comprar, v1; maeoiney, excl. Domavus-mi il comprar yan pluma new et-s-ce teinte. Buyus il merchaunds mi "maeoiney!"; hos modd, comprasi-els. The peddlar kept shouting "you! buy this!"; so, I bought them.

Ne, speck, pass, punt, pepil, outh, nien, bril, click, cuech, om, jot, pick, point, sild, mech, non, puiyns, nonck, rhen, riz. Those are just the one's I know about. Y veneor ke n' ast bril ce yan andevista o diarchista o tory loquista! Tory loquista = right wing kook. And to give equal time: trots / snory dondon = SNORist weirdo, Laveor bongo = Labour bozo, Il Idiota = Jowan Prestow, well known political hack whose usual answers to questions is "Ke?", "Errrr" and "s'ncli'". [This last is terrible Kerno (though reminiscent of French agglutinativity) for "ne savem click = I don't know"; but at least it's sort of disyllabic, and Prestow doesn't do well with such long utterances.] Oh, yes. "Bril" and "click" are negative particles used with verbs concerning mental activities of some sort. Cool. That one gave rise to a score of new religious words. To say nothing of all the political words...

nitener, v2. Mais, ieo nitendría lâ, non contrastant y rhisq. non contrastant y rhisq = risks notwithstanding.
