==..... Word building==
 
Many '''béu''' words can be analysed as being constructed from more basic elements.
 
We have given the structure of the '''béu''' noun phrase already (see ??). If a phrase consisting of the head plus a genitive or the head plus an adjective occur together many times and/or their meaning starts to take on nuances which are more than the sum of the two constituant elements then the two words coalesce . When 2 words coalesce ;-
 
1) The genitive suffix '''n''' is dropped
 
2) The first syllable of the first word is dropped.
 
3) The remainder of the first word is affixed to the second word.
 
Here are some examples ;-

We do not want a "unit", "boat".
 
⁕⁕'''nandauli''' is a good example of '''béu''' word building. '''toili''' = book, '''nandau''' = word, '''toili nandaun''' = book of words. However if two words such as these
'''geudidau''' means extended word. It is also a good example of an extended word, in itself.
 
'''geuda''' is a verb mean'''béu'''ing to extend in one direction (usually not up). '''geudo''' is an noun meaning an extension or appendix. '''geudi''' is an adjective meaning extended.
 
'''nandau geudi''' = extended word ... now when a noun and a following adjective occur together a lot (and maybe take on a meaning slightly different) the concept they represent is normally upgraded to a word, by deleting all but the last CV (consonant vowel) in the first word, and sticking this CV on to the end of the second word.
 
Hence we get '''geudidau'''. In theory there is no limit to the combinations that can occur. However in practice (outside of technical language) there are slightly under a hundred different CV's, and the number of elements that every CV can combine with, varies from 3 or 4 up to about 40.
 
In English we have a number of common endings, such as "-ism", "-ology", "ist", etc. etc. In '''béu''' the end-stuck CV's can be thought of as equivalent to these English endings : the main difference is that this word building process is much more prevalent in '''béu'''.
 
 
The CV '''-dau''' (from '''nandau''') is found in combination with a number of other elements. For example ;-
 
 
Note that in the last example, the meaning of the extended word has shifted a bit with respect to the meaning of the original words.
 
It is possible to extend further an extended word. For example ;-
 
'''kaza''' is an adjective meaning compicated and also is a noun meaning "a complicated thing" or "a complex".
 
'''kaza cwipadaun''' = a complex of a noun => '''cwipadauza''' = a noun phrase
 
===Units===
 
We discussed a little about "units" in chapter 2 under the '''noiga''' section.
 
Now we will discuss '''beu?''' units (or '''jada''') more fully.
 
The unit of distance is the '''yi?''' (3.68 km)  ... this is actually the radius of the earth divided by 1000<sub>12</sub>.
 
The unit of height is the '''hi?''' (2.13 m)  ... this is actually the '''yi?''' divided by 1000<sub>12</sub>.
 
The unit of weight is the '''wi?''' (5.6 kg)  ... this is actually (the weight of water in a cube with every side one  '''hi?''' long) divided by 1000<sub>12</sub>.
 
The unit of area is the '''ni?''' (7,839 m<sup>2</sup>)  ... this is actually (the area of a square with every side one '''hi?''' long) multiplied by  by 1000<sub>12</sub>.
 
The unit of temperature is the '''mi?''' (87 degrees Kelvin). This actually makes the temperature of the human body equal to 3 1/2 units.
 
Also 3.0 '''mih''' is -12 degrees celsius and 4.0 '''mi?''' is 75 degrees celsius. As the temperature of the air is nearly always between these 2 limits, when people discuss the weather, they normally drop the "3".
 
GIVE A FEW EXAMPLES ... show how they are written, unit of speed is ? Unit of time is ?
 
The unit of temperature is the '''?i?''' (360 degrees).
 
The unit of speed is the '''si?'''
