anīla
Line 7 of the Kēlen Jabberwocky:
il jīla þō ñi macāppacāe matāλisse rā xō rā jamēþena jaxēla kiē;
(See Nov 7th’s post for an introduction.)
anīla is “time”. The singular jīla is “a piece of time” or a “moment”. il jīla þō is “during that piece of time” or “at that moment”. ñi macāppacāe matāλisse rā xō is “mercurial/impatient macāppacāe came/went to there”. rā jamēþena jaxēla kiē I will discuss tomorrow.

In the afternoon, the circular lizards did gyre and gimble around the shadow-stick.
The easily-annoyed thin-winged bird-spiders were annoyed.
The lost chicken-pigs make cough-cries!
Beware macāppacāe, its biting teeth, its many catching claws,
the frumious makīmaþālen, the macūcū bird
Be away from them.
For 1/8th of a day, he searched for his enemy, a deadly blade in his hand.
Therefore, leaning and still, he thought under the jasātsātena.
At that moment, mercurial macāppacāe came to there…
