Exercise 8 in unit 14
Can ‘book’ be absorbed in the following phrase?
srà b wà txa.
write-fact1 book-fact-fact2.
Solution
Strictly speaking, no, because wà tx. ‘make a book’ isn’t a sub-category verb of srà b. – it can also be understood in the sense of printing and binding a book. However, absorption is possible if the meaning ‘write a book’ is clear from context.
