Nice sentence.
In Jovian:
|Vindun nun flante oeze ti ci tan lungei ringavas.|
["vind@n nUm"plant "AjD ti ki tam"blUNge riN"ga:v@s]
wind now blow:PTC hate:3s PER:2s:ACC REL:m:NOMs so long:ADV
reign:PST:3s
In Obrenje:
|Fecce pelev fume tize il tse dramwe macule.|
/"heCC# p@"lEv fu:m ti:Z il tS# "dramw@ ma"hu:l/
hate:3e wind:d blow:PTC now PER:2:OBJ TSE long:ADV reign:PST:2
The adjective |dranje| "long" is only applicable for timespans, not
spatial lengths.
