Muli ti lesi ga enggau

besi bar! nya ti nga- 
sok iya tau pulai ari 
tandang nguang. 
Nama ti depeniti ti 
besi bari tu, ga masai 
enggau najar diri di 
kaki kuta lelang ? 
Angkat me unggal, 
umbas alai nangkap 
dajap badas nyingap

At once were there seen 
numerous legs to be

sharp chopper all folded

the water, Fish are thus speedily stupified and fall a prey to the spear or net.
