LESSON 22 (Reel 22, Slides 161-177)
L22 PREPARATION
a. Study the dialogue of L22.1 before you pronounce it.
See ordinal pronouns in S23.2 for "second" and "first."
b. Preview the texts and dialogue in L22.3-5, noting
the feminine plural endings. If you want to sound like
Zaid's tribe, the Ait Wahi, you should apply their special
assimilation rule: nt- n: , when you pronounce words
like iut n tmt:ut:, or msl:amnt
c. Compare the way Bugz:a refers to the women in the two
narratives, as noted in L22.5.
d. An example occurs in the cultural notes, of a ma-
clause acting as a noun phrase. See S31.2 and find-the
example. Form this sentence with it: "Each one of you
will remember from where he brought the medicine."
e. Set the projector on slide 161; turn it on for Band 2.

phrase given twice, with pauses for repetition. Choose
a role to play. or repeat all parts. Follow along in the
book if you wish. (The text is in L21.5)
When Bugzo:a asks how the lambs are, .s:u answers
(ith a common idiom for "not too good" -- 6wi uxla-s:.
As:u is from Ait Wahi -- you can tell by the way he drops
the initial t of nouns after the n-genitive. Actually he
just lets the n absorb (or assimilate) the t so that for
example £ ra n-tixsi becomes £ ra n: ixsi.
