Rihana: Hetiha: Sehahuzu 5 and 6

NOTE:  These are the Kushy Yemu versions of two texts on the death of
Blackwind.
The one on the burial is incomplete. I  intend to post later the Rihana-ye
versions which are more complete. It may be noted that the word translated "this
city"(Kushy) is the adjective form of the noun Kusha, which was the first
word in this language and the first word in my present phase of conlanging in
which the dominant language has become Rihana-ye. I recall inventing Kushy Yemu
during a bus trip, but I no longer recall where;most probably between WV and
Ohio. Originally it consisted of nothing but vocabulary lists, some of which I
still have.
