Discussions of verbal extensions can be found in several different works, of which Mali (1979), Fagerberg-Diallo (1984), Amott (1970), SyUa (1982), and Zubko (1980) were referred to in working on this compilation. 2. Amott (1970; 333-370) and SyUa (1982: 115-120) give more extensive teatments of the topic of verbal extensions with particular reference respectively to the Gombe and Futa Toro dialects. 3. Mali (1979:10) also gives -tin4 . Fagerberg-DiaUo (l984(Part 1):307) also gives -ootir-. Another variant is -indir5 . Seydou (1987:58) describes this extension as a suffix used to derive verbs from certain adjectival roots (bal- I bawlude. nay- I naywude. ran- / rawnude. wol- I wowlude). As Arnott (1970:339) notes, however, it is not an active or productive suffix in the way that the others above are. 656 1. On discute les extensions verbales dans plusieurs ouvrages dont Mali (1979). Fagerberg-Diallo (1984), Amott (1970), Bidaud et Prost (1982), Sylla (1982) et Zubko (1980) que nous avons eonsultcs pour Ie present lexique. 2. Amott (1970:333-370) and Sylla (1982: 115-120) traitent in extenso Ie sujet des extensions verbales et se rapportent respectivement aux dialectes de Gomre et de Fouta Toro. 3. Mali (1979: 10) donne aussi -tin-. 4. Fagerberg-Diallo (1984, Partie 1:3(7) donne aussi -ootir-. Un autre variant possibl:: est -indir-. 5. Seydou (1987:58) dccrit cette extension comme un suffixe "servant gcncralcment 11 constituer des verbaux 11 partir de racine, originellement adjectivales" (bal- I bawlude. nay- I naywude. ran-I rawnude. wol- I wowlude)_ Mais, comme Ie note Amott (1970:339), ce n'cst pas un .suffixe actif ou productif comme lcs autre, mentionncs plus haul. ...
