionaries paragraph by paragraph
and line by line, I have no hesitation in saying that the Dictionary of
the Rev. D. Johns was drawn upon to a much larger extent than the
slight reference to it in a foot-note to the table of abbreviations would
indicate. The Hova explanations of numerous words are simply literal
translations of David Johns’ definitions.

vi

The present, the third complete Malagasy Dictionary, is based upon
the two preceding dictionaries. We have used the one as freely as
the other, and we hereby express our great obligations to the Jesuit
Fathers for the many provincial words and phrases taken from their
valuable work, as also for the great light some of these words throw
upon Hova words and phrases. Ina few cases we have been unable
to verify some of the words and phrases, and they appear in this
Dictionary as copied from the two earlier ones followed by a note of
interrogation in brackets.

The words in Clarendon capitals are either roots or derivatives that
have acquired a special meaning of their own; but when a compound
word or a secondary root appears in Clarendon capitals, the primitive
root, when known, is given in brackets.

Coming immediately after the root we have tried to show whence
the word has come, from Arabic, Swahili, Malay, French, English, etc.

Then with a slight inset, and in small Clarendon type, we have given
the derivatives, trying always to follow this order :—{1) TAFA-, (2) VOA-,
(3) A-, (4) the passive from the root formed by a suffix, (5) the form in
Mr-, (6) MAN-, (7) nouns, and idiomatic phrases illustrating the use
of the word. Before proceeding to another root, we have given in
ordinary small capitals (1) the compound words from the preceding
root, and in nearly every case giving the elements in brackets, and
occasionally words similarly spelled but from different roots; and
(2) the various simple passives derived from other roots. At first sight
many of these passives seem to be out of alphabetical order, but we
believe we have been quite right in putting them where they are, rather
than by mixing them up with the compounds of the preceding roots.

In many cases we have given references to synonyms, and have called
attention to words where there is some similarity in spelling or meaning.
We do not, however, say which are synonyms and which are not.

It will be noticed that we have placed TAFA- among the passive
prefixes, and that we have always given the passive derivatives before
the active. As to whether these verbs should be called passives or not,
we would refer the student to some interesting papers by the Revs. L.
Dahle and G. Cousins in the ANTANANARIVO ANNUAL for 1878, 1881,
and 1883. Mr. Dahle’s papers on ‘‘Studies in the Malagasy Language”’
in various numbers of the ANNUAL are also worthy of careful reading.

We have not thought it necessary to go beyond the simple MI- and
MAN- forms of the verb, except in cases where some different meaning
was attached to the word, seeing that every MI- implies a MAMPI-,
MIFAMPI-, etc., and that every MAN- implies a MAMPAN-, a

Vil

MIFAMPAN,, etc. We believe it will be found most helpful to beginners
to find nearly every relative, and every passive, active, and relative
imperative given.

In the names of plants, birds, etc., the names in brackets refer to the
names given by the natives of these provinces to these plants where
the specimen was obtained, while the wider word provincial (Prov.)
is put after words or derivatives mot in use among the Hova. We
could have localised many words, but we fear that, had we done so,
with our imperfect knowledge of many provinces, we should have been
restricting the use of the word. Many of them we know to be in use
in some cases in as many as eight, nine, or ten parts of the island; and
others, which we have only heard in one or two, may possibly be in
use in five or six or more. We must wait for further knowledge, and
for the preparation of a dictionary three or four times the size of this,
before attempting the localisation of all provincial words. In the
meantime it would be a preparation for that if residents in various
parts of the island would note the use of such words in the places they
reside in or may visit.

On pages 410-413 we have gathered up all the active verbs in
MAM-, and on pages 415-423 those in MAN-, where there has been a
rejection or strengthening of the initial consonant of the root in forming
verbs in MAN-.

We have accented every word, and two kinds of accents appear,
the grave and the acute, but this has been caused by our not having
enough of one kind. There is no distinction implied between grave
and acute. Not having the proper accent mark we have been obliged
to use two when we wished to show that ao and az were not diphthongs,
ai, and @o show that the vowels are to be sounded separately with an
accent on the zand 9. It will be noticed that in the earlier sheets we
divided some words by putting the accent mark after a consonant, but
throughout the rest of the work we have put all accents on the vowels.
In a few instances a mistake has been made by an accent on an a2
preceding an a, thus do, in such cases ad was intended. The same
applies to oy or o7 in two or three cases, dy or 6# was intended.

Every definition has been revised in consultation with J. Andrianai-
voravelona, the intelligent pastor of the church at Ampamarinana, with
whom the Editor has had 108 sittings lasting from two to three hours
each; another native, J. Rajaofera, who has been with the Editor
as student, teacher in the Normal School, and secretary for thirteen
years, has spent nearly three years in copying and compiling under our
direction much that appears in this work. In addition to these, An-
drianony, the pastor of the Ambohitantely church, sent in a list of old

Vill

words and phrases; but no other natives have taken part in the work,
except as occasional referees. We have gathered up much useful
information from a Ms. dictionary of over 1100 folios written by Mr.
Edward Baker, formerly L. M. S. printer in Madagascar,; we have
also consulted two large Ms. dictionaries in the L. M. S. library, Anta-
nanarivo ; the sheets of 24 pages, 4 to A lotradona, and the whole of the
letter B, left by Mr. Louis Street (See ANTANANARIVO ANNUAL, 1884,
Pp. 49); various pamphlets written by missionaries during the last 10 or
15 years ; and many valuable papers in the eight volumes of the ANTA-
NANARIVO ANNUAL. The Revs. G. Cousins and T. T. Matthews placed
their interleaved dictionaries at our disposal, and the Rev. L. Dahle
and Mr. Wm. Johnson have also sent in a short list of words, most of
which are in the Appendix; while nearly all the Arabic derivations have
been taken from Mr. Dahle’s papers in the ANNUAL. The Rev. W.
Montgomery also sent us a few words.

But we are under greater obligations to the following: (1) The Rev.
W. E. Cousins, who not only has revised his CONCISE INTRODUCTION
and allowed it to be incorporated in this work, but placed at our
disposal his interleaved dictionary, which embodies his notes over a
period of twenty years, and has sent nearly all the Malay, Polynesian,
etc., derivations. (2) The Rev. J. Sibree, F.R.G.S., who has made
the birds and animals his special study, and has also sent occasional
references to Malay, Polynesian, and Swahili. (3) The Rev. R. Baron,
F.L.S., who has contributed the valuable botanical information with
the scientific names as given by Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S., of Kew,
from specimens collected by Mr. Baron, and printed here as sent in,
the Editor being responsible for the derivations and arrangement
only, except in a very few instances. Mr. Baron wishes it to be under-
stood, however, that even after the greatest care has been exercised,
there must always remain a certain amount of uncertainty in plant
nomenclature, especially in regard to the rarer and less important plants,
inasmuch as native names are often loosely applied and vary much in
different localities. This remark also holds true of birds, insects, etc.
(4) W. Clayton Pickersgill, Esq., Her Majesty’s Vice-Consul, who has
supplied numerous provincial words, and nearly all the Swahili deriva-
tions and references,

The four gentlemen above mentioned have also read all the proofs
of this work, and have given me much valuable assistance as | have
carried it through the press. To them and Mr. Parrett this Dictionary
owes a great deal.

We have placed the errata in the Appendix, which contains words
received too late for insertion, or gives meanings and derivations result-

o

1X

ing from a careful reading of the sheets as printed. Any suspected
error should direct the student to the Appendix.

Finally, a word of praise is due to the L. M. S. printing office and
its able staff of Malagasy printers, who, while having no knowledge of
English, have in exactly twelve months completed the work ; the whole
expense of which has been met by the printing office funds without any
grant from the Society.

We believe this work will be found to contain more information than
is usually found in a Dictionary proper, and that it will prepare the
way for any future editor to commence a more thorough and complete
work than this can lay claim to.

A CONCISE INTRODUCTION

TO THE

MALAGASY LANGUAGE.

PREFACE.

T the request of the Editor of this Dictionary I have prepared a
second edition of the CONCISE INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

OF THE MALAGASY LANGUAGE, written by me twelve years ago. The
substance and general arrangement of the book remain unchanged ; but
I have abridged some parts, rewritten others, and carefully revised the
whole. Expansion, rearrangement, remodelling, and fuller illustration
would have been more in harmony with my wishes than the abridgment
necessitated by the requirements of the present work; but I have yielded
to the wishes of the editor and publisher, who required an introduction
of about 50 pp., and preferred using my book to making a new one. The
twelve years that have passed since the first edition was printed have
been fruitful in results bearing on the study of the Malagasy language.
During that time the third edition of Ny GRAMARA MALAGASy LE-
HIBE, by the Rev. G. Cousins, and MALAGASY FOR BEGINNERS, by
the Rev. J. Richardson, have been issued, and many important papers
discussing separate points of Malagasy Grammar have been published
in the different numbers of the ANTANANARIVO ANNUAL. I should
also mention the French Grammar of Marre de Marin, Paris, 1876
(GRAMMAIRE MALGACHE, fondée sur les principes dela Grammaire
Favanaise). The CONCISE GRAMMAR OF THE MALAGASY LANGUAGE
by G. W. Parker, published by Tribner and Co, 1883, does not unfor-
tunately contribute anything new, as it is simply an unacknowledged
abridgment of my own book. In revising for this edition I have freely
availed myself of any hints I could gather from the above-named
sources, and have made many small changes for the correction of
misstatements and the removal of ambiguities. The reader must bear
in mind that it is impossible in so limited a space to give the modifica-

xii
tions which many of the statements require. The book falls very far
below my own ideal; and I conclude with the hope that some student
of the Malagasy language may be able ere many years have passed to
prepare a Grammar that shall be abreast of our present knowledge of
the language, and be enriched with an ample collection of well selected
and arranged examples.

A CONCISE INTRODUCTION TO THE MALAGASY
LANGUAGE.

—< oo

CHAPTER 1.—THE LETTERS.

1—The Malagasy Alphabet (called by the natives, Ny Adidy) contains
twenty one letters; viz., all those contained in the English Alphabet, with
the exception of ¢, q, 2, W, and x,
2.—The vowels have the open continental sound ; thus :—
a as a in father : maso, the eye

e ” a ” late : efa, done
i » oe ” meet : mahita, to see
0 ” 00 - too : ody, a charm
3.—Y represents the same sound as i, but is used at the end of words, and
is sounded very light]

In recent editions of the Bible y is used in the body of words taken from the
Greek to represent the letter Upsilon ; thus :—

Egypta, Egypt Synagoga, Synagogue

4.—0 is sometimes sounded like o in hope, but only when used as the sign of
a vocative case, a8: Andriamanitra 6, or in introd words, a8: Rajéna, kapéty.

5.—In speaking, a final a, when unaccented, is usually elided before any
other vowel; thus :—

@) Mildsa dsy is pronounced ¢milds’ dsy
e) Mpandrava éfa » mpandrdav’ éfa
+) Manala iréo - manal’ ireo

0) Mandatsa olona » mandats’ olona

6.—In like manner a final 0 is usually elided when immediately followed by
another 0. Thus mamono dlona, is pronounced mamon’ dlona; but in writing
both words should be given fully.

7.—Final ¢ is always accented; as manomé, to give; mamonje, save! kafé,
coffee. This rule is so well established, that no mark of accent need be used in
writing or printing.

8.—Care is needed to pronounce all vowels with clearness, especially final
vowels, as a single vowel is frequently the only mark of distinction between
two words altogether unlike in meaning; e.g. olona, person, and dlana,
twisting ; manénina, to regret, and manénona, to weave; manana, to possess,
and manina, to long after; vola, money, voly, planting, volo, hair.

§.— When i or y precedes g, ng, h, k, or nk, a similar sound is heard after
these letters, as: mikiatsaka, to seek; mikidsa, to purpose; mingidso, to swear ;
ary kida, and also; anankirdy kida, another too; midingia, to start. This
usage seems to be confined to the Hovas. In printing this euphonic i is usually
omitted.

Xiv

10.— When in the derivatives two vowels would come together, one of which
would be the first letter of the root, and the other the final letter of the prefix,
an h is sometimes inserted between them for the sake of euphony ; thus :—

Thaviany not taviany) from dvy
Mihahosa ” mihaosa ” sa
Hahosdna ” haosana ” sa
Hahantérana (,, haanterana) ». @ntitra

11.,—The only true diphthongs in the language are two :—

1) ai, ay* pronounced like i in might.
( ao pronounced like ow in now.

13.—The double vowels e0, io, which oocur frequently, are sometimes
called diphthongs; but unless they are pronounced very quickly, the sound of

each vowel can easily be distinguished ; and in forming passive verbs, eto., the
accent advances to second vowel, as: dio, didvy ; mahaléo, mahaleova.

13.—The following combinations of vowels also occur: ia, oa, oi and oy,
00, a0e, and oai.

14.—In the combinations ai and ao each vowel retains its own sound, when a
is the prefix used to form passive verbs, e.g. aidina (idina), adrina (orina).

15.—Most of the consonants are ounced as in English ; g, however, is
always hard, as in gold; j has the force of dz ; s before i, and sometimes in a

leas degree before e, is sounded like a soft sh. The distinction between s and
is always maintained, the former being pronounced like «s in sun, and the latter
like s in zone.

16.—The Malagasy does not allow the free combination of consonants com-
mon in European lan and many of our words appear to the natives
extremely harsh. The allowable combinations of consonants are very few, and
the tendency of the age is to use short open syllables; at the close of a
word no exception is allowed to this rule.

The following combinations of consonants are found at the beginning of
words: dr (drddradrddra), ds, i.e. j (jery), tr (trano), ta (ésara), ug (ngidiny), mb
(mbola), mp (mpandrafitra). The three last possibly arose out of the fuller forms
ang, amb, amp. Comp. W. 243, and notice the common pronunciation tsy
ambélana for tsy mbola.

17.—In forming derivatives and compounds n combines with the dentals d
and t, or with the gutturals g and k, and m with the labials b and p. Thus
the only possible combinations are nd (including ndr, nds, i.e. nj), nt (including
ntr, nts), ng, nk, mb, and mp.

WN and m coming in the middle of a word before another consonant have usually,
and I think justifiably, been regarded as closing the preceding syllable (thus
man-da, fan-jaitra), though this isdisputed by some. Atany rate they should be
so regarded in compounds, e.g. an-ila (not a-nila), manam-bola (not mana-mbola).

18.—The above being the only allowable combinations of consonanta, certain

changes are necessary in forming compounds; these may be easily compre- ~

hended, if the classification and ities of the various consonants are borne in
mind, as the changes naturally arise between consonants of the same class.
The following is a convenient and useful arrangement :—

LABIALS. GUTTURALS. DENTALS AND SIBILANTS.
Pure bpm g kn d j (@ dzjtn
Impure vf h Irs 8

® Ai, ay are occasionally written, especially in older books, ei, ey.

xv

The consonants named impure are not able to maintain their position in the
formation of compounds, but are changed into their nding pure conso-
nants (v into b, f into p, h into g or k, | into d), or strengthened by the insertion
of a dental (thus r becomes dr, = becomes j (i.e. ds), and s becomes ts).

