8. At the Sign of the Spy-glass

_8. Lo Signi de Tele-Skope-ru


The squire gave me a note addressed to John Silver, at the sign of the Spy-glass...
_U Proprie-pe pa dona a mi u nota; ge-nomina a Jon Silva lo signi de Tele-Skope-ru.

It was a bright enough little place of entertainment.
_Id pa es alegro e mikro loka; qi dona hedo.

A man came out of a side room, and at a glance I was sure he must be Long John. His left leg was cut off close by the hip, and under the left shoulder he carried a crutch, which he managed with wonderful dexterity...
_Un andro pa ki ex latu kamera. Mi pa este per vide mo; an es Alti Jon. U levo poda de an pa gene apo proxi koxa. An pa habe auxi-baci infra levo skapa; per qi an akti ko sti-mira tekno.

I knew what a buccaneer was like--a very different creature, according to me, from this clean and pleasant-tempered landlord.
_Mi pa este logi; u mari klepto-pe es qo - mi pa este; forti difere bio-ra de u-la puri e alegro proprie-pe.

"Mr. Silver, sir?" I asked, holding out the note.
_Mi dice u qestio, tem dona nota, "Andro Silva?"

"Oh!" said he, quite loud, and offering his hand. "I see. You are our new cabin-boy...
_An dice mega soni e dona manu, "O, mi este logi. Tu es neo cefa-ka ju-an."

One of the others who was nearest the door leaped up and started in pursuit.
_Mo ex plu difere andro; qi es proxi porta, pa ki tako ab sedi, e proto ki per dromo ex la.

"Oh," I cried, "stop him! It's Black Dog!"
_Mi dice per mega voka, "O, sto an! Id es Melano Kani!"

"I don't care two coppers who he is," cried Silver. "But he hasn't paid his score..."
_Silva dice per mega soni, "Mi ne dona bi centi-unita pro logi; an es qo-pe. Anti-co an ne reakti pro debi."

Said I, "Has Mr. Trelawney not told you of the buccaneers? He was one of them."
_Mi dice, "Qe, andro Treloni ne pa dice tu de plu mari klepto-pe? An es mo ex mu."

"No, I don't know the name, not I. Yet I kind of think I've--yes, I've seen the swab. He used to come here with a blind beggar, he used.
_"No, mi ne este logi de nomina, ne mi. Anti-co mi posi este memo; mi - Ja, mi pa vide u-la pe. An pa more ki a ci ko ze-vide pove-an, an pa ki.

"I'll put on my old cockerel hat, and step along of you to Cap'n Trelawney, and report this here affair.
_"Mi fu gene paleo pina kefa-ve, e ki para tu a navi-cefa Treloni, e dice ad an de u-ci ra."

When we got to the inn, the squire and Dr. Livesey were seated together...
_Kron na ki ad-in viagia-pe-do, u proprie-pe e medika Treloni habe bi sedi para alelo.

Long John told the story from first to last...
Alti Jon pa dice histori de na ab proto a fini.

After he had been complimented, Long John took up his crutch and departed.
Po-kron an gene plu boni dice, Alti Jon pa gene auxi-baci, e ki ab la.

Says squire, "Take your hat,
Hawkins, and we'll see the ship."
_U proprie-pe dice, "Gene kefa-ve de tu, Hokin. Na fu vide navi de na."

Glosa 1000

 Why 1000 words? _1000 verba qo-te? Language instructors have found that when language learners reach the level of having a 1000 word vocabulary, they are able to have simple conversations in the language. Linguists have also observed that the average daily vocabulary of a speaker, no matter which language they speak, consists of about 1000 words. Therefore 1000 words seem to be the logically sized vocabulary for a constructed international language. _Plu lingua dona-sko-pe pa detekti; kron plu xeno-lingua gene-sko-pe gene u tekno de 1000 numera verba-fa, mu pote dice per simpli mode ko plu plus homi de u-la lingua.

Kausa-co 1000 verba feno es u ge-puta numera verba-fa pro ge-face inter-natio lingua.

Glosa 1000 Words with Explanations

(Last update 2026-03-17) If you cannot find a word in this list, you really do not need another word. For instance, there is no word for "desk" in this list. Oh, no! Is the language deficient? Is there some kind of limbo here? Instead of inventing or adding a new word, just say what the word means. What is a desk? A piece of furniture you write on. Therefore grafo-mo, "write-furniture," is the word for "desk."  Sometimes an entire phrase may be necessary to state what you mean. "Department store" can be expressed as u mega boteka ko poli difere ra . That is just the way it goes with a language with a small vocabulary! After you say it like this once, you can usually say u boteka , and people will know what you mean. You need to get out of the habit of thinking that one meaning (MY meaning, which is better than anyone else's meaning) should have one word. In all languages the meaning of words varies. The first step in learning Glosa 1000 is ge...
