In Ge'arthnuns:

Si' lu" zc,u"nsab sfen zadi'f.
Chi' gdhavi'ls si'l -- cha bzhuns,
Cha laituro"ns si'n -- che he'ths.

i' = /i/  zc, = /C<vcd>/  e' = /e/

Si' lu" Zc,u"nsab sfen zadi'f.
I-nom. transcendent-tense-marker Winter-postpositional as be-called
The task-nom. my-nom. -- the bringing-(of things)-to-a-close-nom.
The gift-nom. my-nom. -- the sleep-nom.

"Laituro"ns" is a gift from the perspective of the giver ("lait-"
denotes "up"); from the perspective of the recipient, a gift is
"kfi'nuro"ns" ("kfi'n-" denotes, quelle surprise, "down").