Wi is placed both with gutturals and dentals, because its pronunciation varies,
as it combines with the one class or the other; this may be easily perceived b
noticing the pronunciation of such words as mdnga and mdnda. The French
enumerate as many as four varieties of n in Malagasy; but the Hovas do not
make these distinctions.

19.—The above changes are required :—

(1) In forming derivatives that take a prefix ending inn or m (an, in, man,
mam, san, tan, etc.).

(2) When n or m is inserted between two words as the sign of an indefinite
possessive or ablative case (124, 5 1), as volom-bava (volo n vava).

(9) In contracting words ending in na by throwing away the final a, and
80 shortening the word one syllable ; thus manan (a) vola becomes manam-bola.*

20.—The examples given below illustrate these various changes :—

n-b becomes mb: thus man-boraka becomes mambdraka

a-V ” mb: ,, manan (a) viva ” manam-bava
np ” mp: ,, vidi-n-pardky ” vidim-pariky
n- ” mp: ,, an-fd ”» am-po

n-h » ng : 4, man-hataka ” mangataka
n-h ” > 4) voaen-hazo » voan-kazo
nel » nd: ,, saron (a) loha ” saron-doha
n-r ” ndr: ,, man-ré ” mandré

n-s » nts; ,, an-sambo » an-tsambo
n-s » Dj: ,, irai-n-séhy ” irain-jéhy

21.—The final syllable na has been already referred to as liable to contraction
by rejection of the a. Words ending in the syllables ka and tra are also frequent-
ly contracted by the rejection of the entire final syllable. Thus: mangadlatra
ia, to go away without permission, becomes mangdla-dia ; and tdpaka tongotra,
broken-legged, becomes tdpa-téngotra. When one of the impure’ consonants
(18) follows a word so contracted, it is changed according to rule, as if the
letter m or n closed the preceding syllable. 08 :—

f changes to p : thus tapaka fé becomes tapa-pe

v ” db: », halatra véatavo ” hala-béatavo
h » k: », sarotra hénatra ” saro-kénatra
1 » d ;: » mitarika lalana ” mitari-dilana
r ” dr »» zanaka Rabé ” zina-dRabé

8 ” te: », misdraka sdina ” misara-tsdina
z 4 @e(ie.j): ,, tdpaka séhy »» — tapa-jéhyt

22,— Words ending in the light terminals ka, tra, and na have many peou-
liarities in common, and form a class by themselves. Pére Webber these
syllables mutes; they are not actually mute however, but are sounded very

® (a) Before a word beginning with m or n the whole syllable na is rejected; thus manass-
pina-maso becomes manampi-maso ; fofona-nahandro becomes fofo-nahandro.

(3) Similarly the n of on (124, 6 1) cannot stand before a noun begi with m or
n; thus: rano-maso, water of the eye (i.e. tears); akanyjo-nify, the garment of the teeth (i.e.
gam) ; 80 too tori-maso, hita-méso, tompo-menakely, volo-maso, ai Nanohory, tendro-mo-
7a. ,

+ Notice that such combinations and contractions as those given in t} 19-21 cause no change
in the accentuation (comp. 3 58).

xvi

lightly, especially when the accent of a word falls on the antepenult; but even
then hey aro sounded. The final a is at times changed into y (124 a 2), the
sound of which, however, is so light that an a he might be almost as
appropriately used. When followed by a consonant, sound of the final a is
distinctly heard :—e.g. mangataka sira, to beg salt; hAevitra marina, a true
thought ; savatra nangalarina, something stolen.

23.—When a word ending in ka, tra, or na is followed by a noun or pronoun
in the possessive case beginning with a vowel, the final a is rejected, and its
absence is marked by an apostrophe (124 3 2); thus :—

Satrok’ dlona, some one’s hat
Fantatr’ Ikoto, known by Ikoto
Nalain’ izy roa ladhy, taken by those two men
24.—The M appear to regard contraction, according to the euphonic
laws stated above, an elegance of h; hence they indulge in it very reely,

and contract words that stand in almost any relation to one another. us, of

CHAPTER 11.—ROOTS.

25.—The variety and regularity of the derivatives (51) contained in the
Malagasy language render a careful study of the roots from which they are
formed absolutely essential to an exact and thorough knowledge of the language.

26.—Roots may be used as verbs active (avy, coming), and passive (resy,
conquered), nouns (trano, house), and adjectives (¢sara, .

27.—Some of the pronouns, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and inter-
jections may also be considered roots, as it is no longer possible to trace them
to simpler forma.

28.—The same root is sometimes used for different parts of speech. Thus
ditsika may be & noun, meaning the dust blown into one’s eyes; or an adjective,
used of the person into whose eyes dust has been blown.

29.—Roots may be divided into two classes:—(1) Primary roots, as cara.
(2) Secondary roots, as tsinjara (zara), homehy (héhy).

80.—Primary roots consist of one, two, or three syllables; never, if the
theory of secondary roots be fully accepted, of four, or five.

XVil,

$}.—Examples of primary rogts :-—

(1) Mowosyiiastias: cy, iron; ra, blood. These arerare ; see be, da, fe, fy, la,
h, So, re, ro, to, £0.

(2) DissyLussies : rdno, water ; tdny, earth ; mdso, an eye; irdtra, overtaken ;
kaka, a wedge ; sdina, mind; dzo, got.

(8) TursyiisBLEs: fantatra, known; sdniatra, first-fraite; tdpaka, out off;
riaaka, converaation ; nénina, regret ; dlona, persons.

83.—It will be noticed that all the exam of trisyllabio roota end in the
light terminals ka, tra, and na. There still remains the possibility that all the

roots in the language were monosyllables or dissyllables, as the follow-

g facta tend to show that the terminations ka, tra, and na are affixes that
have been appended to shorter words :—

(1) They are sometimes disused. Thus we have isa and iseka, one; irdy and
irdika, one; nama-ldhy and ndmana, a companion ; aka and ldkana. Of. W. 12.

(2) In certain words they are interchanged. Thus pétsika and potsitra occur
in the same sense; 80 too slana and élakélaka ; robéhina and robdtina ; fasika
and fasina, and even fasy. Of. W. 24. .

(8) Dissyllabic roots used in a sense allied to that of the longer forms are
by no means rare. Oom for instance: maria (ria), riaka, riana, teoriaka.

dictionary will afford many examples of such families of roots.

(4) They often obscure the real root. Thus sdkatra is not so near the Malayan
forms singap, ukkap, as is the passive sokdfana.

83.—The general rule for the accentuation of a primary root is that the
accent must be placed on the first syllable.

$4.—Probably this rule would be found to hold universally in purely native
words. Hundreds of examples analogous to those given above (31) may easily
be found. Some of the apparent exceptions are to be explained by forei
derivation: e.g. from the Tench, kase, cachet; kafé, café; laldna, lalodna, 7
loi; from the Arabic, mizana, mizjn (scales). In other cases, even if a primary
root can no longer be found, we may, as a general rule, assume its former ex-
istence, and refer a syllable preceding the accent to the class of monosyllabic
prefixes noticed in § 37. is, or foreign derivation, will doubtless be the
explanation required to account Yor an apparent anomaly.

35.—S8econdary Roots. Besides the primary roots above described there is a
large class of enlarged roots, which may be conveniently named secondary, as
they are for ordinary grammatical purposes treated precisely in the same way
as the primary roots. The enlargements the primary roots receive are of two

(1) Many of them take a monosyllabic prefix : an-, ba, bo, etc. See below,
§ 37). Thus to the primary roots ahana, hérina, dia, may be added the prefixes
Yo-, tsin-, ko-, thus forming the secondary roots rodhana, tsingérina, kodia. These
again may take the regular prefixes and affixes; thus rodhana may take the
active prefix mi- and become mirodhana ; tsingérina may take the passive prefix
a- and become atsingérina (imp. atsingeréno) ; kodta may take the passive affix
-ana and become kodidvana.

(2) Others again, comparatively few in number, admit of an infix (om),
which is inserted immediately after the first consonant. Thus from ¢ény, crying
or tears, we get tomdny, and from this again the derivatives, mitomdny, mitoma-
nia, itomaniana, ampitomanina, eto. So too with lomdno (ldéno), homchy (héhy),
tomoetra (tetra), and perhaps homana (hana (?), comp. hdno and Malay makan

food), though the accent makes this somewhat uncertain. The word karainkona
kainkona) appears to have an infix ar, with which may also be compared tsard-

XViii

pake and tedpaka, seréntosdinto and sénto, karénjy dnd Aénjy. A careful analysis
of the roots would probably disclose other varieties.

36.—Infixes are not used exclusively to form secondary roote, but often to
form adjectives, as: somdry (sary), resembling, likely ; tomadmotamo (tamotdmo),
yellow (as turmeric); they are largely used to form a class of passives, as :
tindpaka (tdpaka), sonokatra (sékatra) ; see § 82.8. On the importance of this form
as ing on the question of the ities of the Malagasy language see A.A.
iv. p. 20, with references there given.

37.—The an-za prefixes, The monosyllabic prefixes noticed above I name,
from the first and example in the subjoined list, the an-za prefixes. They
are very various, and are used not only to form secondary roots as already
explained, but also to form nouns and adjectives which do not admit of the
various prefixes and affixes used in forming derivatives. Their precise effect
on the meaning of the primary root is not easy to perceive. Their use often
appears to be merely ornamental, and one or another may be used indifferently ;

us from raingo, we have baraingo, faraingo, karaingo, with no clear distinction
of meaning ; often, however, especially when used to form nouns and adjectives,
they have a definite modifying influence on the meaning of the root. This may
be easily seen by examining such words as kifafa (fafa), kofehy (fehy), catovo
(tovo), tanddhatra (lahatra), tanéndrika (ondrika).

$8.—The following list exhibite the chief varieties of these an-sa prefixes :—

xix

The prefixes ending in 2 follow the rules given in § 8 16-21. Those without a
derivative opposite them (hi, kan, lab, re, s&) are not, so far as I have observed,
used to form true secondary roots.

$0.—Reduplicated Roots. Roots both primary and secondary may be doubled,
in order to express the repetition (A. A. iii. p. 42), the diminution, or (more
rarely) the augmentation of the idea conve od y the root in ite single form.
‘Thus many roote may appear in a fourfola form; see { 50. For examples see
W. 77-90; A.A. 36-46; C. pp. 61-63.

40.—As only the primary root is doubled, all that need be said about redu-
plication will be given in the following sections (41—49), although this will
necessitate the introduction of various derivatives that have not yet been
mentioned.

41.—Some roots are found only in the reduplicate form, as: /doldo (or, laldo),
play ; sdlasdla, deubtful; réharéha, overbearing conduct.

42.—In roots that end in syllables other than ka, tra, and na, contraction is
not allowed. Thus: fétey, white, becomes /étsifétey, whitish; toro, crushed,
becomes terotoro, ed to pieces ; mara, ed, becomes mdramdra, speckled
all over. The only changes ever ca by doubling such roots are those
illustrated in § 49.

48.—All trisyllables ending in ka, tra, and na, and accented on the antepe-
nult (that is primary roota; see 31, 33), are contracted according to the
given in §§ 18-24.

Thus: dnatra, counsel, becomes dnafrdnatra, repeated, or unimportant, counsel ;
éritra, thought, becomes éritréritra, meditation, reflection; réraka, fatigued,
becomes réradréraka, slightly fatigued ; fdntatra, known, becomes fdntapdn-
tatra, imperfectly known; sarona, a cover, becomes sdrontsdrona, a ial or
insufficient cover. The learner should seek for examples, and classify them
according to the various euphonic changes they illustrate.

44.— Roots beginning with h, and ending in ka and tra, lose that letter in
the second part of a reduplicate form ; thus: Aevitra, thought, becomes Aédvitre-
vitra, and not Aévikévitra, acoording to the usual rule uf contraction.

; 45.—Dissyllables in ka, tra, and na are sometimes contracted, and sometimes
simply repeated ; thus we have: mitdntdna, to hold; mitdnatdna, to be
as the youth); mahavabdira, to be rather persevering ; mivatravdtra, to pour
as rain).
46.—It has already been stated that nothing but the primary root is affected
by reduplication ; the following examples will illustrate this fact more fully :—

PRIMARY ROOT. DO. WITH PREFIX. RED. FORM OF DO.
Vadika Tsimbadika Tsimbadibadika
Rapaka Korapaka Mikorapadrapaka
Fototra Afétotra Afétopdtotra
Dio Madio Madiodio

Malahélo seems to be a compound word ; however this may be, the mala- is
treated as a prefix, and the reduplicate form is malahélohélo.
47.—When an affix requiring an advance of accent is added to a word in the
reduplioate form, the first part of the word suffers no change. Thus :—
Mamotopétotra Mamotopotora
Manamarimarina © §_Manamirimarina
Fotsifotsy Fotsifoteiana

48.—Contracted adjectives (128, f, g, &) retain the m of the present and
tenses instead of, or in addition to, the first letter of the root. Thus :-—

Marina (arina) becomes marimarina eee marinarina)
Méloka dloka) - méloméloka (not, mélokéluka )

In a somewhat analogous manner manad becomes in ita redupliéate form .:
nadondo, not manaotdo.

40.—Similarly, n is sometimes inserted in reduplicate forms. ‘Thus :—

Manteo eo) becomes mandeonee

anamp Py manampinampy

Mandi. (la) . mandinds

Zo » zokinjokiny
—<o-—

CHAPTER III.-THE DERIVATIVES,

50.—The derivatives are formed by appending to the root :—
(i.) A Prefix :—

ROOT. DERIVATIVE.
SINGLE ROOT.
Primary form Rapaka Mand-rapaka
Secondary form Korapaka Mi-korapaka
REDUPLICATED ROOT. |
Primary form Rapadrapaka Mand-ripadrapaka
Secondary form Korapadrapaka Mi-koripadrapaks
(ii.) An Affix :—
ROOT DERIVATIVE
SINGLE ROOT.
Primary form Zara Zara-ina
Secondary form Tsinjara Tsinjara-ins
BEDUPLICATED BOOT.
Primary form Zarazira Zarazari-ina
Secondary form Tainjarazara Tainjarazari-ina
(iii.) Both a Prefix and an Affix :—
ROOT. | DERIVATIVE, |
SINGLE BOOT. |
Primary form Lano Man-dand-s
Secondary form Lomano I-lomand-sana
REDUPLICATED BOOT.
Primary form Heéringérina I-héringerén-ana

Secondary form Tsingéringérina A-taingéringertn-o

xxi

51.—Ease in detecting roots and in recognising the force of derivatives can
only be acquired by familiarity with the various forms given in the following
chapters. In the above examples the root is hardly obscured ; often, however,
it is more difficult to discover, owing to the loss of its first consonant, as in
snandsa (sdsa); or toachange in one of its vowels, asin vonyéna (vdnyy) ; or to some
alteration in the consonant of its final syllable, as in sokdfana (sckatra). In the
‘word ampifamohina ( poka), made to strike against one ancther, the 0 is the only
unchanged element of the root.

§3.—The one fundamental rule for the accentuation of derivatives is that
nothing makes a change but an affix, and that in words of two or more syllables
this causes the advance of the acoent one place whenever the nature of the root
will allow it. (See § 101.)

However numerous and complicated may be the family of derivatives to
which a rout gives birth, every example will be found to follow the above rule ;
and the habit should be formed of learning at once the root and one derivative
with an affix (the passive in -ina or -ana, if it exists), and this will give a key
to the accentuation of any member of the family.

