123. _I wrangle_, nek táyĕragh shélkĭkān.

_I cut (off)_ his _head_, nek tesúggŏrast [tesúggŏgh-as-t].

_Strangle thou (him)_, orëa-s.

_I strangle (him)_, nek oréägh-as.

[Note: _Isugg_, he cut off?

_Orëa_, strangle, may be compared with _eri_, neck, Kab. and in 119.]

124. _I go to war_, iggelēgh dagh égĕhen. [Egehen, _an inroad_, or

_military expedition_.]

_The people gather_, idĭnet tidauen.

_They intend an expedition_, yebōken égĕhen.

_They deliberate_, emsākan mēden.

[Note 124, 125.: _Igĕle_, he went or set off, seems to me the same root

as _tekĕli_, starting setting off, which in Kab. is _tikli_ or _thikli_.

I ventured to propose writing the verb _ikĕli_ (see 232.), and regarded

_sikel_ (travel) as its causative (viz. cause to go, _i.e._ make the

beasts start); as Arab. _sūḳ_. But Barth insists that _igĕle_ is

necessarily sounded with _g_, and _tekkĕli, sikkel_ with _k_.

_Idĭnet_; Arab. _dunia_, world? The word pervades North Africa.

_Emsākan_ seems to have _m_ as a reciprocal form.

_Mēden_, men, as in Kab.]
