Exercise 9 Now look closely at the following list of words. Can you pair them up with the list of occupations above? You do not need to understand their meaning to do this or even be sure of how to pronounce them correctly; the important thing is to recognize how they are related. You may have to disregard prefixes or suffixes or even infixes (inserts) to recognize the shared root letters. But once you get into the habit of relating words in this way your vocabulary will expand quickly, and go far beyond the glossary at the back of this book! (But don’t worry: you will find the transliteration and all of the words in the key!) Example:
(˙)ÏÚ«Ù – ‰Ï»ÚÙ ,ÒÈ˯Π,¯˙ÒÙ, ‰«ÎÓ ,‰¯ÙÒÓ ,‰Ï»ÚÙ ¯Ú◊ ,Ô«˙ÈÚ, Á·ËÓ ,‰¯Ë÷Ó ,ÏÓ÷Á
