II. GRAMMATICAL ANALYSIS. (continued 5)

Reading edition

461. The active may denote a rational actor successful, thanks to outer circumstances, in such and such an action. Nakáhampas aŋ báta ŋ si Hwàn naŋ isa ŋ tutubè. Little Juan succeeded in hitting a dragon-fly with his whip. Nakàháte si Hwàn 30naŋ maŋa mansánas. Juan got a chance to divide up the apples. Nakàkàkapá sya naŋ isa ŋ palakàʾ. He has got hold of a frog (as, in grasping for frogs in mud-holes). Nakàpána akò naŋ usà. I hit a deer with an arrow. Nakàtípun nà akò naŋ maŋa dáhon, naŋ pumaròn si Tátay. By the time Father got there, I had already 35had time to get some leaves heaped up. So also: ágaw, hiŋìʾ, sáli.

Abstract: Aŋ pagkàbúhay naŋ médiko sa kay Hwàn ay isà ŋ malakì ŋ ikinatwá naŋ kanya ŋ kababáyan. The doctor’s saving of Juan’s life was a cause of great gladness to his fellow-townsmen. Aŋ pagkàtáwag nyà sa médiko ŋ nagligtàs naŋ búhay naŋ kanya 40ŋ anàk ay dahilàn sa pagkàgámit nya naŋ teléfono. His chance of calling the doctor who saved his child’s life was due to the use he was enabled to make of the telephone. Aŋ nagìŋ pagkágupit nyà sa makapàl na damìt ay naŋyáre dahilàn sa paggámit nya naŋ guntìŋ naŋ láta. The fact that he was able to cut the thick cloth was due to his using the tin-shears. Aŋ pagkáhampas nyà sa maŋa bátàʾ ay dahilàn sa kahabáan naŋ kanya ŋ pamáloʾ. He can hit the children 5because of the length of his stick. Aŋ pagkàháraŋ kina Hwàn ay sya nilà ŋ ikinawalá naŋ kanila ŋ salapèʾ. Juan and his party’s having been held up was what deprived them of their money. Aŋ pagkàháti nya sa tubù ay hindí maŋyàyáre kuŋ gumámit sya naŋ mapurùl na gúlok. He would not have been able to slice the sugar-cane 10down its length (as a game or trick), if he had used a dull bolo. Pagkàísip nya kuŋ anò aŋ dápat nya ŋ gawìn sa magnanákaw na nàhúli nya, ay ginawá nya iyòn agàd. When he had at last hit upon the idea of what to do with the thief he had caught, he immediately carried it out. Naŋhináyaŋ aŋ boo ŋ báyan sa 15pagkápatay kay Risàl naŋ maŋa Kastílaʾ. The whole country mourned over the killing of Rizal by the Spaniards. Aŋ ámi ŋ pagkásakay sa baŋkàʾ ay syà ŋ nagligtàs sa ámi ŋ búhay. Our having been able to get into the canoe is what saved our lives. Aŋ pagkàsúnog naŋ maŋa magnanákaw sa báyan ay pinarusáhan naŋ 20gubyèrno. The thieves’ burning the town was punished by the government. Aŋ pagkátayo naŋ isa ŋ báhay-pàmahaláa ŋ batò ay dahilàn sa pagpapaalaála ni Hwàn naŋ paŋánib sa súnog. The fact that a stone government-building came after all to be built, was due to Juan’s calling attention to the danger from fire. Anu 25ŋ pagkátipid ni Hwàn! How saving Juan has been! So from: sábi, táwag.

462. The active is used of certain acts of sensation whose occurrence is out of the control of the subject: aŋ nakàkìkilála, aŋ nakàkàkilála one who has got knowledge of a person or thing, has 30come to know his habits, recognizes his nature. Aŋ pagkàgúlat ni Hwána ay syà ŋ ikinátawà naŋ marámi ŋ nakàkàkíta. Juana’s astonishment amused many who saw it. With kilála compare nakáramdàm felt; with kíta, nakàmálay, nakátanàw, and nakárinìg heard.

35Abstract: Malínaw aŋ pagkàkíta ko sa naŋyáre. I had a clear view of what took place. So: dinìg, masìd, tanàw.

463. The direct passive has the forms mà-, mà- R, nà-, nà- R.

It may correspond regularly to the active type in § 460, and 40denote an object undergoing an accidental action of a rational actor.

