Kiki ya mite we Tunu. Xaki wo Tunu ya kanu. Tunu ya xaki we nuxo texa xuka wo xaro rari. Ye tepa wa kamo tara xuka wo Tunu ya xuri we poto wo kiki. I used some tricky patches to get around some missing words in your lexicon. The grammar is... well... I don't know. I took notes in order not to forget what I tried to say and the interlinears look obvious and self-explanatory. Your task is to (try to) translate back in English and to explain what I got wrong. kiki ya xuka we mani poxe wi pawame yu nopo we noko, ;-) -- ================== Remi Villatel maxilys_@_tele2.fr ==================
