In Modern Jovian:


 > 1. to record
 > The priests record a separate history.

I saerdodes nodan an histoera seobrada.
[i zEr'do:dz 'no:d@n @n iS'tAjr zE'bra:d]



 > 2. archive
 > Their temples are vast archives.

Sua timbla son tablaera immindsa.
[su 'dimb@l sAn t@'blajr im'mindz]



 > 3. scribe
 > They employ many scribes.

Emblojen muodi crifturs.
[em'blo:j@ 'mu@di 'grift@rs]

Note: |Emblojer| is a loan from French.  Hmmm.  I shouldn't
       borrow that many words.  Jovian needs more original
       word creations!  =P



 > 4. ink
 > The ink has lead in it.

Ja tinta condine plumbun.
[j@ 'dint kAn'di:n 'plumb@]



 > 5. insane
 > The scribes tend to go insane after a few years.

I crifturs glinan criscer indsani pox nis anni.
[i 'grift@rs 'gli:n@ 'griSk@r in'dza:ni pAS niz 'anni]



 > 6. to replace
 > The priests manage to replace the crazy scribes.

I saerdodes poessen perwudare eos crifturs indsani.
[i zEr'do:dS 'pass@ bervu'da:r ES 'krift@rz in'dza:ni]



 > 7. to pay
 > They must pay them a lot of money.

Muessen paher is muoda guena.
[myss@ 'ba:h@r i mu@d hy@n]



 > 8. rich
 > The church is quite rich.

Ja cleisa ix nomaele difte.
[j@ 'glejz iS nA'majl dift]

Note: |Nomaele| is from "non male".  Finally some Jovian
       invention not borrowed from French or German!



 > 9. to write
 > I write neatly.

Crivo clarei.
['kri:vA 'kla:re]



 > 10. job
 > Perhaps I could get a job as a scribe.

For gau ciber muoner mou criftur.
[fAr go 'gi:b@r 'mu@n@r mow 'grift@r]
