to have, to own = ufalu = "verb owned abstraction"
horse = ykepebo = "noun strong warm animal"
to buy = ujeti = "verb gained trade"

I have found all these words in the dictionary:
Ygyde dictionary: http://www.medianet.pl/~andrew/ygyde/ygyded.htm

There are more words in the main file:
http://www.medianet.pl/~andrew/ygyde/ygyde.htm
and grammar file:
http://www.medianet.pl/~andrew/ygyde/ygydeg.htm

The words "another and other" are pronouns, and
yet they are not in the grammar file. This is clearly
an omission. I have just added them to the grammar
file - I hope Patrick Hassel-Zein will approve it.

imu = another, imi = other

The verb "become" is also missing in the dictionary.
I have just invented it:
to become = ucolu = "verb changing abstraction"

By the way, I am not happy with the existing translation
texts. I believe they should be much longer and pertaining
to the modern world.
