M. I. I have been told that a porter beat the headman in 

 camp. 2. Tell the soldier to get hold of the porter and beat him. 

 3. I do not know if I am liked by my people, but I think so. 4. My 

 boy says that he has seen a rhinoceros kill the hartebeest. 5. Tell 

 the gun bearer that five porters ran away. 6, It is bad to be 

 beaten by this severe man. 7. The big river is not far from camp, 

 it is very near. Sir. 8. Do your work very carefully now. 9. Come 

 quickly (plur.) and help the headman in his tent right away. 10. 

 Behold the water under the lion skin, it is exceedingly bad. ii. 

 These porters are very lazy, they do not want to do their work well. 

 12. Do you want to shoot the big animals? Yes, truly, I want

 arrive at the big trees at the foot of the mountain over there? 15. 

 Oh, no, Sir, the road is very far, perhaps we will reach (it) to-

 outside the house in the water? 17. Mabruki does not know, I 

 will go out and see. Sir, 18. Formerly you did your work well, 

 but now, poorly. 19. Either you are very lazy or you are not well, 

 I do not know. 20. Neither I and my wife nor the porters know 

 the road there. 21. Come here in order that I may tell you what 

 you shall do now. 22. I have told him many times that he is bad,

 25. Both the elephant and rhino are very big animals, and they 

 are exceedingly fierce.
