_I have not understood what you said_, war egerāhagh meggerīt.
_I understand a little Tarkíye_, egerāhagh andúrren da Temáshight.
_I cannot speak it_, war dōbegh assokel enis.
[Note: _Egerah_, understand thou? So _agrūhet_, science. It seems to be
a pure native root, as _isen_, he knew.
_Meggerīt_ is explained by Barth as _me gerīt_ = _me gherit_; or,
rather, _me teghrit_, what thou hast called out. _Meggered (meghered)_
is a harangue. See 29.
_Da_, not certain _Temáshight_, as _Imóshaghe_, for Kab. _Temazight_,
_Imózagh_.
_Assokel_; see 25.]
88. _I am learning Tarkíye_, etátăragh almud en Temáshight [peto
doctrinam].
_I know the Kurán by heart_, ikfāsagh el Kurān; etāfagh.
[Note: _Itar_, petiit. In Kab. I know only the causative _isuthar_,
petiit, which is common. De Slane, in a Berber (Shilha?) poem has
_idder_ and _iter_; viz. _iwellik iddernin_, toi que l’on implore (τοῖς
σε λισσομένοις?); and _win itran_, he who wishes (ὁ ζμτῶν).
_Ikfas_ is corrupt Arabic. _Ḥafiẓ_, حفظ.
_Eṭafagh_, I have caught or held fast, often has _w_, as though _waṭaf_
were the root. It is Arab. حطف, whether native or imported. Common in
Kab. See another _etaf_ in 208.]
