_They fell upon the cattle_, ehōkan ishítan.
_They plunder the tents_, ásfeken ihánnan.
_They take away everything_, atáfen auay ilādihen _d_er rurret
(_they seize whatever (is) there_ of _the whole_.)
_They take the male and female slaves_, ígfălen íkĕlan e
tikélăten.
[Note: _Ohak, ohag_, in Temght, are the root _awagh_ of Kab., but take a
stronger sense. _awagh_ is “sume,” but _ohag_, “cape, rape.”
_Ehōkan_ in 127. is _óhăgen_; but perhaps they differ in tense.
_Asfeken_, I conjecture, should be _asfeghen_, they empty; from _fagh_.
See 174.
_Igfal_ may seem to be the same word as _ikfel_, he ransacked. 130.]
127. _They lead away the horses_, wottan íyesan. [_They bring up?_ See
_iwaṭ_ in 94.]
_They drive away the cows_, óhăgen iwan.
_—— the woolly sheep_, óhăgen tikíndemén.
_—— the (hairy) sheep_, óhăgen tíhatēn.
_—— the goats_, óhăgen ulli.
[Note: _Tihatēn_ seems to be the same word as _tighaten_, goats, from
_taghat_, she-goat, in Kab. Barth also has _tarat_ (= _taghat_), she-
goat; yet he is sure that _tihatēn_ means (hairy) sheep; and that _ulli_
(which in Kab. is a flock of sheep or goats) is the Temght plural for
goats. In 137. _ulli_ is sheep (?). [There is no doubt that _ulli_
comprises occasionally both sheep and goats.—B.]]
128. _There was nothing but weeping of the women and children_, war
akímu har tidĕdēn e iliáden immerauen dag timshagh. [N.B. e,
_and_; as 126. 130.]
_They fought hard_, úsăsan ágăzar.
_They would not flee_, war ebōkan égewet. (52.)
[Note: _Akimu_ is from _iḳīm_, it rested or remained (41.); also, it
remained _over_. _Har_, except.
_Immerau_, reciprocal verb, from _iru_, he sobbed; _immerauen_, they
sobbed mutually.
_Agĕzar_, war. _Usăsan_ (perhaps), “they made obstinate;” Ar. _ʿasa_;
which might generate a causative verb, _isasa_. But for the Arabic root,
we have in Kab. _azzay_, heavy. See _azúen_ in 150.]
129. _They vanquished them only by numbers_, éntenet war tanárnen har
s egōd.
_Died, who died_, amūt, awa amūt.
_Was wounded, who was wounded_, égeshēn búyĭsen, awa būyis.
_Was speared, who was speared_, égeshēn tídik, awa gíshen.
_Was smitten, who was smitten_, égeshēn tíwit awa gíshen.
_The whole tribe was extirpated_, tausit ikétĕnes témminde. (91.)
_Except a few lads who were absent_, asel harret ilíaden, war
hadarīn.
_There was not one who was not wounded_, war tílle dakhsen ĕrē war
nebūyis.
[Note: _War tan-arnen_. The negative _war_ attracts the pron. accus.
_tan_ (them). _Arnen_, they overcame, as in Kab.
_Egōd_, multitude, as in Shilha _yeggūt_, it was numerous.
_Egishen_ seems to come from _egish_, enter or pierce. (So _egishāhi
terjadauten_, cup me behind the ear, _i.e._ pierce to me the back-head.)
_Idak_, he pierced with a spear, Heb. _daḳar_; Ar. _daḳḳ wat_, _i_he
struck, smote. Hence _tidik_ and _tiwit_, feminine nouns.
_Erē ..._ qu. _war-erē_, ne-pas? So Kab.]
