Section 11.

Niliwara, 'anger'; cf. bukka, ' wrath, rage, fury.'

Katan, 'is,' the present teuse of kakilliko, 'to be' in a state.

Purreag, 'day.'

Tarakai, 'evil, bad'; opposed to murrarag, 'good.'

Tarakai kinko, 'on account of the wicked.'

Section 12.

Kauwal, 'great'; kauwal-kauwal, 'very great.' The com- parison is drawn always by what the one is and the other is not; hence, kauwal kan noa, 'he is great'; Eloi ta, 'God is'; warea ta gearunba bulbul, 'little it is our hearts.'

"Warea, 'little,' in size.

Bulbul, ' heart' of animals and man ; not ' heart ' of oak or the like.
