Dans un courrier dat=E9 du 30/04/99 19:53:20 , Ray a =E9crit :

In Tunu I rather use "please + not_do" :
"poti (otiwa) he-eta-nge teme ome-ho"
=3D "prayer (is that) you-move-not touch at-me"
or
"poti (otowa) ho-eme-nge teme ota-he"
=3D "prayer (is that) me-referred-no touch move_of-you"
or else
"poti (otowa) teme-nge ota-he ome-ho"
=3D "prayer (is that) touch-no move_of-you at-me"
depending on the topic.
But I guess it's pretty standard a pattern.
