[conlang_learners] The three deaths

[Eugene Oh]

In Classical Arithide:
Ossirō hevē senēn. Irīgou nykos alidaksenān. Verēgou neis semonera
hemēdainān. Hevēgou min, domonus dēlānum, ismīga lor illos helaidainān.
Interlinear:

Ossirō hevē senēn.
death.TOP three.ADV have.IMPF

Irīgou nykos alidaksenān.
first(n).TOP body.NOM function.stop.PERF.PARTICIP.TEMP.ESS

Verēgou neis semonera hemēdainān.
second(n).TOP corpse.NOM grave.DAT PASS.send.PASS.PARTICIP.TEMP.ESS

Hevēgou min, domonus dēlānum, ismīge lor illos helaidainān.
third(n).TOP when, future.GEN sometime.LOC, last.ESS iteration.ESS name.NOM
PASS.utter.PASS.PARTICIP.TEMP.ESS

Where PERF = perfect aspect, PASS = passive, TEMP = temporal, ESS = essive
(also for copulation).
