The question is on phonology. Candidates were required to give two words each that has the same syllable structure in (a) above , and to show the tone mark on the words and their plural form in (b).
Thus:
(a) (ii) - CVC = tem : ‘cook’ ben : ‘carry’
(iii) - CVVC = naam : ‘intoxicate’ yeem : ‘search/look for’
(iv) - CVVCV = deeme : ‘share’ seeme : ‘lament’
(v) - CVCCV = d?ppe : ‘lift’ bakka : ‘divide’
(b) (i) - wk : ‘tear’ wk : ‘be plenty/multiply’
(ii) - dp : ‘rain’ dép : ‘buy’
(iii) - bàk : ‘disect/be early’ bák : ‘be cheap’
(iv) - ?bù : ‘to be rotten’ òbû : ‘crayfish’ óbû : ‘dust’
- - ùkó : ‘valour’ úko´ : ‘yonder’
Few candidates attempted the question and their performance was poor.
