O ɨvate yae vae Babel pe

- Oyakavo reta yave kuaraɨ oëa kotɨ güi, oväe reta chupe metei ñuu kavi ɨvɨ Sinar jee vae pe, jare joko pe oñemoëta reta.
- Jayave jei reta oyoupe: “Yayapo ladrillo jare yamboyɨ tata pe.” Jare jökorai ikavi yae chupe reta ladrillo, ita jekovia pe, jare mbae ipomoasɨ ɨvɨ yasuru rami vae oiporu reta tuyuapo jekovia pe.