Nàáso ko sa boo ŋ báyan aŋ bátaʾ, káhit na hindí ko gustò. I was forced to go shouting after the child all over town, though I didn’t like to do it. Hindí mu ba nàbása sa diyáriyo aŋ tuŋkùl sa súnog? Haven’t you come across the details of the fire in the paper? Baká mo màbásag, Hwána, iyà ŋ pinaglàlaruwan mò ŋ 5kandeléro. See that you don’t break that candlestick you’re playing with, Juana. Nádala nyà naŋ hindí sinásadyàʾ sa kanya ŋ pagalìs aŋ áki ŋ páyoŋ. When he went away he inadvertently carried off my umbrella. Nàgambála ku aŋ pagaáral ni Hwàn dahilàn sa áki ŋ pagdatìŋ na walá sa óras. I disturbed Juan in 10his studying by my untimely arrival. Nàgámit ni Hwàn aŋ áki ŋ, sombréro dahilàn sa kanyà ŋ pagmamadalí naŋ pagalìs. Juan used my hat in the haste of his departure. Nàgísiŋ nya sa kanya ŋ pagiiŋày aŋ maŋa bátaʾ. What with his racket he woke up the children. Náhampàs naŋ hindí sinásadyá ni Pédro aŋ bábuy naŋ 15kanya ŋ kápit-báhay. Pedro inadvertently hit his neighbor’s hog with his whip. Nàíwan din nyà sa ákin aŋ kanyà ŋ anàk, káhit na itò y áyaw nya ŋ gawìn. She was also forced to leave her child with me, although she disliked to do this. Nápatày ko naŋ barìl-barílan aŋ manòk. I accidentally killed the chicken with my toy-gun. 20Kánin mo aŋ milòn, kuŋ iyu ŋ gustò, o kayàʾ aŋ ságiŋ, kuŋ sya mo itò ŋ nàpìpíleʾ.—Nàpìpíli ko aŋ milòn. Eat the banana, if you like, or the melon, if you prefer it.—I prefer the melon. Nápitas nyà aŋ bulaklàk naŋ hindí sinásadyàʾ. She picked the flower without intending to. Nàpútol ko naŋ hindí sinásadyàʾ aŋ lúbid na 25itò. I chanced, without intending it, to cut this string. Baká mo màsíraʾ, Hwàn, aŋ patágo sa iyù ŋ kwàlta naŋ iyu ŋ kapatìd. See to it, Juan, that you don’t do away with your brother’s money that is entrusted to you. Nàusísà ni Hwána aŋ inumìt na siŋsìŋ naŋ kanyà ŋ kapatìd. Juana happened to inquire for the ring her 30sister had filched. So from: aŋkìn, búlag, bútas, hábol, patày, púlot.

464. The direct passive may correspond regularly to the active described in § 461, and denote an object undergoing an action which a rational actor was enabled to perform by virtue of 35outer circumstances.

Aŋ úlo ni Hwàn ay nàbìbílog naŋ kanya ŋ kalaròʾ. Juan’s playmates are succeeding in making a fool of him (literally: in rounding his head). Nágupit nyà aŋ makapàl na damìt. It turned out that he was able to cut the thick cloth. Hindí ku màípon 40aŋ maŋa karáyum na naŋàsábug sa lúpaʾ. I did not succeed in gathering up all the needles that were scattered over the floor. Hindí ko mápatay aŋ púsa ŋ itò. I cannot kill this cat (i.e. its life is tough, it gets away, etc.) Kapag nàpútol mo aŋ bákal na iyàn, ikàw ay makawáwalàʾ. If you can get a chance to cut through that iron, you can make your escape. Nàpútol nya aŋ káhoy. He got the wood cut all right. Hindí nya màpútol aŋ leèg naŋ manòk. He couldn’t get the chicken’s neck cut through. 5Màpùpútol na raw nyà aŋ púno naŋ káhoy na nabwàl. He says he will be in a position to cut through the tree that has fallen. aŋ kanyà ŋ násiŋìl the money he was able to collect. Similarly, from: bálot, gawàʾ, húli, kúha, kúlam, nákaw, pitàs, sábi, taàs, táwag.

465. Similarly, the direct passive is regularly used to correspond 10to the active in § 462, of objects of sensation. Nàkilála ko si Hwàn doòn sa sàwáyan. I got acquainted with Juan at that dance. So from: alaála, dinìg, inò, kíta, málas, pansìn.

466. Other uses of the direct passive do not regularly correspond to any active, cf. § 440 f.; these have their own abstract 15with pagkà-.