N.B.—Among affixes must be reckoned a, the characteristic termination
of the active and root imperatives, even when it is absorbed by the final a of
the root; thus: milasd, mildza ; tsard, from tedra: these are to be consi-
dered equivalent to milazd-a, tsard-a.

53.—In a few instances the accent, contrary to the usual custom, appears to
leave the root and to rest on the first syllable of the affix. Thus: ivididnana
(vidy) ; ankatodvina (to) ; etc.

—<~o—
CHAPTER IV.-THE VERB.

64.—Malagasy verbs may in the first instance be divided into two main
classes according as they require their agent to be separated from them
(a8 maméno azy aho, I kill him) or to be joined (when expressed) to them as a

ive* (as vonvciko icy, he is killed by me; vonoin’ ny dlona izy, he is
Filled by the people). These main divisions are well named by Mr. Dahle
the sejunctive and adjunctive forms (A. A. iv. p. 79).

The sejunctive division comprises all the active forms both transitive and
intransitive, and the verbs in this division (with the exception of a few roots
used ealinotively (e.g. avy, tonga, tamy) are formed by the addition of prefixes
only (79).

The adjunctive division comprises all the passives, and also a class of verbs
peculiar to the Malagasy and called relatives (95). The verbs in this division
are either roots or derivatives formed by a prefix only (asého, from sého), an
affix only (Jotoina, from loto), or by both (as angatdhina, from hataka).

We have thus in Malagasy three voices: the active, the passive, and the relative.

65.—Each of these voices has two distinct mood forms. One is perfectly

and, for want of a better name likely to be generally accepted, we
continue to call it from its commonest use, the indicative, reminding the reader,
however, that it is used not only as an indicative, but also as a participle, and,
with certain particles, as conditional, optative, cohortative, or prohibitive. The
second mood is the imperative, and is formed by the affix ¢ for sejunctive verbs,
and by o or y for the adjunctive. For the changes that take place on appending
these affixes see { 101. The imperative is used only for expressing positive
commands and wishes, but cannot be used in prohibitions, for which aza and an

© For the reason why verbs and nouns are treated alike see A. A. vii. pp. 85-98.

xxii

indicative must be used (e.g. mamonca, kill; aza maméno, do not kill; vondy ny
omby, kill the ox ; aza vondina ny omby, do not kill the ox). The imperative of
the adjunctive verb is as truly adjunctive as the indicative, but the agent is
seldom expressed unless for the sake of emphasis or for making it quite clear
that it is plural (sasaonareo, be washed by you), or when the agent is of the
first or person (anarontsika izy, let us reprove him; etaovin’ my zanakao
anao izany ! may your child do so to you!). Usage has fixed the meaning of
these imperatives as commanding actions to be performed by the person or
persons addressed ; hence sasdo ny lamba does not mean indefinitely: be washed
the lamba! but: be washed by you, and is in fact equivalent to sasaonao ny
lamba. It therefore follows that an indefinite passive imperative has to be
expressed in some other way; thus: Hallowed be thy name, is Hohamasinina
ante ny anaranao. Hamasino would mean, be hallowed by thyself.

66.—The imperative is sometimes used where in English a subjunctive would
be required (169, 1, 0, d, ¢); it is also used optatively (84).

67.—Each mood has the three simple tenses, present, past, and future (102).

58.—No changes are made for number, gender, or person.

A—THE ACTIVE VOICE.
69.—The various forms used in the active voice may be arranged thus :—
60.—Tas.E or THE AcTIVE VERBS.

NAME. EXAMPLE. MEANING,
1) Roor.
) Primary Avy to come
b) Secondary Homéhy (héhy) to laugh

Mi- with primary root | Milatsaka (latsaka) to fall down

Mi- with secondary root | Mianjéra (zéra) to fall down

Miha- Mihateara (tsara) to become better

Ma- Mahita (hita) to see

Man- Maneéso (és0 to taunt

Mana Manatsira (tsdra) to improve

Maha- Mahiro (aro) to be able to protect

Manka Mankamamy (himy) to delight in

3) Causative of ) Mampilitsaka (latsaka) | to cause to fall down

4) Reorprocat of (2) Mifanéso (30) to taunt one another

5) Reorprocat Causa- | Mifampiéra (éra) to ask permission of one
TIVE of (2) ; another

(6) Causative Rzorpro- | Mifampifanéso (dso) to cause (people) to taunt

oaL of (2) one another

61.—The simple active prefixes. The three simple prefixes most commonly
used are mi-, man-, and maha-.

62.—Mi-, or m- before i and 0, as: miditra (iditra), ménina (énina), momba
(émba), when prefixed to primary roots, forms verbs either intransitive, as: mipe-
traka, to sit; or transitive, as: mikapoka, to beat. The intransitive meaning is
the more common. Many of these verbs have much the same meaning as Greek
middle verbs ; e.g. miakanjo, to wear clothes; misdtroka, to wear a hut; mifa/y,
to receive seed or have seed sown in it (as the ground).

Mi- with secondary roots forms only intransitive verbs.

xxiii

The prefix mi- is occasionally used with a phrase, as: mimason’ ny mpanira,
to have eyes of one arranging cotton, etc., in hanks ; 80 too: miténda fdrardno,
midtan’ Ingory, mitaréhim-bdlamena, miodlom-bardhina, mitéetr’ andriana.

63.—Voerbs in mi- from secondary roots are so easily found that no examples
need be given (C. p. 74). One class, however, deserves special mention, viz.
verbs in mian- (or miam-). These have been appropriately called ‘‘verbs of
tendency,’’ as many of then indicate tendency or motion in a certain direction ;
e.g. miankihoka, to prostrate one’s self; mianavdratra, to go northwards;
mitandéndrika, to have the head bent down.

64.—Man- usually forms transitive verbs, as: mananatra (dnatra a), to
reprove ; but some intransitive verbs in man- are found, as: mand: athy by (ig to
dance ; mandéha (dha), to go. Some of these forms are more jeo-
tives; o.g. mangatsiaka (hatstaka), cold; mangdrahdra (hdrah at thin, as a
worn lémba.

This prefix may be appended to :—

(1) Primary roots, as in the above examples.

(2) Secondary roots, as: maninjara, to divide into lots, from tesinjéra, primary
root sara

(3) Numeral adverbe, as: manintélo, to do something a third time, from intélo.

65.—The sppending of the prefix man- to roots be ing with consonants
other than d, g, j, occasions the following changes ( Ton examples, comp. the
Diortonary, pp. 410-423) :—

(1) The simple rejection of the first consonant of the root. The consonants
go rejected are k, s, t (including ts, and tr) and (sometimes) h.

l . Man-kaiikitra becomes maniikitra, to bite
2) os Man-sasa »» Mmanasa, to wash
3) ¢ Man-tsiry ” maniry, to grow
4) h Man-hahy ” y, to dry
(2) The substitution or strengthening of the first consonant of the root
Thus: h sometimes becomes g; | is into d; r and £ are
by the addition of d, and become dr and (i.e. j).
hg Man-halatra becomes alatra, to steal
Man-lona ” mandona, to steep
1d Man-roso », mandrodso, to advance
s—j Man-séehy », manjéby, to span

(3) The: Re of the first consonant of the root, and the change of the
from man- to mam-. The consonants that require this change are
bials f, p, b, v; but b is occasionally retained, as in mambdéatra, mambanga.

(9) f£ Man-fdha becomes mambéha, to wake

10) p Man-pétraka _,, mamétraka, to set

11) wv Man-véha ” maméha, to open

12) wv Man-véatra ” mambéatra, to p

13) b $Man-bfbo ” mamAbo, to take captive
14) b Man-banga ” mambinga, to make gaps

(4) Before m and n the prefix becomes ma- (19, 3, note).
tie m Man-mésavy becomes mamosivy, to bewitch
16) mn Man-nénina ” manénina, to regret
66.—Roots beginning with a vowel, or with d, g, or j, require no change.
17 a Man-asa becomes manasa, to sha
18) e@ Man-esotra ,, #$manésotra, to take away
i i Man-iry ” maniry, to desire

Kxiv

Man-dé6na »» mandona, to knock
Man-gthy - mangthy, to bind
Man-jaka » manjaka, to present the jaka
67.—(1) From 2 comparison of Nos, 2 and 17, 8 and 19, 9and 11, 6 and 21,
it will be seen that there is frequently no difference in spelling between two
verbs in man- derived from different roots. In such cases the context is the
only guide. n, however, whilst in the indicative mood the verbs are alike,
ifferences will be found in their imperatives. Thus the imperative of mamoha,
to wake, is mamohdsa ; that of mamoha, to open, is mamoha.

eater her maha-, or mah'- before a vowel, forms what is usually called
the Potential Verb. The prefix maha- is probably derived from the verb mahay,
to be able (111), its use is wider than that of the other prefixes, as it may be
added to almost any word or phrase in the language.

It is used to express :—

(1) Ability or power (fahdizana) to perform an action. Thus: mahacaky
tény izy (—mahdy mamdky tény izy), he is able to read. sy mahasdkana dzy
aho, I cannot (have no ability or power to) hinder him.

(2) The bringing a thing into the state indicated by the root. Thus: manao-
va toy irony teena: tsy miantso, ka mahavory. Mahavory here means not mere
ability to collect, but the actual causing to assemble, and maha- indicates
operative and effective power. This use is especially common with a past tense ;
e.g. tey nahavory hoatrinona izy, he scarcely succeeded in gathering any.

(3) That which constitutes or makes a thing to be what it is (as the Malagasy
say, ‘‘ny mah’ izy azy’’). Ny haldvan-tedndry tey mah’ Andriana, length of arm
does not make (one) a king; izany no mahélona ny olona, that makes men to be
men. Comp. Prov. 2373.

69.—Other simple active prefixes are miha-, mana-, manhka-, and ma-.

70.—The verb in miha- is intransitive. It is called the Progressive Verb, as
it conveys the idea of ‘‘becoming gradually.’’ Thus mihatsdra means to become
gradually better, to improve.

71.—The prefix miha- may be added :—

; ° Man-oro becomes manoro, to burn

(1) To roots :—
i nouns, as: mihafana (fana), to grow warm
b) adjectives, as: miharatey (ratsy), to grow bad

(2) To adjectives in ma-:—
ie uncontracted, a8: mihamadio (dio), to become clean
5) contracted, as: mihamarina (arina), to grow truer

(3) To intransitive verbs :—

(2) in mi-, as: mihamisaraka (saraka), to get farther and farther apart
(5) in man, as: mihamandaritra (dritra), to grow stronger (after an ill-
ness)

(4) Occasionally even with transitive verbs: mihamahalala an’ Andriamanitra,
to grow in the knowledge of God.

72.—Verbs in mana- are similar in meaning to those in man-. Mr. Baker
says that mana- implies continued action. Pare Webber gives ‘‘rendre”’ as ita
equivalent.

Thus: manatséra is to make or render good, often implying continued action.
Mana- may perhaps be a contraction of manao, to make. Care must be taken
not to confound mana- and maha-. When the same root produces verbs with
both prefixes, the distinction between them is easily seen. Thus : munatsara would

=

xx?

be to perform some action for the improvement of a thing; whilst mahatsdra
would be used either of power to make a thing or of some quality exhibit-
ing or proving ita intrinsic excellence (68). abnormal form in mano- is
sometimes met ; e.g. manondfy (nofy), to dream, manordbona (robona), to grow
luxuriantly.

73.—The prefix mana- may be added :—

(1) To roots :—

te nouns, as: manadio (dio), to make clean
b) adjectives, as: manasdrotra (sdrotra), to render hard

(2) To contracted adjectives in ma, as: manaméloka (héloka), to condemn

74.—Manka- is a transitive prefix, less used than man-, or mana-, Often it is
not easy to detect any characteristic meaning by which to distinguish it from
those forms. Occasionally it has the meaning ‘‘to regard as,’’ thus: mankamdmy
meang to regard as sweet, to delight in, so too mankatélina and mankafy. Some-
times it has a causative power, as: mankardry, to make ill; mankaléo, to intoxi-
cate. Sometimes it implies motion, as: mankdny, to go there; in this sense it
is used with all adverbs of place; see § 175.

75.—The prefix ma-, occasionally contracted to m- before a vowel, as in maka
(2X), is usually employed in the formation of adjectives (128); but it is also
occasionally used to form transitive verbs, as: mahita (hita), to see; matdahotra
(tahotra), to fear; matoky (toky), to trust.

76.—The causative prefix mamp-. By changing the m of the above prefixes
into mamp- a series of verbs is formed meaning to cause to be or do whatever
the simple form signifies.

Thus: mitény izy, he speaks ; mampitény dzy aho, I cause him to speak.

77.—Again, by substituting mif- for the m of any of the simple prefixes that
are used transitively (maha- excepted) reciprocal verbs are formed.

Thus: mahita isike, we see; mifahita, we see one another. Mifahita, however,
is rarely used (see, as an example, Prov. 170), as mifankahita is preferred.
Maméno izy, they kill; mifaméno izy, they kill one another. Reciprocals may
be formed from verbs in man- which are not now found in the language; e.g.
mifanéna (tséna), to meet one another, as if from manéna.

78.—By combining the above prefixes causative-reciprocal and reciprocal-
causative verbs may be formed as required.

Thus: mampifanddhatra dzy roa lahy dho, I make those two men plead one
against the other; mifampahasosotra izy, they cause one another to vexed,
or they vex one another.

79.—The subjoined table will assist the memory to retain the mutual relations
of these various prefixes.

W.B.—For the signs of causality and reciprocity look up and down the table ;
for the simple forms look across it. Whether amp and if are to be regarded as
infixes or not cannot be discussed here; but for arguments against so regard-
ing them see A.A. iv. p. 91, eto.

80.—In the formation of the imperative mood of active verbs the following
changes are required :—

(1) The appending of the characteristic termination of the active imperative ;
viz. a.

Thus: ind. mamdly, imp. mamalia ; ind. mamono, imp. mamonda.

When the root ends in a, no addition is required, as the final a of the root
absorbs the affix (52, note).

(2) The advance of the accent one syliable.

This is the usual rule, but with certain classes of roota no advance of accent
is poasible (101).

(8) Occasionally changes analogous to those required in forming passive
verbs in -ina, and -ana.

To prevent repetition these are given in § 101.

81.—It is impossible in so small a space to enter into the tax of verbs ;
but the following hints may be found useful. ™

(a) Care should be taken to ascertain in every particular instance whether a
verb governs a direct accusative, or requires the preposition amy before its
object, as English and Malagasy usage are often at variance (190).

Most of the verbs marked as intransitive in the Dictionary require amy.
Some verbs have two constructions, thus: mitény dminy, to speak to him;
miteny dsy, to reprove him.

(5) A large number of Malagasy verbs take two acousatives.

These accusatives may refer to:—

(i.) Person and thing: manomé véla ando, to give you money.

(ii) Instrument and object: mamély sdbatra dzy, to strike him with a
sword.

(iii.) Limiting acousative (127, c) and object: manambdka fiandridnana azy,
to cheat him as to his royal position and rights.

For examples see C. p. 133, note.

