Dak #405
Comments
It comes from "dmak" as in together. But in many sentences like this one,
it's shortened to "dak."
Kelteketel a taem el dak el kiei...
In this context, I would translate the sentence to: As they lived together
for some time, the old man discovered Ezekiel's interest in songs."
If you change the sentence to " Ng kelteketel a taem el dak el kiei e ngika
el rubak a KOL MLO METIK... Then it would be "After all this time or they
lived together for a long time when finally the old man discovered...
Slight changes... But that's a whole different issue.. Lol. DAK remains the
same in both sentences.
Other example sentences with the word in different forms:
Jim, me de DAK el mora ospitar. Jim, let's go to the hospital together.
Ngak ma Jim a DILAK el mo er a ospitar. Jim and I went to the hospital
together.
A lekok DMAK ngak ma Jim el mo er a ospitar e ng di ng mla merael. I was
going to go to the hospital with Jim but he left already.
Jim, MDAK kau ma Lukes el mo er a ospitar. Jim, go with Lukes to the
hospital.
Hope this helps.

Is "dak" an actual word, or is it just a mistyping of "diak?" I came
across this sentence: "Klteketel a taem el dak el kie e ngika el rubak a

wonder if it should be "diak el kie?" What is a good translation for that
first part of the line: klteketel a taem el dak el kie? Searching for the
phrase "dak" turns up a lot of examples on tekinged, but they look like
mistypes.

Hey Jim, I think this is a pattern in more words than just DMAK. If you look at the grammar book in Section 6.4.2, you'll see that 'M' is a verb marker infix found in the base version of many verbs: And, I don't know where it is explained in the grammer book (Aleks probably does!), but the 'M' infix is dropped in many non-base versions like hypotheticals and past tense versions. So DMAK becomes DAK in a hypothetical like 'SEL DE DAK' for 'when we are together' and in the past past tense like 'AKI DILAK' for 'we were together. I tried to do a SQL search to find all the documented verbs that follow this pattern:

@Lukes-Imeyuns , thanks for an awesome explanation and example sentences. |
OK, we should create an auto parse for this. Add it to DMAK as a v.s.hypo. and add the example sentences from Lukes as well: |
