That one's not too hard. Just needs some mixing and matching. I must
admit that I was almost tripped up by the "n-" prefix for past tense. I
didn't read the wordlist as closely as I should have and almost missed
out on its significance.

I enjoy these kinds of exercises. Since I have never taken formal
liguistics courses, most of what I know is gleaned from books and from
my experience studying foreign languages; German, Russian, a little
French, and a very little Hebrew (when I was 12 and in Hebrew school
(bleach! I still have nightmares!)). I've read a book each on Gaelic,
Classical Latin, and Swahili.

So, please continue posting small exercises like this, they hone
everyone's skills.
