Re: Weekly Vocab 3

Chris-- what is the origin of the Spanish text?? "He visto cosas que no
podeís ver..." etc? It seems quite surrealistic. Orion I recognize.  What
are "C-rayos"? What is the Puerta Tannhauser? Real or con-?

Due to new computer, general unfamiliarity, and files not working quite
right, I'm restricted to existing vocab. Also, it's very difficult to
Kash-ize these names.  Jean Valjean would probably be Can Val-can; Javert
probably Caveret; here I'll just use their initials.

to steal = nanjul
1. JV stole a loaf (of bread)
JV yananjul pikandoço (piku 'loaf' andoço '~bread')

2. to arrest = lipat 'capture'
He was arrested.
ne ilipat 'they captured him' or maybe
ne cakalipat 'he got captured (in a bad way)'

3. prison = pundipat compd. puna 'house', lipat
In prison, J. disliked JV.
ri pundipat, J. yatralisam JV-e

omit 4
5. to escape = çupefa 'get free, escape', inchoative of pefa 'free, loose'
Finally, V. escaped while on a work detail.
lulusni, V. yaçupefa anju yamepu ri opor
finally  V. became-free when ye-work at outside

omit 6
7. When people cried for charity, they cried for him
anju kaçila itundo liri amowas, ine iyuhima
when people they-appeal w.r.t. charity, him/dat (emph.) the called-out-to

8. to chase = lulusok 'chase, pursue, persecute, bedevil', < lusok 'follow'
J. chased JV to his new hiding place
J yalulusok JV-e ri yumburiyeni re velu

9. disappear  = yohan
JV disappeared to do one last act of charity
JV yayohan vara mepu mesa amowas re lulus
.. he-dissapeared in-order do one kindness rel. last

10. suicide = here, nandu rungombra 'cause o.s. to die'.  There is also
_ungeça_ 'to commit suicide' but it refers to a volitional, even honorable,
act, not to a desperate act which I think would be the case with Javert.
V's kindness made J commit suicide
amowas JV-i yarumek re J nandu yarungombra
goodness JV/gen. it-caused that J him/acc-refl. cause/die

omit 11