82.—THE PASSIVE VOICE.
The various forms of the passive voice may be classified as follows :—

NAME. EXAMPLE. | MEANING.
1, Roor Passive Ta | Cut off
2. Roor with tafa- Tafafindra Moved
3. Root with voa- Voasisa (sisa) Washed
4. Passrve in a- Astho (sho) Manifested

@) From primary root Zaraina (zira) Divided
6) From secondary root Teinjardina fare , Divided into lots
e) From abstract noun | Hatsardina (tsira) | Made good
dé) From compound preposition Ampoisina tank) Expected
¢) Retaining an- of verb in man- Antsakdina (tedka) | Fetched (of water
from the well)

(g) Retaining amp- of verb causa- | Ampilazdina (liza) | Caused to tell or

(4) Retaining ampif- of verb causa-
tive-reciprocal in mampif-
6. Passrve in -ana (from roots only)
7. Passtve in -ena
8. Paserve with Infix

63.—Root Passives. The root passive states in the most general way that an
object has been affected in such and such a manner; e.g. tdpaka, cut, résy,
conquered. When both a root passive and a passive in Sa, or -Aana, oF &-,
derived from the same root, are both in use, a difference in their use and
meaning will generally be found to exist.

Thus: tépaka and tapzhina, cut off, are both used as passive verbs, édpaka
conveying the idea of something accomplished, and leaving the agent almost
out of consideration ; whilst capahina at once suggests the idea of an agent by
whom the act specified is performed. So too vaky, vakina ; levona, levonina ;
resy, resena.

84.—The imperative mood of a root passive is formed by adding a as in active
imperatives (80), and has usually an optative meaning.

Thus: rese, means, may (he) be conquered; sifrdna, may (he) be healed; éova
tolana, may your promise be fulfilled. See what is said of the imperative mood
of adjectives (135).

85.—Root with tafa-. Tafa prefixed to a root conveys the idea of complete-
ness, and often corresponds with the perfect of an English neuter or xive
verb.

Thus: tdfapetraka dho, I am seated, or have seated myzelf; tsy mbcla
tdfavory ny olons, the people are not yet all assembled. It differs from our
perfect, however, as it may be used of something altogether past, thus:
tafavory izy omaly, they were all assembled yesterduy. It uently implies
the idea of casualty, thus: ‘afatelina, accidentally swallowed. Pére Webber's
rule is useful: he says that tafa- yives an appropriate answer to an intransitive
imperative, thus: mipetrdha hiando, sit down, is appropriately answered by,
tafapetraka cho, I am seated. He also says that tafa- implies internal agency,
as contrasted with voa-, which implies the operation of an external agent.
Although there is little doubt as to the general correctness of this statement,
instances of the use of tafa- which do not readily harmonise with it are not
unfrequent, thus: tafavoako ny omby, the cattle have been taken out by me.

See W. 155-157; Dic. Fran-Mal. pp. 628, 629; A.A. 71, 72.

85a.—Root with voa-. Voa- (literally, struck) is a prefix analogous in
meaning to tafa-. With but few exceptions (e.g. voampakatra (akatra), voampt-
dina (idina), it is prefixed only to roots. It conveys the idea of completeness,
very much like a perfect passive in English. It may be used as the passive of
verbs either in mi- or man- that are used transitively.

Thus: voasdsa ny lamba, the clothes have been washed, or are washed; efa
nosasako hatry naraina treto lamba ireto, fa tsy mbola voasdsa izy, I have been
washing these /amba ever since morning, but they are not yet all washed. Voa-
(see preceeding paragraph) answers to the active transitive and passive
imperatives ; thus : manangéna ny cato, or angény ny tao, collect the stones ;

XXVili

the answer to which would naturally be, «fa vodngona isy (they re or have been
collected). The people in a church, on the other hand, would be described as
tafdngona, i.e., as having assembled voluntarily (84).

86.—Passive in-ina. By far the larger number of passive verbs end in -ina;
hence the numerous subdivisions found in the table of ive verbs (82); mone
of them, however, present any peculiar difficulties. e characteristic affix for
@ passive imperative is o or sometimes y if an o has preceded (55.)

Classes 6 (a) and 5 (5) are used as the passives of any verbs in mi- or man-
which are used transitively, thus: milaza, tells; lazdina, told; mandpaka, cuts
off ; tapdhina, cat off; maninjdra, divides into lots; tsinjaraina, divided into
ota.

Class 5 (c) is similar in form to the abstract noun in ha—ana (116, 7), the
only distinction being that the abstract noun ends in -ana, but the passive verb
ends in -ina. The similarity between the two forms may easily be accounted
for, if we allow a causative power to the passive, thus: hAateardna means
goodness ; hatsardina, caused to possess goodness, made good. Paasives of

is class usually serve as correlatives of the active verbs in mana- (72).

Class 5 (d) is not numerous. The following examples have been noticed :—

Alohaina a-léha), sent before

Alalanina (a-lalana), sent for, summoned

Antenaina snob} hoped for ack

Ambohdina (an-vého aving the back turned against
Ampofdina (an-fofo), taken in the lap

Classes 5 (e) and 5 (/) are simply passives of active verbs in man- and manka-
respectively. They are not numerous.

Classes 5 (7) and 5 (A) are the regular passive causatives. The active causa-
tive and causative-reciprocal verbs (see table of active prefixes § 79) are made
passive by omitting the m of the prefix, and adding the passive termination
-ina, making such other changes as the character of the root requires, just as
in the formation of simple passives (101). All passive causative verbs end
in -ina (or -ena in a few instances). is rule holds good even when the
simple passive ends in -ana. Thus sordtana becomes ampanordtina, caused to
write, or to be written.

The i of the affix is the only distinction between the passive and relative
voioes of causative verbs. Thus :—

Passive: ampanold-ina nae ; Relative: ampanolé-ana
” ampananir-ina anatra) ; » ampananar-ane

87.— Passives in -ana are (1) often similar in meaning to those in -ina, and
are used simply as passives of verbs active transitive in mi- and man-.

C) Often, however, passives in ina- and -ana are made from the same root,
and used in different senses, thus: from tdmpoka, are formed tampéhina, being
surprised, tampéhana, having cold water added (R. pp. 91, 92.)

(3) The most important use of passives in -ana, however, is as correlatives
of passives in a-; see § 89.

88.—Passives in -ena. The affix -ena is simply a contraction, thus: vonjéna
(vénjy)=vonjiana. Where this contraction takes place in the simple passive,
all the relative forms and the causative and causative-reciprocal passive forms
retain the -ena; thus: vonjena, ampamonjéna, ampifamonjena (vonjy) ; ckena,
ampanekena, ampifanekéna (aiky).

89.—The Passive in a- is of very frequent occurrence.

Xxix

(1) Its primary meaning is said to be that an object is placed in such and
CAA & noms as: afindra, moved ; asdndratra, raised ; apaka, made to touch

.A. 83).

(2) The most difficult use, however, to a learner is when it is made 8 correla-
tiive of the passive in -ana (and ocoasionally -ina) (87, 3). Many verbs that
ggovern two acousatives, one of an object to which something is done, and the
other of the instrument, meana, etc., with which the action is effected, make
the former the nominative case of a passive in ana, and the latter of a passive
in -a.

Thus in the sentence, mandso-tadlika dzy dho (I anoint it with oil), the body
anointed would be made nominative case of the passive hosérana (hosérako
sdlika izy), and the oil of the verb ahdsotra (ahdsotro dzy ny sdlika). The non-
obeervance of this distinction may lead a foreigner into gross absurdities. For
fuller illustration see R. pp. 90-93; C. pp. 133, 134. -

90.—In accordance with the rule given in § 52, change of acoent with verbs
of this form is required only in the imperative mood. —

ROOT. | INDIC. | IMPER.
Haro Aharo Aharéy
Kapa Akapa Akapao
Féno Aféno Afonday

91.—In forming passives in -ina, -ana, and -ena the accent of the root is
usually, in harmony with the fundamental rule already given (62), advanced
one place; and in certain classes of roots some further internal changes are
required. To avoid repetition these are given, together with the chan
mes 10 in forming relatives and imperatives of every class, in one table;
see 9 101.

02.—The use and construction of passive verbs. The Malagasy, in harmony
with their national character (A. A. v. p. 90), use passive verbs with far greater
freedom than is allowed in English. In many instances where we should be
content with making the object of an active verb definite or emphatic, they
would prefer to adopt the ive construction. Usually the nominative of a
passive verb is definite. us: Aitako ny vérona, I saw the birds; but not,
hitako vérona, I saw birds; this would be,, nahita vorona dho (167). To say
nahita ny vorona dho would be perfectly correct, and often either sentence
might be used at the option of the er. The distinction between them
appears to be that when the mind dwells more upon the agent and his act, the
active voice is employed ; but when the object affected by the act forms the prin-
cipal thought, the passive verb is more appropriately used.

93.— Passives may however have an indefinite nominative in any one of the
following constructions :—

(1) If the noun is preceded by isay in the semi-definitive sense noticed § 167 ¢.
Thus: aldo dry izdy tiando, take then which you like.

(2) If the anarthrous noun is followed by the emphasising no. Thus: /fa-
noharana no ataoko, a figure is what I use.

(3) If misy is used in the sense given in § 115.

94.—Verbs that govern two acousatives sometimes occasion difficulty when it
is necessary to use the passive construction. The general rule is that cither
accusative may be made the nominative of a passive verb. But to this rule are many
exceptions, and the different classes require fuller illustration than space will
allow. Cf. C. pp. 133, 134.

THE RELATIVE VOICE.

95.—The relative voice causes much perplexity to Europeans on account of
the entire absence of any analogous form in the languages with which they
are acquainted. This form is of great use and often enables a speaker or writer
to be very concise; but it labours under a most tormenting vagueness, and
often causes serious ambiguity.

86.—The relative has affinities both of form and oonstruction with the active
and passive voices.

a) The termination (-ana), changes of consonants, etc. (101), are identical,
in both moods, with those found in passive verbs in -ana. At the same time,
however, art of the active prefix (79) is retained. Thus: from the root ssa
are ormed —

VOICE. |

Passive

ACTIVE man-ase man-ash
RELATIVE , an-asa-na an-asa-o

(5) This blending of the features of the active and passive voices is found
also in the construction of relative verbs. The suffix pronoun is added to express
the agent, as in the passive voice (55); the government, however, is still
that of the active verb. Thus: nildza (active) ny tenindo taminy aho omdly ;
omdly no nilazéko (relative) ny ténindo taminy. This of course does not apply
when a relative verb is used partitively (99, a).

W.B.—It will be seen that the only special rules to be remembered for
forming the relative voice are :—

(1) For the present tense to throw away the m of the active prefix.

(2) To append the characteristic termination -ana (sometimes ena, see § 88)
for the indicative mood, and o or y for the imperative, making the same
changes as are required in forming the passives in -ana (101).

97.—Some relative verbs are used indifferently for the passive or relative
voice, 6.g. andnana, inéana ; for full list see first edition p. 30, or R. 84.

96.—The meaning of the relative verb cannot be clearly understood without
carefully noting the character of ita nominative.

In English we say that the nominative case of an aotive verb is its agent
(or subject), and the nominative case of a passive verb its (direct) object. In
addition to this, we may say that in Malagasy the nominative of a relative
verb may be :—

(1) A direct object considered partitively.

(2) An indirect object.

(3) A word or clause indicating time, place, manner, otc.

99.—-The subjoined examples will serve to illustrate these various uses. Let
it be observed that they are all simple sentences of which the relative verb is the
predicate. For the indirect and dependent uses of this and the other voices see
§ 105, eto.

(2) The nominative case may be a direct object considered partitively.

Nanalana ny volany, Some of his money was taken (literally, his money was
taken-from).

Xxx!
Bfa nahalaniana® be Aidny, kono, ny vdlany, Much of his money, it is said,
been spent.

It is this use of the relative verb that often makes it weak in assertive and
strong in nega tive sentences er, p. 16) us: Tsy misy tsy rape
anivon” ny rake, There is nothing by which you shall not possess this
i.e. you shall assuredly possess it.

(8) ‘The nominative case may be an indirect object; i.e. an ob ject that would
be preceded by dmy (81, a), if it followed an active or passive verb. Thus :—

ACTIVE : Nilaza ny ténindo taminy dho
Passive : Voalazako taminy ny ténindo
Rewativs: Nilarako ny ténindo isy

This use of the relative voice may be compared with the way in which the
so-called preposition verbs are made passive in English. us: nidnkina
tdminy ny sakdizany, his friends relied on him ; he was relied on by his
friends, sienkinan’ ny sakdizany izy.

Any active or passive verb with an indirect object may thus be exchanged for
a relative, if the indirect object be made its nominative case. Practice in such
transpositions will be found a useful exercise. |

(ec) The nominative case may be a word or clause indicating time, place,
manner, etc.

These may be thus classified :—

(1) TIME.
(Pours oF) : Ka faty no isarahana, And death is the time of separa-

Dussriow « on) : - Téy ny tdnin-andro hariva, ka kély no ananana azy, Like the
sunshine at eventide, it is only for a short time that (one) has, or
enjoys, it.

(Rererrrion oy): Impiry no hanaovako ary ? How many times shall I do it?

(@) PLACE.

(Rusr mr): Trdno atsimo sy avdratra, ka isdy tey mahaléna ialofana, Houses
north and south of one another, the Se thet does not make "(us) wet
is where (we) take shelter.

(Morton 10): Izdo fanjakdko izdo no hiangonan’ ny madinika rehéira, This
(my) kingdom is the laos to © which all the small ones will gather.

(Morrow yrom): Toa éfa nialany tdpa-bélana, héno, Toamdsina, Tamatave was
left by him, it is said, a fortnight ago '(Le. He left Tamatave a
fortnight ago).

(3) MODE.

(Mawwxr): Fa izdo késa no itondrako anaréo, For this, on the contrary, is the
way I govern you.

(Stawparp): Ny marika noméndo hidny no hanaovako azy, The plan you gave
me is that according to which I shall make it.

(4) CAUSE.
(Caves om Occasion): Héla-boatdvo no niadiany, The theft of a gourd was the
occasion of their quarrelling.

hi Broth ot the Imandiavato: with what is left (they) wash
eir) feet.

on): Sdingy kély no nivarotanao acy, Seeing a small sum was the price
Gm for which you sold it.

N.B.—The above examples illustrate some of the more general classes of
relations indicated by relative verbs, but no such list of examples can include
all the varieties of meaning that are met with. Instances are constantly
occurring in which the relation between the person or thing denoted by the
nominative case of a relative verb and the action denoted by the verb oan only
be indicated by such words as ‘‘for which,'’ ‘‘concerning which,’’ “in relation to
which,’’ ete.; hence the appropriateness of the name ‘‘reiative,”’ first suggested
by Pére Webber (W. 136-147; A. A. 65, 66, 368-380).

100.—The distinction in ing between relative verbs derived from the
various active forms enumerated in $ 79 does not usually cause much trouble to
a learner, as the specific moaning causative, reciprocal, ete.), is the same in
both voices. The only forms likely to give any difficulty are those derived from
verbs in maha-. It should be carefully noted that, as in the active, so in the
relative voice, these verbs have a twofold meaning.

