98. _Pluck off_, ekas.

_I take off, pluck_, ekăsagh.

_Raise, take away_, [tolle!] atkal.

_I carry off_, átkalagh.

_I put the load on the camel_, otāgergh ilălen fel ámĕnis; nek

etajejjegh ilălen.

[_He heaped things upon him_], egag fellas ilălen.

[Note: There are _four_ roots in Kab. with the radicals _ks_: (1.)

_Ekkes_, aufer, exue; _ikkes_, exuit. (2.) _Eks_, pasce (pecus); _iksa_,

pavit; _ikes_, pascit. (3.) _Ikes_, pupugit, momordit (serpens). (4.)

_Eksu_, plica; _iksa_, plicuit; _ikessu_, plicat. To the 3rd I refer

Delaporte’s _confregit_ arbores ventus. I have tried to resolve (2.) and

(3.) into _vulsit, carpsit_. See also _iks_ in 167.; _ekos_, 213.

_Atkal_ at first seems to be the Arabic _thaqal_; but Ben Músa spells it

with simple _k_, not _ḳ_. Yet _atkēl_, government.

In Ghad. _jejāq_ means laden. We have here a root _gag, gak_ or _gagh_,

meaning to heap or load; frequentative, _jejegh_. _Otāgergh_ is present

tense (for _otāgeghagh?_), and _etajejjegh_ apparently the

frequentative.]

99. _I take the load (from the camel)_, etakōzagh ilălen; ezózebagh

ilălen (fel amĕnis).

_I put on the (horse’s) saddle_, nek ekĕral alakīf; nek esewăragh

alakīf.

_Put the saddle on_, sūar elakīf.

_I take the saddle off_, ekássagh elakīf. (98.)

[Note: _Etakōzagh_ might seem to mean, “I come down,” but it is here

causative: as _ezózebagh_ for _esózebagh_, because (I suppose) _s_

becomes _z_ through the proximity of the other _z_. The roots _kōz, gōz,

zob_ are named in 62.

_Fel_ (upon) is used both of taking down and putting up.

_Ekeralagh?_ _ekeral_, gird? In 160. _ireled_, he girded, which perhaps

should be _igheled_.

_Sewar_, put on; and _et-awaragh_, I collect (102.), seem to be akin.

But see _owar_, in 113.]
