In Itláni:

"Ránti gadanóva ruvyáru, parayára djúr gavízhe idaóva kiinóva vemyáru ú
parayáta, ralán ár véy ralán lá!"

"Ránti gadanóva ruvyáru, parayára djúr gavízhe idaóva kiinóva
(When a word      I say,       means     it      exactly  that      which)

vemyáru ú parayáta, ralán ár véy ralán lá!"
(i want    that   it mean, no amount more and no amount less!")
