32. _Give us advice_, ager tanhā(d?)

_I advise you_, egerākay tanhād.

_Advice_, tanhād.

——, takshit [_secrecy_].

_I tell you this secretly_, inneghak awādagh istakshit.

_We confer between ourselves_, neger tanhād gerēnagh.

_You must not repeat it to anyone_, war tíntennit (_or_ war

tisellit) awādem.

[Note: _Ger_, throw, cast, in Kab. and Temght. _Neger tanhād_, we cast

advice. In the forms _summaghekay_ (31.), _egerakay_ (32.), _irhekāy_

(33.), _yūfekē_ (35.) we see that the Tawárek use the nominative _kay_

or _kē_ for (thee) the accusative after a verb [reserving the Kabáíl

suffix _ak_ for the dative (tibi)?], and the final _gh_ of the 1st pl.

is absorbed by _k_. Thus, irhēkay = erhēghkay.]
