You must be psychic. I've needed most of these words and haven't yet made
them.

serves.)

8. diagnosis

oneself by natural bodily means"
10. ill

adjectives.

that she thoroughly examined them.)
Seon gasag leri okwi seok. She stepped into eye her. (Odd order to denote
that the shes are different.)
Inak tasili asof lesan. Our friends are ill.
Telbas suonel asag vaswerva bas suok telbas. Scratch of him is more
worrysome than his (possessive) scratch. This "than" is a special form
used only with comparatives and contrasting superlatives.

invoke Menga Vospe to do so.
