Continuing with Gary’s list:
- Between the two lofty mountains lay a fertile valley.
Between! That means a new verb: duso. And that means I have now used all 11 verbs. Yay, me!
duso means to go back and forth from one point to another. To make a path between two points, we prefix duso with alamya making alanduso. And even though the valley is not actually moving, we still use alanduso.
