[Anian tcani # 59, in Talarian] wellani-han, na-pumis-he ni-xatam-hap. mountain-on, no-place-and downward-go-away-from 3. [Kerno saying] y lepeores dew meiyoer quy lepeors yen. the rabits two better than-the rabbit one Padraic. ===== la cieurgeourea provoer mal trasfu ast meiyoer ke la cieurgeourea andrext ben trasfu. -- There was a musician named Packett, who'd had it, he just couldn't hack it; he stood with care on a cane backed chair, and impaled himself on a rackett. -- Come visit Ill Bethisad! -- <http://www.geocities.com/elemtilas/ill_bethisad/> .
