THE PRONOUN "AMBAUX".

238. The pronoun (and pronominal adjective) "ambaux", both, indicates

two persons or things considered together. It is invariable in form:

Ili ambaux venis al la templo,

they both came to the temple.

Ambaux faris oferojn al la dioj,

both made offerings to the gods.

Vidante kaj la plumon kaj la plumingon, mi prenis la ambaux,

seeing both the pen and the penholder, I took both.

[Footnote: This pronoun must not be confused with the use of "kaj",

translated "both" in the combination "kaj ... kaj ...", "both ... and

..." (26).]
