5.a With the particles mag and man are formed substantive and adjective nouns, duplicating the first syllable of the roots, thus:

The writer.	Ang magsusulat.
The tailor.	Ang magtatahi.
The maker.	Ang magbubuhat.
The surgeon.	Ang mananambal.
The almsgiver.	Ang manlilimos.

6. With the particle pala before, are formed several substantives, as:

The drunk.	Ang palahubóg.
The tippler	Ang palainom.
The writer.	Ang palasulat.

7.a With tag before the root, are formed nouns expressing the owner of a thing, as:

The owner of the house.	Ang tagbalay.
The master of the vessel.	Ang tagsacayan.
The owner of the world.	Ang tagcalibutan.

8.a Putting this same particle before the words signifying the seasons of the year or the atmospherical changes, points out the time of these changes: and placing it before words signifying the farming-works, it shows the time of those operations. In some provinces are used also in this same sense, the particles tig and tin, thus:

Rain time.	tagolan.
Warm time.	tiginit.
Harvest time.	tagani—tinani, or tig-ani.
