Sturnan:
Thathani hedem kape anlem.
cookie-pl eat-1s.pres therefore exist-1s.pres
"Since I am eating cookies, I currently exist."
Alternately:
Im hedan thathani kape im anlan.
I eat-aorist.singular cookie-pl therefore I exist-aorist.singular
"Since I typically eat cookies, I typically exist."
I'm abusing the term 'aorist' here, I think -- what would you people
recommend for a tense describing habitual or continual actions?
