One of these things…

Here is a picture of my cat:

Cat in the line with flowerpots — One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn’t belong. Can you tell me which thing is not like the others by the time I finish my song?

That sounds like a translation challenge! In Kenda Soro:

ŋiri: ŋiri; PL

koyonda: koyo=nda; this=SRC

idiridu: idiri=du; others=GOAL

naravu.: nara=vu; one=NOT

One of these is not like the others.

ŋiri: ŋiri; PL

koyonda: koyo=nda; this=SRC

kozos: kozo=s; here=LOC

nara: nara; one

ŋodose.: ŋodo=se; wrong=STAY

One of these is wrongly here.

ŋiri: ŋiri; PL

koyonda: koyo=nda; this=SRC

idiridu: idiri=du; others=GOAL

naravuza: nara=vu=za; one=NOT=PATH

evihi: e=vi=hi; 3PL.IN=OUT=POT

Can be told which one is not like the others

zimivito: zimi=vi=to; music=OUT=STOP

tileya?: tileya; before

before the music stops?