(1) They bear a strictly potential meaning, and govern an accusative case.
This use is analogous to the first use already treated of (68, 1). Thus: izdny no
tey ahazakako azy, that is how I am not able to bear it. Here the suffix pronoun
‘*ko’’ denotes the agent who is not able to bear, and ‘‘asy’’ denotes the object he
cannot bear.

(2) They have also a use analogous to the second ascribed to verbs in maha-
(68, 2). ‘This may be called the intransitive use of the relative form of the verb
in maha-, as, when so used, it does not admit an acousative case. Thus: hdtr’
izdy nahafatésany, from the time when he (entered on the state indicated by the
root faty, i.e.,) died. Here the suffix pronoun does not denote an agent who
performs an action atocting eomething external to himself, but the subject of
whatever state is indicated by the root from which the verb is derived.

Owing to this use an important distinction in meaning often exists between
relative verbs derived from active verbs in mi-, man-, mana-, etc., and those
derived from the verb in maha-. Thus: andro nanafahake, means the da
when I set (some one or something) free. Andro nahafahako, the day when I
was, or became, free. Notice the use of such verbs, a8: nahaterdhana, nahasa-
zéna, nahalavoana, nahapotrahana, naharariana.

101.—The various internal changes that arise in the formation of such deriva-
tives as take an affix are best understood and remembered by classifying the
roota. The three main classes are as follows :—

Crass I. Roots of more than one syllable ending in firm a,® or in 0 or y.

Roots of this class are all accented on the penult (33), and on receiving the
affix they simply advance the accent one place. The final a of the root and the
a belonging to the affix -ana coalesce (voha-ana becomes vohana), and i-a often
beoomes e (voly ana becomes volena).

* By firm a is meant an a not belonging to one of the weak terminals (ka, fra, na). It should
be noted, however, that though these syllables are not usually able to maintain themselves un-
changed before the affixes, in some few instances they do 80; @g. rétra, ratraina; tanatdna,
atanatanaé, etc.

| (or biky) eka-o man-eke an-eké-o

Some few roots of this class follow the analogy of Clasa II. and insert a con-
sonant (¢, 8, or z) before the characteristio affix ; e.g. féha, fohdzina ; fino, fono-
sina; Gro, ardcana; kiky, kikleana; and some roots in y change this letter into
a or ¢ before this consonant ; e.g. dndry, andrdasana ; fafy, fafazana ; vély, vele-
zing.

Crass TI. Monosyllabic roots and their reduplicated forms, rvota ending in
two vowels (whether they form a true diphthong or not), and roots ending in e.

The chief peculiarity of these roots is the insertion of a consonant (v or :)
before the characteristic affix. The accent does not leave the root: but when
two vowels do not form a true diphthong it advances to the second; e.g. dio,
diévina ; mahaléo, mahaleora.

Crass III. Roots ending in the light terminals ka, tra, and na (32).

If the accent is on the antepenult, it advances one place ; but the distinguisah-
ing peculiarity of this class is that the root itself undergoes some change on
receiving the characteristic affix; thus ka becomes 4 or f (tdpaka, tapadh-ina ;
hohoka, hohof-y) ; tra becomes r, ¢, or f, the ¢ being chiefly used when r or v has
preceded (dnatra, andr-ina ; sdratra, sordt-ana, drotra, avdt-ana) ; 2& occasion-
ally becomes m (vélona, velom-ina) ; the ¢ of the termination ina sometimes
becomes ¢ (fantina, fantén-ana.)

D.—TENSES OF VERBS.

103.—The indicative mood of all classes of verbs the three simple
tenses: present, past, and future. These tenses are indicated thus :—

(1) Roots active (60, 1), and passive (82, 1), and all verbs with tafa- (82, 2),
or woa- (82, 3), make no change for their past tense; their future tense is
indicated by ho. Thus :—

> eee

FORM. PRESENT TENSE. PAST TENSE. FUTURE TENSE.
Roor Acrivz Tia | tla ho tia
Roor Passrve Rasy | rday ho résy
Roor wits tdfa- Tafavory tAfavéry | ho tafavéry
Roor WITH toa- Vaavory véavory | ho voavéry

eee rr

2) Verbs with any of the active prefixes (79) change the m of the prefix into
n for the past tense, and into h for the future tense. Thus :—

FORM. PRESENT TENSE. PAST TENGE. FUTURE TENSE. |
' Vers ur mi- Misdlo nisdlo hisulo |
| VERy TF man- Mandlo nanodlo | handlo

' VERB IN maha- Mahasdlo nahasdlo | hahasclo |
’ Causative VERB Mampandlo nampanolo | hampandlo |
' Reciproca, Vern | Mifandlo nifandlo | hifandlo

- Caus.-Recip. Vers, Mampifandlo nampifandlo = hampifandlo

' itecrp.-Cavs. VERB: Mifampandlo nifampanclo =‘ hifampandlo

(3) All passive verbs in -ina, -ana, or -ena (82,5,6,7), that begin with a
vowel, all passive verbs in a- (82, 4), and all relative verbs, add n to the present
tense as a sign of the past, and h as a sign of the future. Thus:—

| FORM. PRESENT TENSE. PAST TENSE. FUTURE TENSE.

PassivE IN -ina Alaina nalaina haliina
» Omdnina nomanina homanina
» Anatsinémina nanatsinomina hanatsinémina
Passtve iN -ana Ovana novana hovina
PaSsSIvE IN -ena Oména noména homeéna
Passive IN a- Aobva nadva hadva.
Asolo nasolo haadlo
RELATIVE FROM
VEER IN mi- Tlazina nilazana hilazana
RELaTIVE FROM
Vers 1x man- | Analina nanalana hanalana

Vers in maha-| Ahafatésana nahafatésana hahafatésana

XXXVI

(4) Passives in -ina, -ana, or -ena (82,5,6,7), beginning with a consonant, add
no- a8 a sign of the past tense, and ho- as a sign of the future. Thus :—

FORM. ! PRESENT TENSE. | PAST TENGE. | FUTURE TENBE. |
Paservg rm -ina | Lasaina nolaziina holasaina. |
% | Hatsardina nohataaraina bohatearaina. |

PassIvE IN -ana ' Vahana novahana hovahana.
” | Ravana noravana horavana. |
Passtvek IN -ena Vonjéna novonjéna hovonjéna.
Toneéna notonéna hotonéna.

Some think that these signs of tense ‘no- and ho-) should be printed with a
hyphen (no-ronjéna, ho-vonjena) ; formerly they were printed as distinct words
(no vonjena, ho vonjéena).

108.—To any of these tenses the auxiliary ¢fz, done, may be added. Some-
times ¢fa conveys the idea of completeness ; oftener it must be translated by
“‘veally,’’ “‘actually,’’? with an inoomplete tense.

Thus: efa mando means, is doing, is really doing, has begun to do, and is
now in the act of doing. With an adjective it means, ‘thas become,”’ e.g. efa
madio izy, he is now, or has become, clean. Efa with a past is sometimes
translated as an English pluperfect, as: ¢fa nandositra izy vao tonga téo aho,
he had escaped before I got there. This, however, is not owing simply to
the efa ; for we may just as correctly say: efa nando azy izy tdmin’ izadho tonga
téo, he was in the act of doing them when I got there. Efa with a future has
the meaning ‘‘on the point of,’’ ‘‘just about to.”’ Efa ho faty izy, he is on the
point of death; ¢fa handcha aho, I am just about to go. Thus, the Malagasy
have no forms that necessarily correspond with our perfect, pluperfect, or
future perfect tenses.
mt—4 compound future is formed by placing ho before a past tense.

Us :—

Nando ho nankaty izy, he intended to come here; tékony ho nandéha hiando,

you should have gone.

E.—THE PARTICIPIAL, INFINITIVAL, CONDITIONAL, HORTATIVE,
AND PROHIBITIVE USES OF THE INDICATIVE MOOD.
1065.—The indicative mood may be used in any voice and tense as an adjeo-
tive or participle. Thus :—

ACTIVE : Zazacdry mandihy, Dancing girls, or girls dancing.
PaasstvE: Vola nangaldrina, Stolen money.
RenativE: Antsy handidiana, A knife for cutting with.

This adjectival use is common when a noun is to be understood. Thus :—

Acrive : Ny manana, The (men) possessing, i.e. the rich.
PasstvE: Ny natao, The (deed) done.
Retative: Ny Aandidiana, The (instrament, etc.) for cutting.

106.—The indicative mood is also uently used, where in other languages
an infinitive would be required. freq y

XXXVI
(s) Simply as a noun, usually with the article (168 a.)

Active: Ny mangélatra, Stealing.
Passtve: Ny hohetézana, The having the hair cut (at some future

time).
Retative: Ny nonjacrans, The (past) act of sewing considered in con-
nection with all its circumstances.

W.B.—Such constructions as the above are equivocal, unless their meaning
is rendered certain by the context. Thus: ‘“‘ny mangalatra,’’ may mean ‘‘the
thieves,’’ as above (106).

(5) As dependent on another verb.

AocttvE: Asdiko mando izy, He is bidden by me to do it).

Passive: Mananténa hatdo kapitéeny izy, He hopes to be made captain.
Nasdiko naléfa izy, I him to be set at liberty.

Retarive: Nidndry hanirdhako izsy, He waited to be sent to by me.

107.—An imperative may be followed by a present or future of any voice.
us :—

Acrrve: § Ento médy izy, Take it (to go) home.
PasstvE: Ento hosasdna izy, Take it to be washed.
Rerative: Ento handovana akénjo izy, Take it to make a dress of it.

106.—No conditioual mood exists. Conditional sentences are indicated by
the conjunctions raha, nony, etc., used with the indicative.

109.—Cohortative sentences may be rendered :—
(1) By an indicative future preceded by adka or andéha. Thus :—

Aoka hihira isika, Let us ang.

Aoka hosakanantsika izy, Let him be hindered by us.

Aoha hamonéanisika izy, Let some of them be killed by us.

Andcha hampodintsika izy, Let him be sent home by us.

Andéha is sometimes followed by a present tense, as: Andéha
maka rano, Go and fetch some water.

(2) By an imperative with the suffix pronoun- nisika. Thus :—
Anarontsika izy, Let him be reproved by us.

110.—The imperative mood is not used in prohibitions. To express these
the present indicative preceded by ‘‘aza’’ must be used. Thus :—

ACTIVE : Aza mitény hiando, Do not speak.

Aza hiando no mitény aloha, Let it not be you who speak first.
Passtve: 434 ambérando izdo, Let not this be told by you.
ReEwatrvs: Aza analando itony, Let not these have any taken from them by

you.
Aza izaho no andovando izdny, Let it not be to (or fur) me that
you do that.

Aza may be similarly used with adjectives. Thus: Aza mcnatra foanu isika,

Let us not be needlessly ashamed. d:a is often used in deprecations. Thus:
Aza tainiko, May I not be blamed ; Aza fady adho, Excuse me.

XXXVI

¥.—THE VERBS MAHAZO, MAHAY, METY, TIA (TA-TE-), and MISY.

111.—The verbs named above are in very common use, and it is important
to notice both their meaning and their construction.

Mahaso implies practicability or permission: Tsay mahdzo mando isdny aho, I
cannot (or must not) do that, for something hinders (or forbids) me.

Mahay implies ability or skit? : Tay mahdy mando izdny ého, I have no ability
to do that.

Maty implies consent: Tsy méty mando izdny aho, I am not willing to do
that.

Tia implies desire: Tey td-hando isdny dho, I have no desire to do that.
118.—The following forms of these verbs are in use :—

MOOD | ACTIVE | PASSIVE. | RELATIVE
— -—- -|

Inn. Mahazo Azo Ahazoana
Iu. Mahazéa Ahazé6yt
Inv. Mahay Hay Ahiizana
Isp. Mahaiza Ahaizot

Inp. Mey Etézana

Iu. Metéza Etazot

Imp. Tia (ta-, te-)* Tiana Itidvana

Imp. Tidva Tiavo Itiavot

Inn. Misy Isiana

Ine Misia Isiot

118.—The active and relative forms of mahdzo, mahdy, and mety require to be
followed by an active. Thus :—

Mahdzo mando izy, He has an opportunity of doing.

Izany no tsy nahaizako nando dsy, That was the reason [ could not do it.

114.—The possive forms dzo and Ady require to be followed by a passive or
a relative. Thus :— .

Azoko sordtana, Able by me to be written, i.e. can be written by me, for
nothing hinders.

Tay haiko anordtans io péna io, I cannot write with that pen.

Azony nanalana va ireny lamba irény, Had he an opportunity of taking any of
those lamba ?

The pronoun is affixed to the auxiliary, as in the above examples.

115.—Misy often serves to show that the verb it precedes applies only to
some of the persons or things indicated by the subject. Thus :—

Misla midina éto hianaréo, Let some of you come down here.
Misy mandainga ny olona, There are people who tell lies.
Misy hataoko sdtroka va? Is there anything I can make into a hat ? -

* The contracted form ta- is generally used with the future of verbs in man-, mahas,
mamp.-, otc.; the form te- with the future of verbs in mi-, or before ho. ‘Thus: ta-hande
ta-hampilasa, te-hilasa, te-ho faty.

REMARKS ON THE NOUN FORMS.

117.—The verbal noun in -ana follows the analogy of passive verbs in -ana
(82, 101); hence its name, which must be considered as referring to its form
rather than to its meaning.

118.—The forms marked as verbal follow the analogy of verbs in formation,
meaning, and government (C. pp. 65-67, 124-127). The f and mp usually
convey the idea of habituality.

The name modal for nouns like famono has been chosen because all nouns of
this form may be used to express the mode of the action indicated by the verb
in mi-, man-, mampi-, etc., from which they are derived. When thus used,
such nouns are often preceded by an adjective, thus: tsdra jildaza, good as to
the manner of speaking.

This form is also used to denote :—

(1) A Cusromany InsTRUMENT, as: fanjditra, a needle, from manjditra (zdttra),
to sew.

(2) A Customary AGENT, as: fanddinga, a habitual liar, from manddinga
(fasnga), to lie.

(3) A Customary OsyEct, as: fandtitra, an offering, i.e. a thing usuall

ered, from mandtitra (dtitra), to offer ; fanompo, a person usually served,
from manompo (tompo), to serve. See C. p. 126.

119.—The relative noun has a meaning as wide as that of the relative verb
from which it is formed (96-99). The f simply adds the idea of habituality,
and converts the verb into a noun.

The meaning of a relative noun is often rendered clearer by placing another
noun before it to show whether it is used to express a relution of time, or place,
etc.; thus: trano fivavdhana, a house of prayer; ny andro fitsarana, the day of
judgment.

xi

190.—A noun of the t should not be used of a person who casually or
rarely performs the aot denoted by the verb from which it is formed, thus: a
man who once utters a falsehood is not to be called mpanddinga, but, “hilaky
nandainga.

121.—The distinction between the various abstract nouns is thus given by
Pére Webber (239-241) : Aatsdra signifies intrinsic goodness ; Aateardna, oxtrinsic
goodness, or goodness embodied in deeds ; fahatsardna, goodness as @ source or
principle of good deeds; but in practice it is difficult to perceive any distinction

tween them.

The form fahalalina is similar in meaning to halalina. These two forms are
seldom used without the suffix pronoun my. They are really habitual modal
nouns derived from verbs in ,

INDICATIONS OF CASE.

122.—The Malagasy language has no declensions; and the cases of nouns
oan often be known only from their connection. Sometimes, however, there ure
other indications.

