Well, I have to join to fray:

Kash: mamepu lum, aloni maçukale
    I-make "slurp" therefore I-exist
(lum is onomat., there's no verb form (yet-- perh. an irreg. inchoative like
çulúm??); çukale is the inchoative (çuk-) of ale 'to be' and properly means
'to come into being'; but it's used for 'exist' too.)

Descartes: mapila, aloni çukale (sounds better wthout the second ma-)
   Prevli: el kkiri kagná, pfurok laklek
   /el k-kiri ki-agná p-puru-ok lakil-k/
  (There-is thought/reasoning to-me, because-of-that  exist-I)
(no word for slurp yet.........)
