OK.  <http://cinduworld.tripod.com/contents.htm>  But greetings, I guess,
will be in the Syntax section, now being written with great difficulty,
hesitation and constant revision. Anyway:

Formal introduction to a stranger:  both say "endo te nurak" 'may there be
peace to you'.  Less formal:  "ende nurak".  Upon parting:  "endo kinunji"
'may you and I meet (sci., again); less formal "engi nunji"

Hello:  "manomo" 'I greet'; colloquial "manó:::"
Good-bye:  "kinunji", "kitikas" 'we'll see (each other)'; colloquial :
nunji, tikas; very informal "tití:::" 'bye-bye, see ya'

More or less formal situations (teacher-student, employer-employee etc.)
where you see each other every day:  "lendi lero", "lendi ondre" 'Good day,
Good evening'. Note too "lendi çeva" 'Bon Voyage!' (lit. goodness-of travel)

Moi aussi.  Math problem:  If Roger's nose is running at the rate of 2
gals.per hour, and Yoon's is running at the rate of 1.5 per hour, how many
boxes of Kleenex will they use in a day?  aargh.  I never could figure those
out......
