Test Sentences, 100

Continuing with Gary’s list:

  1. Take this note, carry it to your mother; and wait for an answer.

Hmm. Normally the first two clauses would be combined into one: “take this note to your mother”. But, since they are separated, I will keep them separated, though I am tempted to add lene ŋidi dossalɨdɛnnɛn ono ki to the end.

131. lene dɨdɛn salɨdɛn tɨŋi ŋideya ladi ŋidi dɨdɛnnɛn tɨŋi madeya ki; dossala ŋidi sɛdɛ goɬi ki.
