pa-, mag-, -an

to go down; to go under; to come down; to get off; to come out.

When someone is coming out of a building which is on stilts, or when is getting off a bus, which of course is higher than the ground, pareyoh is used. However in English, the direction "down" is not used, just "come out", or "get off" is sufficient.

Pareyoh kow?

Will you go down?

Ley magdeyoan na baanan anak iskul.

The group of school children are coming out of school now.

The kids are getting out of school now.

3.

magma-

to humble someone or oneself; to lower oneself; to make humble.

This affixation is relatively rare. It appears to be a reflexive, something one does to oneself. The +-ma- is interpreted as causer focus, the mag- is distributive, active voice, subject/actor focus.

Bang kow mbal hungun makakandah lengog, subey kow magmareyoh.

If you don't want to be able to see trouble, you should make [yourself] humble.