The direct passive is used to denote an object which has accidentally got into such and such a condition; the actor is either indifferent or entirely lacking. There seems to be no abstract principle clearly separating this form from the passive with na- 20described in § 440; where position of the object is involved, the accidental form is preferred.

Nàbúte aŋ kanyà ŋ pagkatákot. His fear reached a high point. Aŋ kanya ŋ baŋkà y patúŋo sa bandà ŋ kalunúran, dátapuwat pagkaraàn naŋ ilà ŋ sandalìʾ ay náiba aŋ kanya ŋ bandáhin. 25His canoe was headed toward the west, but after a while his direction changed.

The tangerines you sent have been shipped. Nàtúlin aŋ pagpapadulàs 30naŋ báta ŋ si Hwàn sa pútek. Juan’s sliding on the mud got faster and faster (in spite of him).

Similarly from: bágay, balítaʾ, baòn, dápat, doòn, hintòʾ, húsay, kápit, lapàg, látag, ligtàs, liguwàk, lípat, lubòg, lúlan, mána, nákaw, pagítan, pákoʾ, patày, pátuŋ, sábog, taàn, tábon, 35tágoʾ, talàʾ, tanìm, taòn, tayòʾ, tirà, túlos, únat.

Abstract: Pagkásakay naŋ maŋa sáko naŋ kamóte sa trèn ay lumákad itò agàd. As soon as the bags of sweet-potatoes had been put on board the train, the latter started to move. So from: balítaʾ, gámit, ibà, látag, libìŋ, sarà.

40466a. This irregular passive is used also of animate, rational subjects, whose actions, then, are viewed rather as an accidental undergoing; this type is not clearly definable from that with ma- in § 441, except where both forms are used in contrast (-higàʾ); the habit with regard to each root is, however, entirely fixed.

In some cases the accidental actor is imaginable: Náakyàt si Pédro sa itaàs naŋ láŋit dahilàn sa ginawá nya ŋ pagkápit sa 5pinalipàd na lóbo. Pedro got carried up into the air owing to his grip on the loosed balloon. Nàháraŋ sina Hwàn sa daà-ŋ-Balíwag. Juan and his company chanced to get held up on the Baliuag road. Hwag kà, Hwàn, pumásuk sa sekréta, sapagkàt baká ka máhigàʾ sa ihawàn, kuŋ ikàw ay màhúle. Don’t go as a spy, Juan, for you 10might get laid on the gridiron, if you got caught. Similarly: baŋgìt, barìl, bilaŋgòʾ, distíno, húli, ligtàs, píliʾ, taŋgàp, táwag.

Processes of life: Sya y nábiŋì. He got deaf. Nàbúte si Hwàn sa kanya ŋ pagkatákot. Juan was bettered by his fright. Si Pédro at si Maryà ay màkàkasàl. Pedro and Maria will get 15married some day. So: himbìŋ, lóko, tahímik, tinìk, túto, wíli.

Abstract: Aŋ pagkàgúlat ni Hwána sa maíŋay na putòk naŋ kanyòn ay sya nyà ŋ ikinabiŋì. Juana’s shock at the loud report of the cannon was what made her deaf. Malakì aŋ kanila ŋ nagìŋ pagkàgúlat. Their astonishment was great. Aŋ pagkàsúnog sa 20maŋa sundálo sa loòb naŋ báhay ay naŋyári dáhil sa pagkásara naŋ maŋa bintánaʾ. The fact that the soldiers were burned in the house was due to the circumstance that the windows had been closed. Aŋ pagkátinìk sa lalamúnan naŋ bátaʾ ay sya nyà ŋ ikinamatày. The boy’s getting a fishbone into his throat was what 25killed him. Pagkátinik naŋ uŋgòʾ ay sya y nagálit. When the monkey had got a spine into his foot he got angry. Aŋ pagkàwíle ni Hwàn sa báhay ny Andrès ay dahilàn sa anàk na dalága nitò. Juan’s being spell-bound in Andres’ house was due to the latter’s daughter. So: gustò, kasàl, maŋhàʾ.

30Movements, especially the resultant position: Sya y nárapàʾ. He fell on his face. Náriyan kamì sa iyo ŋ báhay kahápon naŋ umága, dátapuwat hindí ka námin dinatnàn. We were at your house yesterday morning, but we did not find you there. Náluhod sya sa kanyà ŋ harapàn. He knelt down in front of her. Nàpàpagítan si Hwàn sa dalawà ŋ dalága. 35Juan chanced to get placed between two young ladies. Sila y nàùupòʾ. They are seated. Similarly from: ákap, alìs, bálot, díne, díto, dulàs, doòn, haràp, kublì, kulòŋ, lákad, lugmòk, padpàd, panhìk, sakày, sísid, tabì, tágoʾ, tayòʾ, tirà, tuŋtòŋ.

