Sámen kukúa ar i lisse firne;
Ar náven firnes nyérenen:
√KHOL “crow, cry aloud”
√KHEL “ice, [ᴹ√] freeze”
√KHAB “heap up, pile up”
√KE/EKE “may (be); have chance, opportunity or permission; it is open”
ᴱ√KAŊA “weave, twine”
Illi melir nandar – patare nandasse tuiles hya laires mine i ammélime felmion ná. Mal nandar yú valdie nar, yorila laimaron *raition úme i antar már píron ar *hlikkoron úven, ta yú antar mat nierin. Ente saminte enta *ompasse:i tumne nandar polir sirion luime epetai varya atanion mári. Taite nanda late ara i osto yasse harinye, ar erehtánies me rimbe lussen.
