In Canotaea:
Oronte! Iledi libialun sdraiu ileda mordai ome,
y on mandalar aema rordynda-manda y shulynda
osese.
Whew! Thanks for the excersize.
oronte = look, peer, behold, 2nd pers sing (plural = oronsete)
libiale = sister (biale = brother) pl. -e > -un
iledi = ile (the) + di (from) -- inflecting the article signfies a class
noun (iledi libialun = the Sisterhood)
sdraiu = dark
morda = grave, pl. -i (not concept of eternal hellfire. Ileda mordai "of
the Grave" signifies the common grave of mankind.)
ome = I am, from inf. ond
mandalar = hand (lit. "maker")
aema = my, mine
rordynda-manda = war (from rordynd "slaughter, murder" + -a (the verb
becomes a noun) and mand "make" + -a. lit "_The_ slaughter-making."
Usually -a nouns signify fundamental concepts. See below.)
shulynda = Death, from shulynd "die"
osese = they are
