No exercises have been prepared for this and the following lessons, the number of words in each lesson being so great that they could not be dealt with adequately in the space available. Moreover the proper use of these words hardly requires further elucidation.

LESSON XXVII.

Compound Words.

164. The Malays use a large number of compound words. Some of these liave already been given in previous lessons, but a more complete list will probably be found useful, especially as some are very idiomatic. The references to Shellabear's Vocabulary will give the student a larger number of words than could possibly be printed here.
