25189. Expressions of indefinite quantity are used in this way: Silà y nagtakbúhan naŋ wala ŋ hintòʾ. They ran without stopping. This construction is in rivalry with that of conjunctive attribution (§ [146]).
190. The demonstrative pronouns and the interrogative pronoun 30anò are not used as attributes of manner; for this value they have separate derivatives: ganitò, ganiyàn, gayòn or ganoòn, and gaáno or gáno. These forms, moreover, occur also as static predicates and as conjunctive attributes of quality: aŋ báwat sumagòt naŋ ganitò every one who answered in this way; this could be 35viewed also as an instrumental object. Ganitò aŋ kalàgáyan nilà. Their condition was like this. aŋ ganitò ŋ maŋa paglalaròʾ such games as this; Ganyàn ba lámaŋ aŋ kínis mo? Is your skill merely like that? Nakàsúlat akò kay Hwàn naŋ gayòn dahilàn sa malakì ko ŋ pagkagálit. I came to write like that (or such things, cf. 40instrumental object) to Juan through my great anger. Ganoòn aŋ áki ŋ pagkárinìg. That was the way (i. e. the form in which) I heard the thing. Aŋ gayù ŋ pananalitàʾ that manner of speaking, that expression. gánu ŋ pagpílit? how much effort? Gaáno aŋ pagkakagalìt nila? How great, how serious is their quarrel? (Cf. § [96]).
191. A special case of the disjunctive attribute of manner is the repetition of a word as its own disjunctive modifier, expressing 5continuity or insistence of action: Humábà naŋ humábaʾ. It grew longer and longer. Aŋ kanila ŋ báon ay umuntí naŋ umuntìʾ. Their provisions grew less and less. Si Hwàn ay táwa naŋ táwa. Juan laughs and laughs. Bilì naŋ bilì si Hwàn naŋ pálay. Juan keeps buying rice.
10192. (7) Disjunctive attributes of time express the time when of an occurrence in the past. They differ from other disjunctive attributes in being often loosely joined, in which case they may precede. Pumaroòn sila naŋ hápon. They went there in the afternoon. So: naŋ umága in the morning, noò ŋ tagáraw 15(naŋ taò ŋ míle-nobisyèntos-dòs) in the summer (of the year 1902). Naŋ umulàn ay ginámit ko aŋ kapóte. When it rained I used my rain-coat. Nàlákad sina Pédro naŋ hindì óras. Pedro and his party had to start at a time not planned; literally: when not time.
20193. Complete predications as disjunctive attributes of time are common. It is as though the whole predication were objectivized: Naŋ dumatìŋ ako doòn ay sya y walá na. When I arrived there he was already gone. Noo ŋ sya y bágo ŋ táo pa lámaŋ.... When he was still but a young man....
25194. Anaphorically determined disjunctive attributes are often omitted. Íbig nya ŋ kánin aŋ súhaʾ. Desired by-him that be-eaten (by-him) the grape-fruit, i. e. He wants to eat the grape-fruit. Naŋhiŋí sya sa kanya ŋ maŋa kapatìd. He asked his brothers and sisters (for some). Hindí nila sya binigyàn. He was 30not given (any) by them, They did not give him any.

196. In this construction initial si is replaced by kay (atonic), sinà by kinà (pretonic), and aŋ by sa (atonic); object expressions which begin with none of these particles take sa: Si Pédro ay galìt kay Hwàn. Pedro is angry at Juan. Nakitúluy 40kamì kina Pédro. We asked hospitality of Pedro’s family. Syà y nanáog sa báhay. He came out of his house. sa boo ŋ báyan in the whole town.
Rarely both sa and kay precede a personal name: Itò y nàtúto sa kay Mayèstro ŋ Hwàn. This one got his training from 5Teacher Juan. aŋ pagkàbúhay naŋ médiko sa kay Hwàn the doctor’s saving of Juan’s life.
