ma—, A prefix forming adjectives in three ways, namely:

1) by simple attachment to the root, e.g. mahágpok—crisp; malínaw—calm; matahúm—beautiful. (cf. hágpok, línaw, tahúm).

2) by adding also the suffix—on, e.g. malalíson—disobedient; malimóton—forgetful; mapigusón—oppressing. (cf. lális, límot, pígus).

3) by superadding the particle "in" which is placed before the first vowel of the root, e.g. malinapáson—omitting, neglecting the performance of; mabinalák-on—careful, concerned, interested; matinipígon—preserving, saving, guarding. (cf. lápas, balákà, típig).

1) adjectives, e.g. kibúlon, kíblon from kíbul; dugoón from dugô, etc. maluyagón from lúyag; matinahúron from táhud, etc. (cf. ma—,—in—).

2) nouns, e.g. kapisanón from písan; kalaparón from lápad, etc. etc. N.B. The difference between the simple ka—forms and the ka——on—forms lies in this that the former denote abstract nouns and can be used also for the formation of an exclamatory superlative that corresponds in meaning to the English "How——!", whilst the latter denote nouns in the concrete or as applied to a particular case, e.g. Kalápad siníng palangúmhan! How large this farm is! Ang kalaparón siníng palangúmhan kapín sa tátlo ka ektárea. The size (extent) of this farm is more than three hectares. (cf. ka—,—an).
