<br>
Sai ?????, thiudans unsar gaggith huzd bigitan; skalks is swarith,<br>
thatei thiudanis seinis hilpith.<br>
<br>
Lo ????, our king goes to find treasure; his servant swears that he<br>
will help his king.<br>
<br>
The idiom to "give an oath" is used at Mt 5:33 to mean "fulfill an<br>
oath" (iş usgibais fraujin aişans şeinans), rather than swear an oath.<br>
The verb 'hilpan' takes a genitive object. When the possessor is the<br>
subject of the sentence, the reflexive possessive adjective 'sein-' is<br>
used.<br>
<br>
> Agar eis farand weis saiand akran jah itand milith, hlaits ja swein.<br>
<br>
Afar thatei usiddjedun, weis saiam akrans jah milith itam jah hlaif<br>
jah swein.<br>
<br>
After they have gone, we sow the fields and eat honey and bread and pork.<br>
<br>
> Afar 80 dagos barn meina saihwan thiudans skip jah qith: ¡°thiudan <br>

<br>
Afar ahtau tiguns dage barna meina saihwand thiudanis skip jah<br>
qithand: "thiudans qimith aftra."<br>
<br>
After 80 days, my children see the king's ship and say: "the king is<br>
coming back."<br>
<br>
Or: 'barn mein' "my child" ... 'saihwith' "sees" ... 'jah qithith'<br>
"and says" ...<br>
<br>
> Is sitith ana sitls jah gibith skalks is gulth. Tho gulth skeinand <br>

<br>
Is sitith ana sitla jah skalka seinamma gibith gulth. Thata gulth<br>
skeinith swe liuhath { maurginis (of morning), uhtwons (of dawn),<br>
urrunsis (sunrise, the east) }.<br>
<br>
He sits on his throne and gives gold to his servant. That gold shines<br>
like the light of morning/dawn/<wbr>sunrise.<br>
<br>
> Akai mith thamma gulth qamith maurthr ja sair.<br>
<br>
Akei mith thamma gultha qam maurthr jah sair.<br>
<br>
But with the gold came murder and pain.<br>
<br>
> Afar 7 dagos qam thata draka. Liuhath is gibith unsa rigis.<br>
<br>
Afar sibun dagans qam draka. Liuhath is briggith riqis unsis.<br>
<br>
After seven days, the/a dragon came. Its light brings darkness to us.<br>
<br>
(Probably no demonstrative/<wbr>article at the first mention of the dragon.)<br>
<br>
> Is <br>
> brimmith baurg unsam ja maurthis barna unsam.<br>
<br>
Is gabranneith baurg unsara jah barna unsara maurthreith.<br>
<br>
It burns our town and murders our children.<br>
<br>
(The strong verb 'brinnan' would be intransitive = "to burn" in the<br>
sense of "to be on fire".)<br>
<br>
> Thiudan unsara gaggith weihan thama draka.<br>
<br>
Thiudans unsar gaggith weihan du thamma drakin.<br>
<br>
Our king goes to fight the dragon.<br>
<br>
(The idiom is attested at I Cor 15:32.)<br>
<br>
> Is swarith: ¡°andizuh ik <br>
> wil kill thama draka aiththau diwan.<br>
<br>
Swarith: "Andizuh drakan { afslaha, gadauthja, usqima, usqistja,<br>
fraqistja } aiththau { gaswilta, gadauthna }."<br>
<br>
He swears: "Either I will kill the dragon, or I will die."<br>
<br>
Alternatively, for "either ... or", you could have 'jabai ...<br>
aiththau'. If you chose 'usqima', 'usqistja' or 'fraqistja' for "I<br>
will kill", you can optionally have a dative object: drakin; these<br>
three verbs govern either dative or accusative with no difference in<br>
meaning.<br>