133.—An accusative case may be known :—
(2) Sometimes by its position (199, 8).
| Nahandro ny vorombe ny ankizivdvy, The servant cooked the goose.
Nahandro ny ankizivavy ny vérombée, The goose cooked the servant.
(5) omotimes by the particle any (used before proper nouns and some pro-
nouns).
Nunomé véla an-dRamena izy, He gave Ramena some money.
Nanomé véla any iréo dlona tréo izy, He gave those people sume money.
124.—A possessive case may be known :—
(2) When the noun in the possessive case is made definite by the artiole ny:
(1) If the governing word does not end in one of the light terminals, by the
addition of n’ to the governing noun or verb. Thus :—
Tranon’ ny sakaizako, House of my friend.
Véardvan’ ny olona ny trdno, The house has been destroyed by the people.
(2) If the governing word ends in na, this is replaced by the n’, Thus :—
Andran’ (anarana) ny zéza, Name of the child.
Nalain’ (nalaina) ny témpony, Taken by his master.
T i) If the governing word ends in ka or tra, by changing the final a into y.
us :—

Satroky ny midramila, Hat of the soldier.
Fantatry ny élon-kéndry, Known by the wise.
(6) When the noun in the possessive case is not preceded by the article :
(1) In words of the first class by the insertion of n or m, which may be
regarded as fragments of the suffix pronoun ny. Thus :—
Haiam-bahdaka, Hated by (the) people.
Kitépom-béla, A money bag.
Fandhin-jaza, Disposition of a child.
Ran’ osy, Goat’s blood.
Vodravan’ izy tompony, Destroyed by its owner.
Voelan’ ireny, The money of those.

xii

(2) When the governing noun or verb ends in ka, tra, or na, by contraction
according to §§ 18-21 :—
Foto-kdzo, Trank of a tree.
Anara-nosy, Name of an island.
Ravin-kazo, A leaf of a tree.
Sdron’ élo, An umbrella cover.
Lasan’ olona, Taken by some one.
Nolanjdin’ éfa-dahy, Carried by four men.
Hévitr’ tzy midneka, A thought of him and his child.

Some nouns usually omit 2 or m before a following possessive ; e.g. fara,
loha, lela, tenatena, vava, vody, and sometimes hena and maso; thus we have:
JSavra-teny, loha-hevitra, vava-rano, masoandro, eto. This answers exactly
to an ordinary Malay usage, as exemplified in such words as matahari

125.—A vocative case may be known :—
(a) By the use of ry, ray, rey, ra, before it, or o after it.
(8) Sometimes by the omission of the article (163, 3).

IMPORTANT USES OF THE CASES.

196.—The nominative case is often used absolutely at the beginning of a
sentence, where in English we might say ‘‘as to,’’ or,. ‘‘in reference to,”’
ato. This is what is called the ‘‘anticipative, or pendent, nominatice.””

us :—

Fa ny mitddy ny ratey, dia hanjé dzy izany, But as to him that seeketh mis-
chief, it shall come upon him.

Bibildéve vonono : manan-tanan-kamaly, fu Andriamdnitra no andrdsana, A
snake that has been killed: it has no hands to avenge (itself), but it waits for
God. So too frequently in the Proverds.

137.—-The accusative, besides indicating the object, may be used :—

(s) Adverbially, either of time or of place. Thus :—

Mides dlina, To work by night.
Nankdny Iléfy isy, He went to Dafy.

(5) Of an instrument. Thus:—

Namély sdbatra ando izy, He struck you with a sword (81, 4, ii.).

(e) To limit the application of an adjective or verb. This is the ‘‘accueatice
of closer specification,’’ or ‘‘limiting accusative.’’ In Malagasy its use is extremely
common. It may follow:

An ADJECTIVE : Teara éendrika, Good as to appearance.
Am Actrvz Vers: Midva fandhy, To change in spirit.
A Passtve Vers: Voadca fanahy, Changed in spirit.

A Rezatrve Vens: Izdny no niovany fanahy, That was how, or why,
he changed in spirit.

See C. pp. 130, 131, 107, note.

xiii
CHAPTER VI.-THE ADJECTIVE.

128.—The following table shows the various adjective forms :—
TaBLeE oF ADJECTIVE Forms.

NAME. RXAMPLE. MEANING.

Single primary root Teara good
Single root with an-sa prefix (37) | Sabirana perplexed
Root with infix (35, 36) Somary (sary) resembling, likely ,
Reduplicated primary root Tsarateara tolerably good l
Reduplicated root with an-sa prefix | Sahirankirana slightly perplexed |
Reduplicated root with infix domamotamo(tamo) saffron coloured =
Root with affix -ina, -ana, -ena(R. 53)' Nofosana (nofo) fleshy |
Adj. in ma-, uncontracted Maditra (ditra) obstinate
Adj. in ma- (a forming a diphthong

with following o or i) Maozatra (6zatra) | sinewy
Adj. in m-, before a or e Marina (rina) level, true
Adj. in m-, befure ha- or he- Mafy (h fy) | hard
Reduplicated adj. in ma or m’ Madiodio (dio) | rather clean
Adjective with ‘‘limiting acc.’’(127,c)| Taara bika beautiful in shape
Antithetic compound adjective Kéli-malaza | small but renowned

129.—Adjectives are comparatively scarce in the Malagasy language. This
deficiency, however, is to a large extent supplied by the free use of verbs as
participles or adjectives (105). The place of our adjectives of material (wooden,
golden, etc.) is supplied by nouns, thus: trdno hazo, a wooden house. The
lace of English adjectives in able and ib/e is supplied by passive verbs preceded
by azo (114), as: dzo hanina, eatable ; (sy azo resena, invincible.

COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES.

180.—The reduplicate form of an adjective usually lessens ita meaning, thus:
JSotsy means white, but fotsifotsy, whitish. By inserting dia between the repeated
adjectives the opposite effect is produced, and the meaning is intensified, thus:
fotey dia fotsy, intensely white.

181.—No changes are made in the form of an adjective to indicate degrees of
comparison. The signs of the comparative degree are noho, koa noho, kokoa noho,
lavitra noho ; the superlative degree is shown by amy, or indrindra amy. Thus
the positive and comparative have each three divisions and the superlative two,
as follows :—

(1) Tus Posrtive.

SIMPLE : Tsara, good.
EMPHATIO : Tsara dia tsara, intensely good.
WEAKENED: Tscratsara, somewhat good.

(2) Tue Companattve.

Snerze : Tsara noho, better than.
Empuatio: Tsara lavitra noho, far better than.
_ » Zeara kokoa noho
WEAKENED: Tsaratsara kokoa no ho, somewhat better than.

(3) THe SupgRzartysz.

Surrrz: Tsara amy ny ....rehetra, best of all.
Empxatio: Zeara indrindra amy ny, very best of.

xliii

188.—By omitting soho and amy together with the noun following, any of
these forms may be used absolutely, leaving the compared objects to be supplied
mentally. Thus: fsdratedra kokoa to, that one is better (i.e. than some other) ;
tedra indrindra iny, that is the very best (i.e. of them all).

The simple form of the adjective may be similarly used as a superlative,
thus: Iza no tsara? which is the good one? i.e. the préeminently good one, the

A somewhat similar idiom is what may be called ‘‘the conditional superla-
tive ;’’ thus: mdfy koa rdha mafy, hard (or harder), if there be any thing hard
(Angeno xii.). For the same construction with a verb see Luke xxii. 15.

TENSES OF ADJECTIVES.

188.—Unocontracted adjectives in ma- change this prefix into na- and ha- to
indicate the past and future tenses. Thus :—

PRESENT. PAST. FUTURE.
Maditra 7 naditra haditra
Maléto naloto haloto
Marisika narisika harisika

134.—Other adjectives do not change. The forms given in the table serve
for the present and past tenses, and ho is used to indicate the future. Thus :—

| PRESENT. PAST. FUTURE.

| Tsara tira ho tsira
Sahirana sahirana ho sahirana
Tsaratedra tsaratsara ho taaratsara
Maozatra maozatra ho maozatra
Marina marina ho marina
Mafy mafy ho mafy

IMPERATIVE MOOD OF ADJECTIVES.

135.—Any adjective may be made an imperative or optative by changing it
after the analogy of the active verbs, or of the root passives. Thus: Sodva "séa)
teard ; may you be good and excellent. Marena (marina, arina) tékan-trdno,
may your home life be true (a form used in saluting newly married ie le).
Masina (mdsina, hdsina), may you be sacred, i.e. from the assaults of witch-
craft, etc. Mazotéa (mazito, zoto), be diligent. Faingana ( faingana), be quick.

Either the meaning of the adjective or the context will generally determine
whether a command or a wish is intended to be expressed.

CONSTRUCTION OF ADJECTIVES.

136.—Many adjectives take an accusative case as their complement. Thus:
sdsatra dzy aho, I am tired-of him ; féno dzy ny trdno, the house is full-of them
(C. p. 1380, note).

137.—Some adjectives may be followed by passive or relative verbs. Thus:
sérotra atdo, difficult to be Jone; mora aldina, easily fetched; mora angalana,
easily taken from.

CHAPTER VII.-—THE PRONOUN.

THE PERSONAL PRONOUNS.
138.—The personal pronouns have separate and inseparable forms. The fol-
lowing list shows both forms in all persons, numbers, and cases.
TaBLE OF THE PERSONAL PRONOUNS.

By SEoonD Hianaréo anareo -naréo “arto
Turep Izy azy “ny bosm yey
REMARES.

139.—Jz:aho is generally used when the predicate follows, and dho when it
precedes. This usage, however, is sometimes neglected, as in the construction
of the verb hoy, say, saith, which more commonly takes izdho than cho after it;
thus: hoy izaho, say I.
140.—Jsika includes the person or persons addressed, while izehdy excludes
them. Thus: -4ulcha hiaraka dry isika rehetra, Let us then all go together.
Tia, fa isahay hidny no handeha ; fa hianaréo kosa dia hijanona éto, No, for we
only will go; but you, on the other hand, shall stay here.
141.—The separate forms for the possessive vase (dhy, ando, azy, etc.) are used
either (1) as predicates, thus: aky ny réla, the money is mine; or (2) with the
article prefixed, for any case, a noun being understood, as: Ento ny ando, bring
thine (Hterally, the of thee); Samy miténdra ny dzy izy, they brought each of
them his own (literally, the of them).
142.—The Malagasy shrink from using the second persons of the pronoun in
direct address. For the manner in which they avoid doing so, see A. 181-183, 403.
143.—The suffix pronouns, though properly only possessives, will be found
to correspond to other cases in European languages; thus they may be
translated by :—
(1) A Possesstve Cass. Thus :—
Ny véla-ko, The money of me, my money.
Ny loha-nao, Your head.
(2) An Asiative Cask, indicating the agent of a passive or relative verb.
us :-—
Voasdsa-ko, Washed by me.
Nanalan-tsika, Taken from by us.
Sometimes they may be used with adjeotives in the same sense. Thus :—
Firy ny olona izay efa héndri-nao, How many are the people who
have become wise through you.
Haratrany, shall be hurt by it.

xlv

rn Ax Inprencr Ossncrrvz Cass, after verbe, adjectives, prepositions, eto.
U8 :—
Mischo dmi-ko, To appear to me.
Teo amin-ny, There with him.
(4) Rarery as a Dative Casz. Thus :—
Léza-ko, Woe to me.
Mami-nay, Sweet to us.
144.— Tina, body, is often used as a reflexive pronoun meaning s/f, as:
Namino téna izy, bo killed himeelf. u
145.— Words ending in syllables other than ka, tra, or na receive the full
forms of the suffix pronouns without contraction or change. Thus :—

Noun. Verb. Preposition.

s. Véla Azo Amy Anila
Véla-ko Azo-ko Ami-ko Anila-ko
Véla-nao Azo-nao Ami-nao Anila-nao
Vola-n'* Azo-n’* Ami-n’* Anila-n’*
Vola-ny Azo-ny Ami-ny Anila-ny

Pp. Véla-nay Azo-nay Ami-nay Anila-nay
Vola-ntsika Azo-ntsika Ami-ntsika Anila-ntsika
Vola-nareo Azo-nareo Ami-nareo Anila-nareo
Vola-ny Azo-ny Ami-ny Anila-ny

146.— W ordsending in na reject this syllable beforeappending the suffix. Thus: —
Noun. Verb. Preposition.
Hiarona Ravana Itsanganana Anoloana
Hiaro-ko Rava-ko Itsangina-ko $Anoloa-ko
Haro-nao Rava-nao Iteangana-nao Anoloa-nao
Haro-n'* Rava-n’ Iteangana-n’ Anoloa-n’
Haro-ny Rava-ny Iteangana-ny =Anoloa-ny

147.—Words ending in the syllables ka or tra, with accent on the antepenult,
take one or other of the contracted forms of the suffix pronouns, and either
shorten or throw away their final syllable. Thus :—

Noun. Verb. Noun. Verb.

8. Satroka Afaka Havitra Fantatra
Satrok-o Afak-o Heévitr-o Fantatr-o
Satrok-ao Afak-ao Heévitr-ao Fantatr-ao
Satrok-y* Afak-y* Heévitr-y* Fantatr-y*
Satro-ny Afa-ny Heévi-ny Fanta-ny

Pp. Satrok-ay Afak-ay Heévitr-ay Fantatr-ay
Satro-tsika Afa-tsika Hévi-teika Fanta-tsika
Satrok-areo Afak-areo Haévitr-areo Fantatr-areo
Satrok-y* Afak-y® Hévitr-y® Fantatr-y*
Satro-ny Afa-ny Hévi-ny Fanta-ny

W.B.—The forms inarked * are used when a noun made definite by the article
follows in the possessive case (see 124. a, 2, 3). The y takes the place of the
n’ ansed with other nouns (124, a, 1).

148.— With words ending in ka, tra, or na, but having the accent on the
penult, usage varies.

Thus we find trafro and tratrako ; tdony and tdonany ; hénako (héna), ldokandy
(léoka), toetro and toetrako, toeny and téetrany.

But all pasaive and relative verbs and relative nouns ending in -ana are con-
tracted, thus: sasd-ko, from sasdna ; anasdn-tsika, from anasina; fanasdn-
areo, from fanasdna.

The appending of the pronominal suffix makes no change in the accentuation.

xlvi

THE DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS.

149.—The demonstrative pronouns are very numerous; and the use of one
rather than another is regulated by the distance of the object pointed out. They
become plural by the insertion of the syllable re; and by inserting za
‘ another dase is formed to express the unseen, the remembered, the conceired, ets.,
as op to what is seen and actually pointed out. The following table
exhibita some of the more common forms, and shows their mutual relations ; for
convenience of comparison, the adverbs of place, which follow the analogy of
the demonstrative pronouns, are placed in the same table.

160.—Speaking generally we may say that it} means ‘‘this,"’ and irety, iréto,
these; io, itsy, iny, irda, aud iry, ‘‘that;’? and iréto, irétsy, irerda, irery,
‘‘those.”’ stilt the natives by no means consider it a matter of indifference
which form is used.

For additional forms and detailed explanations see W. 311-330; A. 187-206.

151.—The demonstrative pronouns are used after the word or phrase they
qualify as well as before it.

