214. _The bird flies_, égĕdīd ígged.

_The young bird will fly [wishes to fly]_, akirt abók tégad.

_The bird sings nicely_, égĕdīd elemísli yehōsken.

_The hen cackles_, tákĕshilt rar middennis.

_—— lays eggs_, tákĕshilt tagāt ésărek.

_—— is screaming_, tákĕshilt tegabătolt.

[Note: Kab. _igṭaṭ_, birds (sing. agadet, Hodgson: read _agaṭeṭ_); but

in Brosselard, _akṭeṭ_, pl. _ikṭaṭ_, a little bird. We have here the

root _igeṭ_, it flew, it sprang aloft, 47. 70.; whence _iseggeṭ_, it

mounted (202. 216.), and _tesaggaṭ_, a feather.

_Elemisli_ may seem a derivative or compound from _isla_, he heard,

_amisli_, _a_ voice.

_Tákĕshilt_, a hen; elsewhere, _takĕshīt_, which seems more correct, as

it is the feminine form of _ákes_, the cock, which again perhaps is more

correctly _akez_, the _z_ in Temght changing to _sh_. In Kab. the forms

are _ayaziṭ_, a cock, _tayazīt_ or _thayazit_, a hen; for _aghazīṭ_,

_thaghazīṭ_, it seems. Even in Temght it may be inquired whether _gh_ is

not more correct than _k_; _i.e._ _aghez_, a cock, _taghĕzīt_, a hen.

_Rar_, _i.e._ _ghar_, cries; קרא. _Midden-nis_ her cackling. On _ḍen_ or

_ḍenḍen_, see 26.

_Ésărek_, a litter (of eggs)?]
