I Rusco ar i Corco

Aesopo Nyarna

I Rusco yalúme céne i Corco avíla aldanna as vanya corna tyur péyasse. I Corco harne olbanna; i Rusco vantane nu i alda, amatíre i Corconna ar quente lisse ómanen:
"Aiya, Héri Corco, tárion antára! Ma vanima nalye síra, ma morne quesselyar, ma silme hendulya! Sio savin i ómalya arya falmarindion linde. Ai, nai lastuvan anamirya lindalelya tenn' effíruvanye!"
I Corco súma quantane lissi quettaron Rusco, latyane péya ar ferenye lire - mal i tyur lanante hó péya, téra epe i Rusco i leptanes lintie. I Corco né naica.
"Mára ná." eque i Rusco. "Rá tyurelya antan lyen ñóle: avalye save i *meluquetyaron quettar naiti."

*meluquetya: adj., n., "sweet-speaking person, flatterer" modeled on _melumatya_ PE17:202

Yes, Master Reynard, but I do not think I implied that the Fox is a female in the translation:) The Crow is.