Thus: to hazo io, that tree. With a long phrase this is convenient, «8 all the
connected words are bound together by the two pronouns, thus: ireny /childhy
kamokamo hitantsike nipétra-poana téeny améron-dalana ireny.

THE INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS.

153.—The interrogative pronouns are :—
Iza, zéry, who, which ?
Inona, what?
An’ iza, an-jory, whose ?
An’ inona (used of places), where, what ?
153.—By doubling the interrogatives isa, inona, and using na (thus: na iza
na izd, na inona na inona), they become indefinite, like the English ‘‘whosoerer,’’
“‘whateoecer.”’
THE RELATIVE PRONOUN.
154.—The relative pronoun is izdy. It is undeclinable, and may be used for
either gender or number.

CHAPTER VIIIL—THE NUMERALS.

thought more convenient to put them together in a separate chapter, that their
mutual relations may be more readily seen.

166.—The ordinals are often used as fractionals (as: fahénim-bary, the sixth
of a measure of rice called edry irdy). They are also used of measurements,
as: Fahafiry méa ny tranondo? How many fathoms is your house ?

The fractionals are seldom used without the suffix pronoun or a possessive
case. To give the numerator of a fraction the cardinals are used, as in English,
thus: ria ampahéfany, two fourths of it.

In counting the units come first; thus 695 is expressed: dimy amby siri-folo
admby énin-jdto.

157.—Distributives are made by doubling the cardinals and prefixing ¢si-, as
tsiroarca, two by two ; trifblofélo. in tens.

168.—Some of the numerals have corresponding verbal forms. Thus :—

Mifiry ? Miroa, Mitélo, Miéfatra, etc., to be divided into 2, 3, 4, eto.

Firina * Teldina, Teloy, Efarina, Efdro, etc., divided into 3, 4, etc.

Manindréa Manintélo, etc., to do a thing twice, thrice, etc

Indrdosina, Inteliina, Inefarina, etc., are sometimes used for being done twice,

thrice, four times, ete.
159.—Number of days is expressed thus :—
Hafiriana, How many days?
Indroa andro, Two days.
Hateloana, Three days.
Hefarana, Four days, etc.
160.—The numeral is often placed before a noun.

Telo tdona, Three years.
Roa lahy, Two men.
Ny roa amby ny félo vary, The twelve wives of the Sovereign.

—<~

CHAPTER !X.-THE ARTICLE.

A.—THE DEFINITE ARTICLE.

161.—Ny is the definite article. It is used before common nouns, and
possesses the defining and specifying power of our English article the. Tlay is
also used as an article, but is somewhat more strongly demonstrative, and is
usually singular.

Nisy nipika tdmy ny tany va ny ra? Did any of the blood fall upon the
ground ?

162.—The following special uses of ny deserve attention :—

(a) It is largely employed like the Greek article to turn other parts o
speech into nouns.

For illustrations, see C. p. 128; A. 265, 266.

(6) It is used when the whole of a class is referred to (i.e. as a generic
article).

Thus: Ny vdrona sy ny biby, birds and beasts; Ny Malagdsy, ny Talastra, ny
Pazaha, Malagasy, Arabs, and Europeans (i.e. av nations). Hacan’ Andriana
ny Andriamasinavalona, The tribe of Andriamasinavalona are relatives of the
Sovereign. This is the only sense in which ny can be used with proper nouns.

xlix
(e) Hance » is used after ‘dhaka, 6a, Adastra, téraka, etc., in general

Toy "y voaldvo sy ny totezy, Like rate and mice (or, the rata and the
ce).
(4) Usually when a noun is made definite by a suffix pronoun.
Ny tompony, His master (or, the master of him).
(ec) With abstract nouns (compare /a vertu in French, and he Aagape in Greek).
Ny mérina, Truth.
Ny rariny, Justice.
Ny tédiny, Retribution.
(/) With the words anankirdy, sdsany, maro, and rehétra, the article is often
used in Malagasy, when in English it can be dispensed with.
Ny Whildhky anankirdy, A certain man.
Ny dlona sdsany, Some Reople.
Ny dlona rehétra, All (the) people.
Ny dlona mdro, Many people.
163.—The article is commonly omitted :—
(a) Before nouns in apposition.
Herédra mpanjdka, Herod the king. Ranavalomanjaku, Tompon’ ny
tany, Ranavalomanjaka, Sovereign of the land.
(5) With nouns in the vocative.t
Raindy Isdy dny an-danitra, Our Father who art in heaven.
(ce) Before predicates.t
Trénondo io, That is your house.
(d) With the classes of acousatives noticed in § 127.
(e) After no (see § 168, iii.).
B.—THE PERSONAL ARTICLE.
164.—The Malagasy possess an article for proper names, viz. I.
165.—Sometimes the common personal prefixes Ilehy, Ilay, Ra, Ri, Ray, and
Andriana, take the place of the personal article.
Perhaps it would be more correct to consider i simply as one of these prefixes,
rather than to call it an article.
166.—Though usually employed with proper nouns, both i and ra are at
times ed to common nouns used as names of persons. Thus :—
Ieadindo, your wife; isakdizando, your friend ; izékindo, your elder brother or
sister ; isdndrindo, your younger brother or sister; itémpokulahy, sir; itempoko-

dey, madam ; etc.
Ralzhilahy, the or that man; ramatda, the first born, used of females only ;

rengdhy, a title of respect, generally used of old men ; racdzalahy, the lad, etc.
C.—_THE INDEFINITE ARTICLE.
167.—As no indefinite article exists, its place is supplied :—
(e) Simply by the omission of ny.

* In modern Malagasy ny is rarely omitted in general comparisons. In the Proverbs, how-
ver, its omission after ¢da is by no means rare.

+ In the examples given under b and c it will be noted that the article usually required
according to 1 162, 4 is omitted. A predicate introduced by dia (190, 2, b) may take the cle.

1

Nahita omby dho, I saw an ox.
Zacatr’ dlona, Somebody's things.
(5) By the use of anankirdy and sdsany, in the semi-definite sense of some,
certain (162, f).
(c) By using the relative pronoun izdy in an indefinite sense.

Iza no hatéky izdy adéla, Who would trust a fool, or one who is a
fool P

(2) By using the verb misy (115). ,
Nisy élona namangy dzy, A person visited him (or, some persons).
Misia mankaty ny ankizilahy, Let a servant a one, or, some, of
the servants) come here.

—++#85e-—
CHAPTER X.—-THE EMPHATIC OR DISCRIMINATIVE PARTICLE.

168.—The correct or incorrect use of the particle ‘‘no” is no unfair criterion
of the skill a European has attained in ing Malagasy.

To avoid one of the most frequent causes of error, then, let it be clearly
understood that ‘‘no’’? must on no account be considered a simple substitute for
our logical copula ‘‘is.’’ It serves to make an emphatic assertion, and at the
same time implies the exclusion or discrimination of some object or objects to
which the predicate used in that assertion does not apply ; often this discrimi-
nated object is stated in the following clause, as in the proverb: Ny hitéza no
tsdra mihantona ; fa ny tény tay tsdra mihdntona.”’ It is kiteza (dried meat) that
is good (when) hung; but words are not good (when) hung; i.e. they are
better spoken. The Proverbs afford many similar illustrations.

‘*No’’ may have been originally an article :—

(i.) Its form is nearly identical with that of the article ‘“‘ny.’’

(ii.) In some idiomatic phrases it seems to have simply the force of an article
or relative pronoun; e.g. Hoy no naraliny dzy=hoy ny, etc. Misy be no mpa-
ndo=misy be ny, or izdy, mando, These may be considered either as forms of
expression that are incorrect, or as relics of an older use of ‘‘ny’’ as an article,
probably the latter. See A. 395.

(iii.) It aleo renders the use of the article superfluous; thus; Iza no tséra,
which are the good ones (not: Iza no ny tsdra ?).

169.—The various uses of ‘‘no’”’ as a discriminative particle may be classified
as follows :—

It may be used to emphasise or discriminate (1) a subject; (2) a clause
indicating time, place, cause, etc.; (8) a statement.

i—A SUBJECT.

(a) In assertive sentences.

Fa izy no nataony hiténdra ny tany, For it was he whom he appointed
to govern the land.
Fositra no tsy hambolem-béavahy ! Is it because of féritra that voardhy
should not be planted !
(3) In interrogative sentences.*

Amy ny inona no tsaroanao maharary ? In what part is it that you are
conscious of pain ?

* When the answer to an interrogative sentence would be a subject, no should be used;
when no is not used, the answer would be a predicate. Thus: Iza no lzy ? means, Which is
it? The answer would be, This is it; but fea isy? Iza méa tzy ? Who is he? the answer to
which would be, He is the pastor, my brother, a soldier, etc. etc.

li

(ec) In imperative sentences.

Ny fotsy hidny no ario, The white only are the ones of which one would say,
Throw them away, or, that should be thrown away.

(d) In hortative sentences.

Fa ny asa no aoka hovonjén’ ny olona, For agriculture is that about which we
suggest that it should be attended to by the people.

(e) In prohibitive sentences.

Ny manta hiany no dza hdnina, It is only of the unripe ones one would say,
Eat them not; or, It is only the unripe ones that should not be eaten.

N.B.—Such sentences as ¢, «/, ¢, are often used where in English we should
way ‘‘is to be,” “should be,"’ etc. (A. 396).

ii—WITH A CLAUSE INDICATING TIME, PLACE, CAUSE, ete.

10 Addlo, 1848, no vita ny vdhitra, It wason the 10th of Adalo, 1848, that
the enclosure was finished.

Aiza no ménina isy, Where is it that he dwells ?
iii—_WITH A STATEMENT FOR WHICH A REASON IS TO BE GIVEN.

Ny handrina no tsy maniry célo, ny henatra, Shame is the reason why the
forehead is not covered with hair.

Ho is often added in such cases. Thus :—

Ny akoho no ho léhibé, ny volony, The feathers of the fowls make them appear
great. Ny raharaha no ho lavorary, ny tény tfanatréhana, The business be
successful, mutual consultation (will render it so).

—_—<Oo
CHAPTER XI—THE ADVERBS.

170.—The Malagasy language is rich in adverbs of place (171-177), and
time (178); adverbs of quality are not found; but see in § 181 how the want
of them is supplied.

A.— ADVERBS OF PLACE.

171.—Fourteen of the most commonly used adverbs of place are given in the
comparative table of demonstratives (149), with which they are closely connected
both in form and meaning. Some useful examples of each class are given in the
following sections; but for fuller lists and explanations see W. 355-372;
A. 213-226; R. p. 74.

Aty, ety, dto, and ¢to, answer generally to our here; whilst the remaining
ten (do, éo, disy, étsy, etc.) signify there or yonder. Still the different forms
cannot be interchanged at pleasure: the choice of one form rather than another

ding upon the distance of the place spoken of. The forms beginning
with a more properly belong to what is vague and unseen ; and the forms in e
to what is seen and clearly pointed out.

Thus: Ati an-tdany, here on the earth; ety an-tdanako, here in my hand;
ato alohantsika, somewhere in front of us; cto an-trano, here in the house; do
am-bata, in a box; é0 ambony latdbatra, on the table; co imdsony, before his
eyes; ao an-katakonana, in concealment.

172.—The adverbs of place are sometimes repeated like the demonstrative
pronouns (151). Thus: dny an-¢fitra any, there in the desert.

lii

178.—They all take past and future tensee. Thus :—

| PRESENT. | Past. FUTURE.
A ta ho
AC tent ho aed
Any tany ho any
174.—When re with ho inserted between them, they have an indefinite
meaning ; thus ato ho déo, hereabouts ; téo Ao éo, thereabuuts.
175.—By adding the active prefix mank- (74) they are made into verbs, thus:

mankdto, to come here: mankary, to go yonder. Of these verbs only mankdny
has an imperative mood (mankanésa), or a relative voice (ankanésana). These
are made to serve with all the other adverbs of place, as: Mankanésa aty hiando,
Come here; Izdny no tsy nankanésako tary, That is why I did not go yunder.

176.—With dvy (coming) prefixed they imply motion from, and are equiva-
lent to our English words hence, thence.

177.—Adverbs of place are often used to express relations of time. 7¢o,
recently, just then; ¢%ééo ho ato, lately.

B.—ADVERBS OF TIME.
178.—The following are the principal adverbs of time :—
Anio, to-day (the part to come).
Andro any, ny any, to-day (the part gone).
Omaly, yesterday.
Ampiteo, rahamptiso, to-morrow.
Afak’ omaly, the day before yesterday.
Loak’ andro afak’ omaly, three days ago.
Rehéfa, rehéfefa, presently.
Raha afaku dtey ho dtsy kokéa, after a time (e.g. some days).
Raha avy ny taona (pronounced rahavin-taona) toy izao, this time next year.
Rahatrizay, hereafter (indefinite future).
Fahiny, formerly.
Fahizany, fahizay, at that time (faha- is used with many words to express
past time).
Hatrizdy, sinoe the time of.
Hatrizathatrizay, from of old, from eternity (indefinite past).
Ankekitriny, ankehitrio, izao, dmin’ izdo, now.
Vao faingana (or, hdingana), quite recently.
Tontolo dndro, mandritra ny andro, all day long.
Hatry nardina, ever since morning.
Mandrakariva, continually.
Mandrakizay, for ever.
Ldlanddva, incessantly.
Matétika, often.
Indrdindrdy, sometimes.
Isan-andro, daily.
Isam-bdlana, monthly (isany may be thus used with many words).
Tsy—intsdny, no longer, not any more.
Tamin’ izdy, upon that.
Midraka admin’ izay, upon that.
Sahddy, already, so early.
Rahateo, already, beforehand.

~

liii
C.—_ADVERBS OF MANNER AND DEGREE.

179.—The chief adverbs of manner and deyree are the following :—

Fatretra, earnestly, strenuously.

Tsimoramora, easily.

Tsikelikely, by small degrees.

Tei pétipctika, piecemeal, in small quantities, etc.

Lvatra, ex ngly, too.

Mainka, rao mainka, rather, all the more.

Koa too,

Kéea, on the other hand, on the contrary (implying a contrast).

Kokoa, more and more, a little more (131).

Aza, even.

Ary, even.

rotted oaks Alinost, on the point of (used of something not effected).

Madira ho, éfa madtca ho, ¢fa nadiva ho, almost, on the point of (used of
something that will be, or was, ocom ished).

Samy, arokoa,* respectively, individually, wholly. Samy precedes, and
arokoa follows, the word Yt qualifies. Thus : Samy marine izsy rehetra ;
marina arokéa isy rehetra, They are all (individually) true.

Ary, apiece, individually (Noména sikdjy dry izy, They had sixpence apiece
given them ; Ira dvy no anarany ? What individually are their names).

Hakitro,t to the heels.

Havdra,t to the mouth.

D.—ADVEERBS OF NEGATION, AFFIRMATION, DOUBT, &c.
1890.—The adverbs of neyation, affirmation, and doubt, are the following :—

Eny, yes.
Tsia, no.
Tsy, not.
Aza, let not (the sign of prohibition, see § 110).
Angaha, angamba, perhape.
Tékony ho, probably.
Sendra, perchance.
Tahiny, perchance, (used only of suppositions, thus: Raha tdhiny mahita
azy hiando, If you should chance to see him).
%...-HOW THE WANT OF ADVERBS OF QUALITY OR MANNER IS
SUPPLIED.

