Excerpt from A Grammar of the Kaffir LanguageThe Synoptical Tables, with the Explanatory Notes attached, which are given in the Appendix No. I. May be regarded as an epitome of the Grammar, in which are shown in a condensed form the Elementary principles of the language. The Appendix No. 2 consists of such exercises on the Grammar as are calculated to enable the learner to acquire a knowledge of its contents without the aid of a teacher. In the paragraph referring to vowels in the body of the Grammar, the following has been omitted - The vowels are sometimes aspirated, instead of using the letter h when it is required in combination with other consonants immediately preceding a vowel. When thus aspirated the vowel is written with the spiritus caper, which is placed to the left of the letter, as, Bin, (write), Xbm, (hew). The semi-vowel w follows the same rule, as, mam, (happiness).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