Abstract: Aŋ ikinátahol naŋ maŋa áso ay aŋ pagkádapá ni 40Hwàn. What made the dogs bark was Juan’s falling on his face. Pagkásakay ni Hwàn sa trèn ay lumákad ito ŋ agàd. When Juan was on board the train, it soon started to move. So also: dulàs, kublì, lagày, panhìk, silìd, tabì, tayòʾ.

467. The passive forms an explicit plural in which -aŋ- is infixed into the nà-: Tibáyan mo aŋ maŋa itátayú mo ŋ kúbo sa búkid, sapagkàt baká iyo y maŋágibàʾ kuŋ lumakàs aŋ háŋin. Prop up the huts you are going to build in the fields, for otherwise 5they might break down when the wind gets stronger. Maŋàgìgibàʾ aŋ maŋa báhay na itò, sapagkàt hindí támaʾ aŋ pagkátayòʾ. These houses will break down, because they are not built right. So from: paŋàw, sábog, taluŋkòʾ.

468. An irregular form is nàndon beside ná-roòn.

10469. Accent shift is due to the root: Aŋ pagpapatahòl ni Hwàn sa kanya ŋ áso ay nakàtàtawà. Juan’s making his dog bark is a funny sight. So álam, túloy.

Passive: Náabut nyà sa kanyà ŋ paglulundàg na may táŋa ŋ pamáloʾ aŋ ilawàn, kanyàʾ itò y nabásag. In his climbing with 15the stick in hand, he accidentally reached the lamp, and so it got broken. Sya y nábulàg. He went blind. So: gísiŋ, háyag, húli, lápit, láyoʾ, túloy.

From derived words: Passive: Nàtàtagílid aŋ baŋkàʾ. The 25boat has a list to one side (ta-gílid, § 523).

(1) Simple static forms.

481. The root with prefix pa- denotes an object or person ordered, caused, or allowed to undergo such and such an action. The person caused to undergo may be the same as the person ordering 5or allowing.

(a) From a derived word: paitaàs (itaàs, § 373).

(b) The peculiar meaning is weakened in some words: aŋ paága a kind of rice which matures early, aŋ pakinábaŋ profit, advantage, aŋ palabàs a theatrical performance, aŋ palígoʾ a bath, 5aŋ pamagàt an appellation, a nickname. So from: baŋòʾ, bása, bayò, bigàt, daàn, dúsa, háyag, hintúlot, lákad, lígid, lúgit, sákit, talìm.

(a) The accent shift is due to the root and the value of the formation is as in § 481, in: Aŋ paabòt mo ŋ súlat ay tinaŋgàp ko. I have received the letter you sent to me. Si Hwàn ay isa ŋ 25báta ŋ pabayàʾ. Juan is a neglectful boy.

(b) The accent shift is like that of a root word in: Paligú na aŋ maŋa bátaʾ. The children are bathed now (pa-lígoʾ).

483. pa- r, as explicit plural: see ábot.

484. pa- D. The action is repeated at short intervals; the 30reflexive value is frequent. Sya y lumàlákad na pahintò-hintòʾ. He goes on, stopping every little while. Pamalí-malìʾ aŋ kanya ŋ pagbílaŋ. His count contains repeated errors. Alam nyà aŋ maŋa pasíkot-síkot sa báya-ŋ-Balíwag. He knows all the ins and outs of the district of Baliuag. So from: iyàk, lígid, mínsan, pasiyàl, 35túlog.

(a) Accent shift is due to the root: Patúlog-túlog at pagisìŋ-gisìŋ siyà. He sleeps and wakes by fits and starts. Patawà-tawà at paiyàk-iyàk siyà. She giggles at one moment and weeps the next.

485. pa-pa- has durative-iterative meaning: Papaalìs sya 40naŋ akò y dumatìŋ. He was just going away when I arrived. Papauròŋ sya ŋ lumàlákad. He was going backwards. So from labàs.

(a) papáno (anò) seems equivalent to páno (§ 481,c).

