_Abūki yurēl_, is about to _sink_?
_Obaki imghi_, chooses to go down. See 50.
_Etaf_, it pours or runs freely (not the same as _eṭaf_, to seize, with

find _effid_, and also _effi_, the _d_ being pronominal.
_Tenī_, this year, = _tinēda_. With _tin_ compare Arab, _sene_, year.]

..._ ídinen wuīn degen ídeden der mézen dor áman auay tímăntēn.
[Note: _Wa_ symmed, _the_ salt. I observe that _wa_ retains the meaning
of _the_ before an adjective as well as before a participle, though it
is lost with a substantive.]
