They were forced to sit down on the floor and listen to him like three coffee-shop loungers being told a story; and I don't doubt that the effect was strengthened by the Sikh's standing facing them, for the contrast was as between jackals and a lion. Not that they were small men, for they weren't, or mere ten-dollar assassins picked up in the suk.
"Please tell me where you come from." "From beyond El-Maan." She made a gesture with one hand and her shoulder that suggested illimitable distances. "From which place beyond El-Maan?" She laughed, and you felt she did it not in self-defense, but out of sheer amusement. "Ask the jackal where his hole is! My people live in tents." "Ask El-Kalil. The whole suk talks of me. I have made purchases."
"All right. Send her up to the governorate and no delays, mind! We start tonight at sundown." On our way back we met Narayan Singh returning from the suk with parcels under his arm.

She had got through without telling the lie which she feared she must. "I'm goin' home after breakfast." Jane asked nothing further, but called from the open door, "Sukey, Sukey! Suk, Suk, Suk!"

The tent-ropes was all skew-nosed, an' the pegs looked as dhrunk as the men fifty av thim the scourin's, an' rinsin's, an' Divil's lavin's av the Ould Rig'mint. I tell you, Sorr, they were dhrunker than any men you've ever seen in your mortial life. How does a draf' get dhrunk? How does a frog get fat? They suk ut in through their shkins.

Xong ruko is in Palaung rekao, sakao, or takao. Dog. The common word for this animal will be found to be nearly the same in sound in many of these languages, e.g. Suk. cho; Stieng, sou; Bahnar, ko, cho; Annam, cho; Xong, tcho; Mi, khmu; Lemet, so; Palaung, tsao, hsao; Khasi; ksew. The Mon khluiw is the same as the Khasi ksew, if l is changed into s. Rat, mouse.
He was arrested on Independence Day and sent to prison where a barbarous Japanese officer, whom the natives called "The Brute" kicked him in the side because he would not give up his Christ. From that kick and further inhuman treatment running over a period of six months; a disease developed which a most reliable missionary doctor told me ended Pak Suk Han's life.
Mon, kh'tam; Khmêr, ktam; Khasi, tham. If we add the gender sign to the Khasi word, it becomes ka tham, and we have exact correspondence. Woman. Mon, brou or brao. Child. So, kón; Suk, kon; Mon, kon; Hüei, kuon; Annan, kon; Khmêr, kun; Khasi, khun. Compare Nancowry, kon. Eye. The word mat, mat, mat, run through several of these languages, e.g.
