Revision as of 08:30, 1 February 2006
.1[edit]
The peculiarity of the Tibetan mode of writing in distinctly marking the word-syllables, but not the words (cf. 4) composed of two or more of these, sometimes renders is doubtful what is to be rgarded as one word.
.2[edit]
There exist a great number of small monosyllables, which serve for denoting different shades of notions, grammatical relations etc., and are postponed to the word in question; but never alter its original shape, though their own initials are not seldom influenced by its final consonant (cf. 15).
.3[edit]
Such monosyllables may conveniently be regarded as terminations, forming one word together with the preceeding nominal or verbal root.
.4[edit]
The accent is, in such cases, most naturally given to the root, or, in compounds, generally to the latter part of the composition, as: mig ,eye', mig gi ,of the eye'; lag ,hand', lag shubs ,'hand covering, glove'.