486. As appears in the example of paligòʾ above (§ 482,b), the forms with pa- are apparently capable of all the modifications that are found in simple roots: Thus:

5(a) with prefix paŋ- (§ 347): Paŋpakáin sa bátaʾ aŋ gátas na itò. This milk is for the children’s food. Paŋpakáin sa panaúhin aŋ pinatay kò ŋ túpa. The sheep I have slaughtered is for serving to the guests. Paŋpatukà sa manòk aŋ pálay na itò. These rice-grains are to be given to the chickens to pick (tukàʾ the beak 10of a fowl). So from: dikìt, lígoʾ.

(b) with ka- R (§ 400): Kapàpapútol ko pa lámaŋ naŋ maŋa káhoy na itò. I have just had this firewood cut.

(c) with ka-pag- R (§ 400,a): Kapagpàpapútol ko lámaŋ naŋ siìt kay Hwàn. I have just ordered Juan to cut up the bamboo 15spines.

(2) Normal transients, abstracts, and special static words.

487. The root with pa- is sometimes used as a transient contingent punctual, with the value of a reflexive passive; more commonly the form with ma-pa- (§ 506) fulfils this function. There 20are three types:

(a) Genuine reflexive passive: Paábut ka sa maŋà nagsìsihábul sa iyò. Let yourself be overtaken by your pursuers. Paakyat kà kay Hwàn sa itaàs naŋ káhoy. Ask Juan to take you up into the tree. Twì ŋ papásuk akò sa síne sa áki ŋ kúyaŋ, ay nasìsiráan 25aŋ mákina. Every time I ask my oldest brother to take me to the moving-picture show, something goes wrong with the machine. So: kasàl, ligàw.

(b) Reflexive of interest: one who orders that something undergo such and such an action for him: Paakyàt ka kay Hwàn naŋ 30isa ŋ búŋa-ŋ-nyòg. Ask Juan to climb for a cocoanut for you.

(c) Reflexive of motion; the pa- has faded value; thus are used the local equivalents of the demonstrative pronouns and a few other words. Paríni ka. Come here. Tuwì ŋ aku y paroòn sa kanya ŋ báhay ay hindí ku sya inàabútan. Every time I go to his 35house, I fail to find him in.

(d) If the pa- is accented, the action is more intense: Pàága ka naŋ pagparíto. Be very early in your coming here.

(e) A contingent durative is formed with pa- R. (a) Paáakyat akò kay Hwàn sa itaàs naŋ káhoy. I shall ask Juan to take me 40up into the tree with him. Papàpások akò sa síne sa áki ŋ kúyaŋ. I shall ask my brother to take me to the moving-picture show. (b) Paáakyat akò kay Hwàn naŋ isa ŋ búŋa-ŋ-nyòg. I shall ask Juan to climb for a cocoanut for me. Papùpútol akò naŋ buhòk kay Hwàn. I shall ask Juan to cut my hair.

488. For the reflexive of motion (§ 487,c) a set of transients 5and an abstract are formed with -um- and pag-. These also are equivalent to the forms with ma-pa- (§ 506).

(a) Regularly from the four roots serving as locals of the demonstrative pronouns. Pumaríni ka! Come here! Pumaríne ka sa áki ŋ tabì. Come close here to my side.

10Madálaŋ aŋ pagparíto naŋ maŋa bálaŋ. Locusts come here but rarely. Pího ako ŋ pàparíto sa alasìŋko. I will surely come here at five o’clock.

Pápariyàn sána kamì, dátapuwat nagkaroòn kamì naŋ malakì ŋ kaabalahàn, kanyà hindí kami nátuloy. We were coming to you, 15but we had so much trouble that we did not carry out our intention.

Pagparoòn ko ay sàsabíhin ko sa kanyà aŋ ibinalítà mo. When I get there I shall tell him what you have told me. Kità ŋ dalawà ay páparon sa teyátro. We two are going to the theatre.

(b) Occasionally from loòb: pumaloòb.

20(c) Also the abstracts pagpalígoʾ, pagpanáog; these form the transient with ma- from the root (§ 441); and pagpatúŋo, which forms its transient with -um- from the root.

(d) Plurals: magsipalígoʾ, nagsìsipanáog.

489. mag-pa-, pag-pa-pa-. Active with mag- from the root 25with pa- denotes one who causes, orders, or allows such and such an action to be performed on something else or (reflexively) on himself.

Nagpaáyap aŋ ámi ŋ kaséra. Our landlady served a relish. Si Hwàn ay nagpabáyaʾ sa kanya ŋ tuŋkúlin. Juan grew lax 30about his duties. Nagpabyày si Hwàn naŋ isdàʾ sa kanya ŋ palàisdáan.
