Sellamat prients !
 
Ed in sambahsa-mundialect: 
 
Sont tri daunets: id prest est quan id corpos zawehrct; id dwot est quan id nayv est yisto do id grabh; id trit est tod moment, sem tid in id future, quando tieno nam est bahn ye id senst ker. 
 
Recently I've added a new translation in the file section of the sambahsa-mundialect Google group; it's a detective story taking place at the end of the XIX° century in England "id villa im Yowrleings" (the villa of ghosts).. I'm aware that all of you in this list are not acquainted with Sambahsa, but this is precisely an opportunity to see how a text in Sambahsa looks like:

In Kerno, of a slightly elevated register:

Zaliont en trino y Vorantès:
'n uno couándo dormies la teva corpos
'm bino couándo doan-ponionteor ils ram li Meir
'n trino couándo n' ara-recanteor pepil le teu nom.

Literally, they go by threes, Lady Death:
the one when dies your body
the other when are set the oars to the West
the third when never anew is sung a peep thy name.
