EIGHTEENTH LESSON

OF THE PARTICLE NAGAPACA.

NAGAPACA.

l.a This particle is composed of Naga and Pa and its active tenses are formed according to the rules above mentioned for Naga adding paca invariably.

The passive voice is formed with Guipaca or Pinaca, for the present and past tenses; and the future and imperative, with Paca, before, and on after the root. This particle admits but the second and third passives and signifies to feign what the root signifies. But when added to abstracts nouns or to neuter verbs, signifies to do heartily what the root signifies. Ex:

Saint Joseph was considered as the Si San Jose guipaca-amahan sa Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. atong Guino-ong Jesucristo.

Do not pretend to be mad, less we Ayao came pacabu-angbu-angan, esteem you as such a one. tingali ona pacabu-angbu-angon icao namo.

My broad hat serves me for an Guipacapayong co ang calo co nga umbrella. halapad.

A bottle serves me for a Pinacacandelero co ang usa ca candlestick. boteya.

How much can that horse be worth? Pilay bale caha nianang cabayo?

It is worth twenty dollars. Caluha-an ca pisos (bulaoan).

Better. Ma-ayo cay, ma-ayo sa.
