some Bukisi

Since last night I've been working on a Kur-Pali pidgin I call Bukisi
("from the east"). It inherits a lot from Pali, and there's a drastic
shift in Kur's core vocabulary from a Kur phonology to an indic one.
Also, there are three vowels (a, i, u) with short and long varieties.
Also, tone is lost. The consonants are pronounced as in Hindi. I know
some (all?) of you can't see unicode, so I replaced the macrons with
circumflexes, the tildes over u and i with diareses, and the
a-macron-tilde is an a-ring.
I also wrote it down in devanagari:
