Section 6. TIME.
I. SELECTION OF THE GREENLAND WORDS, PECULIAR AND COMMON.
(The common stemwords of the Dialects see Vol. I.)
1) TIME IN GENERAL.
Stw Duration, time sivef; (the time or day) proceeds ilivoq.
Afx. —
Drv. Expl. The only word that might represent the abstract
idea of time is the (supposed) stemword sive. The original real
existence of this word seems proved by the derivata, as „ having
long" and „having short sive" signifies lasting a long and a short
time; but without Afx. the word is not used (see the subdivisions
here following).
2) TIME WHEN AND WHILE.
Stw. Proceeds ilivoq; coinciding nalik (nale).
Afx. Letting him, or while he tipa; when or while fik, vik.
Drv. Expl. At what daytime did he start? qanoq ilingmat (as
it had proceeded „how") autdlarpa? — answer: ima ilivdlune
(pointing at the place where the sun had been standing) autdlarpoq
it standing thus, he started; inutitdlugo letting him live, i.e. during,
his lifetime.
3) PAST AND PRESENT.
Stw. This ma; still sxde\ now the first time aitsdt; when
qanga; before sujo.
Afx. Formerly galuaq; only first gatdlarpoq; begins lerpoq-,
has finished rerpoq; has or is done simavoq.
Drv. Expl. Now mana: the first one sujugdleq; has passed
(f. e. the day) qangiupoq (stw. qak surface). Flexion comprises 110
tense; the past tense generally is given by the context, if this not
appears to be sufficiently clear, then the above named affixes are
applied.
