eg.erse viot.lu         us.dvalder.et
1sg.see lake.over_there your.forest.near

eg.elt.as   ob.viot.et,   eg.erse.ye.et    us.viot.
1sg.be.when my.lake.near, 1sg.see.?.almost your.lake.

now i have no idea what 'ye' means...

ird.li       ob.en.erse.ku.
2sg?.over_there 1sg_obj?.NEG.see.over_here.

'ob' seems to be the same as in 'obviotet', if it is some 1sg pronoun,
why is the object prefixed to the verb here and not the subject?