181.— Adverbs of quality or manner are rare ; their place is supplied :—

(1) By adjectives.

Thus: mihira tedra, to sing well; or, by reversing the phrase, and allowing

tecra to retain its adjectival force, tsdra fihira, good as to the manner o
singing (127, c). This latter is an extremely common and useful idiom.

See W. 353; A. 118, 210.
(2) By prepositional phrases.
In forming these phrases the prefix an- may be joined to :—
* The construction shows that these words are not adjectives, though it is often easier to

translate them by wee in English.
+ The prefix ha- ing ‘‘up to” (compare Aafra) is used with the name of almost any
part of ths body, thus; An/dladia halohalika, haféto-pé, havaniana, Aahilika, heténda, eto,

liv

(a) Roor Nouns, as: an-drariny, justly ; am-pitaka, deceitfully.

(5) Assrnact Nouns, as: an-kaméhana (from the adjective mdika) hastily ;
an-kafetséna ( féetsy), cunningly.

(¢e) Rexvatrve Nouns, as: am-piféhezana ( fehy), with authority, authoritatively.

(@) Vernsat Nouns ne -ana, as: an-tsivaldnana (vdlana), crossways.

Rarely an is added to the future tense of an active verb, as an-kamandrike
( féndrika), deceitfully, with a view to entrap. For more example see A. 211, 273.

(8) By verbs.
Thus: apétraka mitsivalena (vdlanz), placed crossways; madio mangdrangd-
rana, sparklingly clear; ména mangatrakatraka, brilliantly red.

¥.—INTERROGATIVE ADVERBS.

182,—The interrogative adverbs are the following :—
Or Pirace: | Aiza, tdiea, where ?
Ho a@izi, going where P
Avy taiza, whence? (176)
Or Time: Oviana, when’ (of the )
Rahoviana,' when? (of the ture)
Or Mannep, etc.: Akdry, how? (often used in exclamations)
Ahoana, how?
Mando ahoana (nando and hando ahoana too), in what
manner, of what kind, quality, etc.
Atdo ahoana (natdo and hatdo ahoana too), how? (implying
difficulty or impossibility)
Atdo may take a suffix pronoun or a noun as its agent, thus: Hatdoko ahoana,
How can I do this? Hatdon’ ny mpanamy trano ahoana no fandésitra (a common
use of the modal noun), How should a housebreaker eacape ?

AaOOo-

CHAPTER XII.—THE PREPOSITIONS.

188.—The number of prepositions in the Malagasy language is somewhat
scanty. There exist, however, a large number of prepositional phrases, or
compound Prepositions, formed by the union of nouns with the prefixes a-, an-,
am-, and i-. § 186.
184.—The principal prepositions are :—
Amy (for ita meanings see § 185).
be (a

Any, belonging to (A. 454).
Akdiky, near to.

Afa-tsy, except (fully, afaka sy).
Ambdraka, until.

Araka, according to.

Hatra, from, or to.

Ho, ho any, for, to.
Mantraka=cambdaraka.

Noho, on account of, because of.
Raha, aa to (?). See A. § 460.°
Tandrify, opposite to.

® Still it seems better to consider réha as always a conjunction, and to explain ite use in the
idioms noticed by Pére Ailloud by regarding thom as elliptic, and supplying ‘‘is considered,”’
“thought of,” etc.

lv

185.— Amy has to do service fur many English prepositions. Indeed it would
be more correct to say that it has no meaning of its own, but serves simply to

indicate an indirect object (81, a), or an adjunct of a verb. The following
examples will show what a variety of English prepositions must in translation
be used in its place.

Mitény dminy aho, I spake to him.

Miaraka aminy aho, I go wrrn him.

Mba dminy (mbéminy), together wrrH him.

Miala aminy aho, I go away Frou him.

Mankany aminy aho, 1 go ro him

Natsipy tamy ny rdnomasina izy, It was cast InTO the sea.

Amin’ izato Alakamisy ho dry, On Thursday next.

Omceo tclo amin’ ilay rdo tonga aho, Give me three From those that have
recently arrived.

Notsindroniny tamy ny sabatra izy, He was pierced by them witTH the
sword.

186.—Compound Prepositions. The prepositional prefixes a-, an-, am-, and
i-, may be added to nouns, thus forming a class of compound prepositions.
The following are among the more commonly used :—

(a) Afovoana (fé and réa 2), in the midst of.

Aloha (loha), before.
Aoriana (sometimes artana), behind.
Amorona (mérona), on the brink of.
Atsimo, south of.

Atsindnana (tsinana 7), east of.
Avdratra (varatra ?), north of.

(an-) Anatréhana (atrika), in the presence of.

An-dty (aty), inside of, within, among.
An-dafy (lafy), on the other side of.
An-dany (lany), do.

An-déha (loha), on, or at, the head of.
Andréfana, west of.

An-élanélana (élanélana), between.
An-ila (tla), at the side of.

An-koatra (hoatra), beyond.

187.—Government of Prepasitizns. Most of the prepositions, whether simple
or compound, are followed by the possessive (124).

lvi

Hatra is usually joined with dmy, as: hatrdmy ny atsindnana ka hatramy xy
andréfana, from east to west ; or with adverbs of place, thus: Aatréeto, thus far ;
Aatrdny, to there ; sometimes it is simply follo by a noun with wy or éisdy
before it, thus: Adtry sy omdly, since yeaterday ; Adtr’ izdy niadinake, since my

alnbdraka and mdndraka are usually contracted and joined with habitual
modal nouns, or with adjectives or phrases preceded by faha-, thus: ambdra-
pireriko (vérina), antil my return; mdndra-pandony dsy, until his doing it;
ambdra-pahaménatrdo (héenatra), until thou art ashamed; mdndra-pahafatiny,
until his death. More rarely they are followed by a relative noun, as: ambdre-
pandovando dzy, until your doing it.

Ho takes after it the pronoun dry (ho dzy, for him; i.e. to be his); with
other words it requires dny, as: ho duy ny zanako, for my child; ho an-dRabe,
for Rabe ; ho an-téna, for one’s self.

Noho, afa-tey, and any are followed by a nominative.

Akdiky sometimes yorerns an accusative (akdiky dzy ; see § 136) : not always,
however (akdikiny, akdikindo).

Akdiky and tandrify may perhaps be compound prepositions (the a- and tan-
being prefixes) ; but if so, their roots have not yet been ascertained.

188.—Substitutes for Prepositions. As substitutes for our prepositions im-
plying motion to and from, the verbs dry, midla, mandtona, mamaky, eto., are

Vao tonga avy tdny Toamdsina izy, He has just arrived from Tamatave.
Norodhiny hiala tao an-trano aho, I was driven by him ont of the house.
Akischo handtona dhy ny vato, Push the stone towards me.
Nentiny namaky ny tandna aho, I was led by him through the town.
189-—Many verbs not expressing motion are similarly used, like our partici-
ples respecting, according to, eto.
Manodidina dzy, around it.
Misclo ahy, instead of me (/it. substitutes me).
Mandraka ny hevitro, acoording to my opinion.
Midraka dminy, accompanying him, with him.
190.—Many verbs which in English require a preposition are in Malagasy
followed by a direct accusative, the verb itself containing the force of the pre-
position.
Mifddy hanina, to abstain from food.
Miery azy, to hide from him.
Misdngy azy, to play swith him.
Mandainga dzy, to tell a lie to him.
191.-—The relative voice often obviates the necessity of using a preposition,
the relation for the expressing of which a preposition wotlld be required being
involved in the relative verb. See § 99.
Nitondrany rano dho, 1 was the person to ichom he brought water.

192.-Many of the verbs that govern two accusatives (81, 5) would require a
preposition in English before one of them. Thus :—
Manoso-tsolika dzy, to smear it with oil.

198.—For the way in which by before the agent of a passive or relative verb,
and of before a possessive case, are expressed, see §§ 124, 143-147.

CHAPTER XII!—THE CONJUNCTIONS.

194.—The principal conjunctions are the following :—
(1) Copunative: Ary, st) dmana, amin’, and.
, kéa .
, both—and.
Dia, even.
Mba dmy (mbdmy), together with. |
Ambdany (or: mbdny), and, including.

Ary usually begins sentences, or is used for the sake of variety in enumera-
tions together with sy. Amana couples nouns that usually go in pairs, as: rdy
adman-dreny, father and mother. Sady adds a supplementary adjective or verb,
or even a sentence containing an additional statement.

(2) Dissunortvz: Na, or.

Na—na, whether—or.
8a, fa, or?

Sa and fa are used in asking alternative questions, thus: Handéha va ialdhy,
sa ( fa) tsia? Will you go, or not?

(2) Avvursativz: Fa, but.

Nefa, andréfa, yet.
Kanjo, however, but.
Sdngy, sdingy, (sometimes) but.

Kénjo implies that the reverse of what was expected happened. Sdingy some-
times means but, as: Sdiky nahéry aho, sdingy niclaka, I was all but victorious,
but I slipped. ,

(4) CownrriomaL: Raha, nony (with present or future), if.

Nony tsy, had it not been that.

(5) Causa. : Fa, for (reason).

Na dia—dza, although (concession).
Satria, because (cause).
Sdingy, seeing that, since.

(6) Dzcranativs: Fa, xo, that.

Fa is commonly used in introducing noun sentences after verbs of declaring,
believing, hoping, etc. Thus :—

Mildza aminaréo cho, or lazdiko aminaréo, fa tey ho sdhy hando izdny izy.
I tell you that he will not dare to do that.
(7) IsrenentiaL: Dia, then, therefore.
Ary, then.

Ary when it means then is not placed at the beginnin of a sentence, thus:
Andéha dry isika, Let us then go; Iza dry no hirdhina ? Who then shall be sent P
(8) Fueax (resutt or consequence) :
Ka, koa, and 80, 80 as.
Dia, then.
Sado, andréa, andrdo, lest.

Ka is at times used in an adversative sense, meaning ‘‘and yet,’’ thus: Maldza
ho lahy, ka tey mandry an-dfitra, Having the reputation of a (brave) man, and yet
not lying (i.e. afraid to lie) in the desert.

(9) Tuuporau: Raha, rehéfa, fony, nony, when.

Dieny, whilst.

lviii

Fony relates to the past, as: Fony tsy mbéla ary ny tany, when the earth was
not yet created. .Vomy usually implies a succession of events. Dieny is used of
something passing away, some opportunity to be seized, etc. Rehefa means when
in the sense of after.

196.—The Malagasy often join conjunctions. Thus :—

Ary dia Ka ntfa Nefakoa
Ka dia Fa nefa Nefa kosa
Raha dia Kéanefa Fa satria
Na dia K’ andréo Fa sdingy
196.—It will be seen from the lists in § 194 that one word has to do service
for several different conjunctions. Thus :—
Fa, for, giving a reason.
Fa, but, making an exception.
Fa, that, introducing a declaration, eto.
Dia, even, and, pointing out some important word, as a noun in appo-
sition, a predicate (199, 2 3), etc.
Dia, therefore, drawing an inference.
Dia, then (of time) signifying progression of events.

197.—In Malagasy conjunctions do not usually couple the same cases of pro-
nouns. Thus :—

Mitény amindo sy izahdy izy, He speaks to you and us (literally, ewe).
See Baker. p. 40; A. 325-327. Y we)

—< So

CHAPTER XIV.-THE INTERJECTIONS.

188.—The principal interjections are the following :—

EXPREssIvE OF Surprise: Edrdy, endré, adré, odré, hay, hanky, he, lahy.
” DentaL: Isy, éisy, aoé, sanatria ( forbid that).
» DestreE: <Anie, éenga ka, éndra, anga.

” Sornow: AIndrisy.
» Reeret: Indy.
” Exuttation at Canamity: Sakoa izdy.

<i."

CHAPTER XV.-THE ARRANGEMENT OF WORDS IN A
SENTENCE.

199.—Much liberty is allowed as to the order in which words are arranged in
&@ sentence. Still there are several general rules to be remembered :—

(1) The usual place for a predicate in a simple sentence is at the beginning.
Mena ny vary, the rice is red ; handcéha izy, he will go; andy iréo, those are ours.

(2) It may, however, follow the subject :—

(a) Simply, with nothing but the sense to indicate it. Izay tsy mahay sobiky
mahay fatam-bary, They who cannot make big baskets can make small rice
measures. So too in the following: Ny any ny Manjaka lolohdvina ; Ny dnatra
vahiny ; Ny andrana tsy lo.

lix

(3) Preceded by dia to point it out more clearly. Izay mahay manana dia ma-
nena indria, They who are able to have have two-fold. This is an extremely
common usage ; the Bible affords thousands of examples.

(ce) Preceded by xo, if it is intended to apply exclusively to the subject. See
§ 169.

(3) The object of an active verb usually follows it immediately (123). Thus:—

Nananatra azy mafy aho, I reproved him sharply.

(4) But occasionally an adverb closely connected with an active verb may
stand between it and its object (94). us :—

Aza mamaly sdrotra azy hiando, Do not answer him roughly.

(5) With a passive verb the adverb and ace. (94), if there is one, with ita con-
nected words unless too long, are placed near the verb, the nominative following
at the end of the sentence.

Nandriko mafy dia mafy téo imdson-drdiny izy mirdhalahy, The (or those)

brothers were reproved by me sharply in the presence of their father.

Natélotro azy omaly ny véla, The money was given to them by me yester-
y-

W.B.—Of course when it is necessary to throw the subject into a more promi-
nent place this can be done in accordance with rule (2) above.

(6) A qualifying adjective follows the noun to which it refers. Thus:—

Lehilahy tsara, a good man.

(7) But sometimes a word closely connected with the qualified noun may

come between it and the adjective. Thus :—

Ny vahia-dRanavalona rehétra, All the subjects of Ranavalona. See Baker,
p. 39; and A. 276.
(8) A possessive case follows its governing noun immediately. See § 124.
(9) But exceptions similar to those noticed in rule (7) are sometimes found.
w:— °
Ny tdnana ankavénan-dRalambo, The right hand of Ralambo.

(10) No such separation is allowable between a passive or relative verb and
ita agent. See §§ 64, 124. Thus :—

Novonéin’ ny jtolahy tzy, He was killed by the highwaymen.

This rule holds good even of compound verbs like mamindra fé, miova sdina,
maméla-péndrika ; the nouns fé, sdina, and findrika, though so closely connected
with their respective verbs, have to be separated from them when the relative or
passive construction is used, and an agent is specified, as then the agent and all
words closely dependent upon it must be placed immediately after the verb.

us :—

Active: Namindra fo tdmindo va ny témpon-trésa? Did the creditor show

mercy to you?

Retattve: Namindrdn’ ny tempon-trisa fo va hiando ? Were you shown mercy
to by the creditor ?

Active: Nidva sdina irény dlona ireny ného ny anatra natdonao.

Rewatrve: Ny dnatra natdondo no niovan’ irény dlona ireny saina.
ActivE: Naméla-pandrika azy tzy telo lahy.

ReiatrvE: Nameldran’ izy tclo lahy fandrika izy.

ActtvE: Mandédso-déko azy ny mpando sary.

Passtvz: Hoséran’ ny mpando sary loko izy.
