 1. to bequeath-rumasir /rum+vasir/ 'cause to inherit'

My father bequeathed me an education

amami me yarumasir atengayani

properly for atrengaya (dropped -r- because of preceding -r), irreg. <
sarengaya 'lead-know' = educate; for some reason it wants to be definite
(-ni)

He also left me a pittance (= barely a "dollar")

lavi-lavini me yarumasir napi taruna mes

moreover.....               barely "dollar" one


3. usurp/steal/connive to get-hiçikiçip 'to plot, conspire' < hiçip 'whisper
'

My brother usurped my estates.

yahicikiçip mambremi vara nanjul çombalami

(since hiçikiçip implies several people, I suppose we need a word for "plot
by an individual")


4. stable-pumbik 'animal shed' ("little house")

I am forced to sleep in the barn.

ikratita re maçisu ri pumbik

Technically, humans aren't worth anything, but a horse is worth a good deal.

Lusongi ambilani, kaçe ta yale molani, lopa mowa niya yamola

Acc'g   thought-his, person/dat not there-is value-of it, lopa but/however

have been cakavolap)
