- Kenbena, ausa nan ka adaili afitikidin warea, eragitu ororo isibo n'auciga goba Shinar ororo mun; yumun kiana kasikwa goba ie.
- Kena abarli ajiaga l'oioci omun, Mahara bate, brick w'amurretinci, adentin ibitini n, main. Brick kiana n'amuni goba siba bia, pesi bajia cipito-koto-kwonahu bia.

- Adaieli atokoda gobate kiana adeka ibici bawhu-yuho, aiomuntu-wabu bawhu bajia, lokono sanoci amurretisia.
- Adaieli ajia goba kiana, Abaro ikirikia lokono robuin, abaro ajiahu kamunci; nai'inataga onyin toho; kena tanahu warea n'onyihitisia koro ikiado fa naurea.
