The particle ကာ is of somewhat similar import with ရို, as ရိပ်လာပြောသည်, he speaks illusively merely; ပြောကာမျှအားဖြင့်, by means of speaking merely.
The particle ချင်း, single one only, limits the time to the continuance of the action expressed, as စားစားချင်းသေသည်, (fully) စားလျှင်စားချင်းတွင်သေသည်, he died as soon as he ate it, i. e. instantly, without an interval.
The verbal formative မှန်း, from မှန် to be right, true, is used chiefly in negative sentences, as ရောက်မှန်းကိုမသိ, or ရောက်မှန်းမသိ, (he) knows not the fact of the arrival. It is sometimes used without a verbal root, as ဘူရားမှန်းမသိ။ တရားမှန်းမသိ, (he) knows nothing about God or religion.
မိ—ရာ, affixed to the root repeated, as in the phrase, နေမိနေရာနေသည်, denotes inadvertence or inconsideration.
6th. Beside verbal nouns formed from verbs used substantively, there is another kind which may be termed the honorific verbal, formed by combining the verbal root with the adjective တော်. This verbal, followed by the verb မူသည်, to do, perform, is always used instead of the simple verb, in speaking becomingly of deities, kings, or any exalted personage, as မိန့်တော်မူသည်, (the deity or king) speaks, literally, does divine or royal speaking, မိန့်တော်မမူ, he speaks not; followed by a noun, it may be regarded as a noun in the possessive, as စားတော်ကွမ်း, betel eaten by the king, ပန်တော်ပန်း, flowers used in royal adornment.
Most verbal nouns retain the same power of government as their verbs, that is, cause the preceding noun to take the same affix as their verbs do, as ဇာတ်ကိုဟောစပြုသည်, he makes a beginning of rehearsing the zat; ဇာတ်ကိုဟောတော်မူသည်, he rehearses the zat, or he does rehearsing the zat; but some, particularly the verbal in ခြင်း, govern the preceding noun in the possessive, as ဇာတ်၏ဟောခြင်း, the rehearsing of the zat.
