Excerpt from The Particles of Relation of the Isinai Language, Vol. 1

Relegating, for once, to a role of secondary importance those constituents of speech which express the substance of thought, I offer the present paper as a - contribution to our knowledge of those elements in the Indonesian - especially Philippine - languages that indicate relation, or connection, between words assembled into a sentence. The discussion is particularly aimed at the elucidation of certain sounds, and groups of sounds, which in the grammars of Philippine languages are playing a somewhat obscure role under the name of ligazones.

The general subject here indicated cannot fail to engage our interest if we consider how largely our own languages depend, for syntactical coherence, on inflection, and if we ask ourselves how these others, which we are told are noninflectional, manage to do without that means.

As for ligazones (i. e. ligatures), we may well be at a loss, upon first hearing that term, how to associate it with anything known to us from European grammar, in whose classic nomenclature it does not occur. Should these ligazones in some way make up for the missing inflection?

What the old Spanish authors on Philippine languages, who first used that term, understood by it, is best shown in the following passages from Padre Totanes. On page 5 of his Arte de la Lengua Tagala) he says (in translation):

Ligazon is some letter, or letters, added to the vocables which admit and require them for not all vocables do this and the trouble is to know which do and which do not, - in order to unite or bind them together with those that follow, thus making them as one.
