"Resumé" by Dorothy Parker

BlankI found this unfinished in my Drafts folder and didn't want to delete
it-- it dates from July 20 2002, IIRC it didn't get much play first time
around......

Kash:

lica ahar
vori çuçap
suwihis nahan
nokrat irit
ambak trambu
cimbrak kutrap
coyuk çahu--
cayipo kayi

Literally:
cut hurt / river damp / sharp-water eat / poison twist / gun forbidden /
rope stretch / methane stink / have to-just live

Phonetic:
['litSa'?axar / 'Bori'SuSap / 'swixis'naxan / 'nokrat'?irit / 'amba?'trambu
/ 'tSimbra?'kutrap / 'tSoju?'Sa_U / 'tSa_Ipo'ka_I]
(a_U, a_I are supposed to be diphthongs; "suwihis" should properly be 3
syllables)
