Chetàng-te, "It is not enough": che, reflexive particle, tàng, verb, to complete, finish; te, negative: literally, "it does not finish our business, it does not do all we want."

Làng, an auxiliary verb which seems to indicate continuousness, to go on being or doing. Observe that -te is used to indicate the two parts of a conditional sentence: chainòng a-òk jòr-dàm-te, èn-ji làng-te "if we go selling cow's flesh, they will go on taking it." In chainòng-do-o-para, o is a syllable indicating multitude, perhaps another form of òng; para is a loan-word from Assamese.

E-ke-chobei, "us he has cheated," e- is the pronoun of the first person plural including the person addressed. Notice the doublets--echainòng ehaidi "our cattle," erèng e-hu, "our skins" (hu, "hide, bark of a tree"), and observe how e- is prefixed to each part of the sentence. Atum chibusi: tum is here a bamboo basket in which to carry a load on the back; bu, "to plait or weave." Hèm me-kecho "the house that had been eaten (cho) by fire (me)"; hum, to pick up, collect.

Chi-hi-ri-tha, chi reflexive particle; hi, verb, "to rub in"; ri particle for the negative imperative, "do not"; tha, ordinary imperative affix, which may be dispensed with when the negative particle is used. Tha! "wait"! loan-word from Assamese. Tàn-mu-chòt: mu is the comparative particle, "more," chòt is the constant suffix to mu; tàn, a verb, to be severe, burdensome. Chu-aphàn, "than last time:" aphàn is the postposition of comparison = "than." Lòng-dàm-o-lo "have you got so much more": o is, as before,the particle of multitude.
