TWENTY FOURTH LESSON
OF THE PARTICLES NAHA, NAHI, NAPA, NASIG, NASIGHI, NANGI, NANHI,
NANIG, NANUM, NANI.
NAHA or NAHI.
This particle is used to express that the action of the verb to which
is joined, took place out of mind, or by chance. The present and past
tenses are formed with naha or nahi; the future and imperative mood
by putting maha or mahi and the infinitive mood with paha or pagpaha
before the root. When speaking in passive, the present and past are
formed with the particle hin, and the future and imperative with hi.
The particle naha admits only the passive of an, or the 3d passive,
excepting the verb gugma which must be conjugated by the passive of on.
The roots Budlay, Butang and Bu-ut, change their initial B into M,
to form the verbs.
To rest. Pagpahamudlay.
To put one's in due place. Pagpahamutang.
To be pleased with. Pagpahimu-ut
Examples:
I do not speak on purpose. Nahanayan acó sa pagsulti, or
guihinaycan co ang pagsulti.
He quite alone is enjoying of Nagahiagom sia nga usá ra sa cabilin

casingcasing mo.
NAPA.
This particle is joined to the reflexive verbs, and signifies what
the root points out. The present and past tenses are formed with napa;
the future with mapa, and the imperative by means of pa.
Examples:
He remained at home to play. Napabilin sia sa balay sa
pagdula-dula.
Distrust of flattering words. Ayao icao palimbong sa mga maghohopo
nga mga polong.
Why do you remain here? ¿Nganong napabilin ca dinhi?

passive voice.

the most proper to express reciprocalness. Like the preceding, it has
not passive voice, and its active tenses are formed with nasig the

happy. camó.
Arthur and Mary love each other. Si Arturo ug si Maria nasighiugma
sila.
NANGI.
The particle nangi, is employed but with the root Laba, which signifies
to ask for protection, to beg, to beseech any thing from God or from
the Saints. Its tenses are formed with nangi and mangi respectively;
and the passive by means of guipangi: the present and past tenses
and with pangi the future and imperative moods. Examples:
I will beg the God's grace, in this Mangilaba acó sa Dios ni-ining
trouble I am feeling. cayugot nga guiantus co.
Beg His assistance to be delivered Pangilaba mo sia aron bauion ca
from that temptation. nianang panolay.
NANHI
This particle governs only the roots Coco, Bungut and Quiqui. The
active tenses are formed with nanhi and manhi; and in passive voice
with guipanhi and panhi respectively. Examples:
He cuts himself the nails. Nanhingoco sia.
He cleans himself the teeth. Nanhingiqui sia.
He is shaving himself. Nanhimungut sia.
NANIG.
It is used before the adverb ingon, and signifies to imitate. It
is conjugated with nanig and manig and with guipanig and panig
respectively.
NANUM.
The particle nanum, is only used with the root Balay, Ex:
You are always running from house to house. Nanumbalay camó guihapon.

three passives. Thus:

truss of straw served him to make a comfortable bed--He used a bottle
as a candlestick, and with two or three birds he prepared the most

practise, (sa pagsumay-sumay) and overwhelms me with attentions; so

rich and amiable, but they are also generous and charitable.--They
love me sincerely; therefore (busa) I love them also, and shall never
say any thing against their reputation, I should love them still more

rest himself. There were there four men, who affect to sleep. One
of them got up, and approaching to the Emperor told him he had
dreamed he should take his watch, and took it. Then another rose
and said that he had dreamed his overcoat fitted him well, and took
it. The third took his purse. At last, the four came up and said:
"I hope you will not take it ill if I search you" and in doing it saw
around the Emperor's neck a golden chain to which a whistle was tied,
which he wishes to rob him of; but the Emperor said: "my good friend,
before depriving me of this jewel (hias) I must teach you its virtue,
and saying this, he whistled. His attendants who were seeking him,
hastened to the house and were astonished of seeing his majesty in
such a state. But the Emperor seeing himself out of danger (gaoas

like. I wish in my turn to dream" and after a short musing, he said:
