170. _Light the candle for me_, sokāhi téfetelt.

_I light the candle_, sekōgh téfetelt.

_I burn_, nek nesérragh.

_You have burnt your shirt_, ke teserret rishāb innek.

[Note: _Esōkegh_, I send, in 101. Yet here _sok_, light thou, and

_sekōgh_.

_Iserra_, or _iserragh_, is causative, from _irrar_ or _iragh_, it was

burnt; Kab. _iragh, ihhragh_, identical with Arab. _hharak_.

_Neserragh, nirzagh_, with _n_ superfluous, is an anomaly not rare in

Barth, apparently from the perplexity introduced from Arabic, where _n_

initial vacillates in sense between 1st pers. _sing._ and 1st pers.

_plural_.]
