In Classical Arithide that would turn up as (in any order as preferred):
"Ismíg/é lud/ón kódh/ou óssir."
last.ADV be-defeated.FP enemy.TOP death.ESS
Where acute accents stand in place of macrons, ADV is "adverb", FP is
"future participle", TOP is "topical case" and ESS "essive case".
Slashes indicate lexeme boundaries.
In Modern Arithide that would be:
"Ism/é lod/ae anaza ou ós hé."
last.ADV be-defeated.FUT enemy TOP death COP
Where FUT is "future tense", and COP is "copula".
In Tannaean:
"Hoott/is/oia köttakakk/oll/oo teikö sebenö sa."
back.SUP.ADV defeat.PASS.ADJ enemy death COP
Where SUP is "superlative" and PASS is "passive voice".
