To express “Yes, that is so, I | with you,” hold the A and say | “A-a-a-yee." A-A-A-NAH.—This word is used to show disapproval, or to condemn any- | thing. Say the A as in Fate and draw | the sound out as indicated, then say | “nah” with the A as in Father. This means something like “No, I don't be- uevg 1t,” or “I don't agree with you at ALTA.—The first A is as in Hat, the second A as in Taught, with the accent on the first syllable. It means “NOW,” “Right at this time.” The two follot ‘l’l“n words belong to the time group, | " ALKI—8ound the A as in At, the 1 | a8 in Kick, and accent the first syllable, making the second syllable short. This means “In the future,” “Time yet to come,” “Bye and bye.” If you draw {he s~cond syllable out, it means a longer time to come. If you put "HYAS" be- fore it, saying HYAS ALKI, with both words drawn out, it means a still longer time in the future. If you use WAKE ALKI, it reverses the meaning, so that you say “Not long,” “Very soon,” or “As quick’ as ible. AH s sounded | | POss] AHNCUTTIE.—The like the English Ah, the N 15 nasal, the C has the sound of K, the U s sounded as in Up, and the TIE as though it were Ty.

If the word DE- | LATE (dee-late) 18 used as a prefix and | you say Delate Ahncuttie, that at least | doubles the past tme. If HIYU (high- | you) 15 also used as a prefix and you Almeuttie, the time ix | say Hilyu Delate again increased. and draw them all out very long as | you say them, it means longer ago than | anybody can’ remember—clear back to the beginning of the world.
