soxibes zidrak zok

(Ye'an) tu'axlanlef mes yarik yengad?

Tu'axlanlef as yasud sesabac.

Notes:  
1)  As in Latejami, the past-perfect (ye'an) is the default verb tense and is not required in most cases.  I am not sure this is the best default, but it works okay.

2) I seem to have lost the classifier for anaphora, formerly "ru-".  Here I use "a-" with the part-of-speech marker "-s".  Lack of a modifier in "as" equates to lack of a modifier in "mes", its referent.

3) I like to put the stress on the penultimate syllable.  This is not a fixed rule, and I'm still experimenting with various stress patterns.  I'd like the language to have an intonation that keeps it from sounding monotonous.
