(A link to all posts in this mini-series.)
Rules:
- I won’t do a lot of explaining.

Klaska kolan, alta mokst wam, iht tanas
‘They’ve heard that, two summers ago, a young’man kopa kikuli iaka chako patlam, pi wach man tiki
‘fella downriver got drunk, and the watchman meant to’iskom iaka, pi iaka iskom stik pi iaka kakshit
‘take him in, but he took a stick and beat’wach man, pi iaka mimlus wach man.
‘the watchman, and killed him.
