Note :
At the insistent request of some English-speaking visitors, I was forced to translate this lexicon from French to English. It’s a colossal job that took me a lot of time, I applied myself and tried to do my best. Despite this, since English is not my usual language, there could be some translation errors here and there. If you find any, do not hesitate to report them to me by writing to me through the contact page of this website.
Thank you in advance !
VERBS.
In some verbs, by replacing the ending “a” with “isa” or the “ia” with the “eisa”, the meaning of the verb becomes (making “verb”) or ( helping to make “verb”), example: koyoka (to hear) which becomes koyokisa (to make heard) and kolia (to eat) which becomes koleisa (to make eat).
Similarly, by replacing the final “a” with “ela”, the meaning becomes (to undergo the “verb”) or (“verb” for or to), for example kolamba (to cook) which turns into kolambela (to cook for) and konoka (to rain) into konokela “mbula” (to undergo the rain).
By replacing the final “a” by “ama”, the verb takes the form “to verb oneself”, example: “kobomba : to hide” becomes “kobombama : to hide oneself “.
Finally, by replacing the final “a” with “ana”, the initial verb turns into a reciprocal pronominal verb, the verb refers reciprocally to the members of a group or set. Example: koboya (to abandon, to refuse) which turns into koboyana (to abandon each other, to divorce) or kosalisa (to help) into kosalisana (to help each other). When the initial verb is pronominal at the base, it does not fall into this category of verbs, as is the case of the verb kobunda (to fight) and the verb kobundana (to struggle).
Some verbs are transformed by adding the prefix “mi” to them, in which case the action of the verb concerns the subject itself. Example: kotuna (to question) becomes komituna which means to question oneself.
When the verb is preceded by the prefix “mi”, it means that it is transformed into a pronominal verb (to “verb” oneself). Example: kotala (to look) which becomes komitala (to look at oneself).
All these derived verbs are not present in this lexicon and can be reconstructed according to these rules.
The above case is only one particularity of the direct or indirect object complement associated with the verb. The “mi” replaces the “oneself” to which the verb refers to. The same form will be used when it comes to “he”, “we”, “you” and “them”, which are translated respectively as “mo”, “mi”, “bo” and “ba”, so in the case of the verb “kotuna” it gives “tomotunaki” or “totunaki ye”, “tomitunaki”, “tobotunaki” or “totunaki bino” and “tobatunaki” or “totunaki bango”.
When a verb is doubled, it indicates a repetitive action, example: koloba (to speak) becomes koloba-loba which means “to talk too much, to say anything”. To name this habit, we replace the “ko” by “bi”, e. g. biloba-loba (habit of talking too much uselessly), bilanda-landa (habit of following anyone) or bilinga-linga (habit of loving anyone or fickle)
In some verbs, the “a” at the end of the verb is replaced by “e”. Examples: “kokenda” (to leave) which becomes “kokende” and “komela” (to drink, to swallow) which becomes “komele”.
