Nujo melí olna hasnírrin olna terrnoph phra.
Now language-pat one word-pat.atq.pl one world-pro whole.

Ijo úrrírr nathregdús shorah, bashtí Shinararr nathwaldús nastíshús.
As men-pat past-move-3pl east-all, plain-pat Shinar-loc past-find-3pl
past-settle-3pl.

Himp bhí nathsakwús, “Helshírr abhegham, threstro abhoham.” Helshírr
empkírr naírr bholph; thirí sterrí naírr bholph.
Then they-pat past-say-3pl, “Brick-pat.pl fut-make-1.pl, thorough-dat
fut-bake-1.pl.” Brick-pat.pl stone-pat.pl no-pat.pl they-pro; mud-pat
mortar-pat no-pat they-pro.

Bhí nathsakwús, “Poljí ademham sho, phrí nah thenre narthah-terrnía; jím
klenshí ablatsham hin no astru krejkelnam.
They-pat past-say-3pl, “City-pat fut-build-1pl we-dat, it-pat with
tower-gen heaven-abl reaching; for fame-pat fut-gain-1pl and not-dat
scattering aor-want-1pl.”

Búth Lotsí nathgwamish poljoí thenroíhin úrrurrdú wio.
But the.Master-pat past-come-2s city-dat-pat tower-dat-pat-atq
man-inst-pl see-dat.

Lotsí nathsakwish, “Trodí krejgarrús thentu, bhú nah mele olnebh. Phrí
agarrús bhú, phrí ahertús.
The.Master-pat past-say-2s, “This-pat aor-able-3pl people, they-nom with
language-gen one-gen. All-pat fut-able-3pl, it-pat fut-try-3pl.

“Melí bhí akshanham, skal no bhí abneklús bhú.”
“Language-pat they-pat fut-confuse-we, so no-dat they-pat
fut-understand-3pl they.”

Skal bhí nathstrish Lotsu terrnoj phra, hin demhí polje nathkrashtús.
So they-pat past-scatter-2s the.Master world-sup whole, and building-pat
city-gen past-stop-3p.

Babhelí ohnish apolju kiodo; jím enarr melí aterrne phrebh nathkshanish

Babhel-pat pres-call-2s the.city this.dat; for there-loc language-pat

past-scatter-2s the.Master world-sup whole.


Well? Did you like it? Hate it? Does it seem rather cumbersome in one

_right_away_or_the_language_will_fail_?
