(A link to all posts in this mini-series.)
Rules:
- I won’t do a lot of explaining.
- You don’t have to be able to read the Chinuk Pipa original text, but I’ll show it to you. You can learn to read it as your Chinook Jargon gets stronger & stronger.
- Learn this:
Klunas klaksta man mamuk pu iaka pi mash
‘God knows which person shot him and tossed’iaka itluil kopa stim kar oihat; pi stim
‘his body on the train tracks, so then the’kar kuli kopa iaka; pi iaka itluil chako kanawi
‘train ran over him; and his body got all’tlimin.
‘smashed up.’
