o:'e | [theme change, subject same]

a:n | fish (common)

ubu: u:bu a:n' | eaten caught fish (predatory)

*Ubu: is a word whose meaning can change based upon the Actor {ie, a fish eats, a
sheep chews, a cow works its cud, a snake swallows}, though it presumes a
stereotypical behavior -- "fish" and "motion" in a sentance with "ubu:" would
be "fish swims"...one would have to drop the ubu: & insert a different mode of
travel to make it otherwise.

Ubu: -style words:

move

eat

sound

act



another example:

a:pta | simile/?/paralel

e:mm 'og | motion, [based]-foot

u:ptu: de | coal, upon

ok pfe | [pertaining to the above/aforementioned], simmering hot

gu:lu: se'e | midday, [at the time of

TRANSLATION:

"Like walking on [hot] coals at midday"; aka, an action that seems redundant in
context {ie, like pouring a bucket of water on someone immersed in a swimming
pool, or washing a car in the rain}.

NOTE:

Had it been _og_ rather than _'og_, then it would have meant _foot_ rather than
_[based]-foot_ . . . suggesting a motion soley of the feet, such as wiggling
toes.
