VOCABULARY,
PRECEDED BY A

CONCISE GRAMMAR,

IN WHICH THE BURMAN DEFINITIONS AND WORDS ARE ACCOMPANIED WITH A


PKONUNCIATION IN THE ENGLISH CHARACTER;

DESIGNED TO EXTEND THE COLLOQUIALUSE OF THE

BURMAN LANGUAGE.

By G. II. HOUGH, of Rangoon.

S ERA M PORE:
1825.
PREFACE.

AS the design of this volume is to extend the colloquial use of the Burman Language,
the attention of the compiler in the formation and arrangement of its contents has been
chiefly directed to that object. It is hoped, however, that a learner of the written language
may find it a convenient auxiliary.

All words in the Vocabulary of verbal form terminate in ЭОЭО the ; this termination is
merely an affix, exhibiting the root to which it is attached, in the positive or assertive
mode of action or being ; divested of which, the root may be connected with other affixes
of mode or tense, as the sense to be conveyed may require ; of these the Grammar will afford
requisite information to the learner.

In pronouncing the Burman words written in the English character, particular attention
must bo given to the rules in the first page of the Grammar.

At the end of the Vocabulary is a short supplement of words, which occurred to the
compiler when too late to insert them in their proper places.
11 PREFACE.
A Burman and English Dictionary, both copious and correct, will hereafter, ft is expect?
ed, be a desideratum. The American Mission, having been established several years in
Burmah, is provided with adequate means, in regard to materials and printing in that
country, for producing it. One of the Missionaries, the Rev. Mr. Judson, now in Ava
who has made the Burman language his study more than ten years, has had the opportu
nity of collecting materials for such a work, and has already arranged the greater propor
tion of them according to the most approved orthography and etymology of the language.
Having had access to clementray books, to many of the religious and historical works
of the country, and obtained the assistance of several Burmans of learning and ability,
it may be expected that when he shall be in a situation to complete and publish the
work, it will be a valuable addition to the many useful philological publications already
fisting in the east.

It is to these materials, that the compiler of this volume is chiefly indebted for his se
lections.

GRAMMAR OF THE BURMAN LANGUAGE.

THE foundation of the Bnrman Language consists, with a few exceptions, in mono
syllabic roots ; and of particles and post positions or affixes, which constitute the rela
tion between words ; its Grammar, therefore, is the right formation of Nouns, Verbs, Par
ticiples, Adjectives, and Adverbs from monosyllabic roots, and the right use of particles
and affixes in modifying sentences.
In pronouncing the Burman words written in the English character, particular atten
tion must be given to the sounds of the following vowels and consonants, viz.
a as in ark.
aa above sound protracted.
• as in ark, but very short.
i as in mane.
M above sound contracted.
ее long.
e short.
S very short.
о as in tone or as oto in own,
2 A CONCISE GRAMMAR

S as in go.
oo as in moon,
о above sound contracted,
ae final, like ae in aeronaut.
ai as ay in Mayor, or ai in Laird.
au - as in author.
au - above sound protracted,
ie as in pie.
oi nearly as long i, the sound of о being scarcely perceived.
ou as in round.
ya final, as in yarn, otherwise the y is short, as in holy,
n final, a strong nasal sound similar to final ng.
ng initial, as their final sound in sing; or by dividing the word singing thus,
. si-nging, the right pronunciation will be found in the initial of the sylla
ble nging.
Л aspirates the consonant which it precedes or follón s, as, kAa, gfta, Anga,
tsAa, dsAa, Anya, Ata, dAa, Ana, Ара, ЬАа, Ama, Ala, Awa.
the final, as in them.
tu as in theme.
; heavy accent
c light accent.

Note.—Tn a few instances, the pronunciation of the Burmese word is given in the
English character according to colloquial usage.

The three vowels so a, оэ e, S о, combine in forming the triphthong
та which has the sound of о as in no; ils symbolic form is °, joined
with the consonant thus со, ко ; but when the consonant is initial, it has
the sound of oi or of long i, as dooS koik.

consonant thus, 06", annihilates the sound of sd, a, which the consonant
wouldt otherwise have, and renders it final ; thus coc6~, not the ta but that.

nounced tsek-ko, and cooo^ is pronounced lat-tan. L
The preceding remarks relative to the sound of the vowel so, a, in con
sonants, do not invariably apply ; for in syllables consisting of two con
sonants, the intermediate vowel-sound is sometimes e or ее. Thus, if the
syllable terminate in oS ka-that, and б nga-that, the intermediate vowel-
sound is e, according to the following examples. N. B. It will be per
ceived that there is a permutation in the sounds of some of the final con
sonants. This permutation is uniform throughout the language.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS.
The purpose of the relative pronoun is answered by the use of the con
nective eoao thau, or oopS thee, affixed to the root, and connecting it with
the noun ; thus, cooo£s koung', to be good, cooo thau, connective, CO loo
the man, is thus written, oooo&oooocû koungs-thau-loo, the man who is good,
©r the good man. opo: thwa;, to go, cooo thau, connective, oothoo, the per'
eon, ooo'coooo^thwas-thau-thoo, the person who goes. The root may admit
«f an object preceding it in the sentence. In common conversation the
connective oooo, thau, is by ellipsis frequently omitted.
сa
20 A CONCISE GRAMMAR

ADJECTIVES.
Pronominal adjectives are as follow ; they precede, and are usually
connected with the noun by the particle coco thau.
o£| tho, such, <^o3ee-tho, соэеэЗ thee-thö, such, of this sort.
сДоЗ /itö-thö, ucfoq yen-thó, such, of that sort ; ээооа5о8 a-bay-lhö,
coofoq bay-thö, «^oS mee-thö, of what sort ; ээ@боЗ a-kyeng-thö, of
whatever sort ; г^эЗ gai-lhö, such as.
The following are commonly affixed to the noun ; when, however, they
precede the noun, the connective cooo thau, may or may not be used.
OoS a-k/jyo, oo9[ trt-кйуо, some, оээрг а-кЛуа;, coop; to-k/iya?, GDCq

•' Adjectives denoting the qualities, attributes, or circumstances of men
and things, are formed from roots by prefixing so a, or affixing oooo thau,
or by affixing the simple root itself to the noun. Thus, CO loo, a man, (goO
myat, to be excellent; ôo@o5c^a-myat-loo, (§oo~çOû30^niyat-tliau-loo, ocßpiS
Ot TftE BUItlVfAtf LANGUAGE. 2=1

löo-myat, severally signify an excellent man. In the use of the adjective form
ed by prefixing 9Э a, the connective cooo thau, between the adjective and
noun, may he optional. Sometimes a reduplication of the root is employ
ed in colloquial discourse, antf affixed tô the noun ; in which case the
reduplicated adjective denotes extraordinary degree; thus <х&о5(до5 raö-
myat-tnyat, a very excellent man. The superlative degree is formed by affixing,
to the adjective, the root об- tsAôn, to be the end, thus, oo(go£ix!^cû a-myat-
tsÄöm-loo, 9о{до6аС£озоэсо a-myat-tsÄöm-thau-loo, c^ßo6ac£: loo-myat-
ts/гбп, severally signify, a man superlatively excellent.
In expressing comparative difference, the word ooOO Ätet, pronounced
dAet, an abbreviation of soooo£ a-/¿tet, an upper part, above, is affixed to
the noun or object with which the comparison is made, and by prefixing
the root ox> tha, to exceed, be more, to the verb which agrees with the sub
ject of comparison ; thus, &m^-ßou^cq^of^oSoo^ Äto-loo-dÄet-thee-
loo-tha-myat-the, than that man. this man is more excellent, эд§х>ог5Ьоо(о!^
