: “Watches” and “clocks” are both called [õçûË.
: This adjective should be used only to describe “oldness” in a thing and not a per-
son. To say that a person is old, use the noun ì'õç÷È'Ë “old person,” or a verbal expression,
ìõç÷ËČçßûàf, “to be aged.”
: When µßç, an adverb meaning “more,” modifies an adjective, it adds a comparative
meaning. For instance, µßçûû means “better,” and µßçÆõÔÔËöû means “bigger.”
