[Footnote: The words "antikva", "maljuna", "malnova", all of which may
at times be translated "old," must not be confused in use: Mi havas
malnovan cxapelon, "I have an old hat (a hat which is not new)". Li
estas maljuna sinjoro, "he is an old (aged) gentleman". Li estas malnova
amiko mia, "he is an old friend of mine (a friend of long standing)". La
hxinoj estis kleraj ecx en la antikva tempo, "the Chinese were learned
even in the olden time (in ancient time)". La antikvaj kleruloj jam
sciis tre multe, "the ancient learned (enlightened) men already knew a
great deal". La maljuna sinjoro en la malnovaj vestoj estas antikvisto,
"the old gentleman with the old clothes is an antiquary".]
