Pluto-ma Nesia 14

          14. The First Blow

        _14. U Bate mo


I was so pleased at having given the slip to Long John that I began to enjoy myself and look around me with some interest on the strange land that I was in.
_Mi pa este tali hedo, kausa akti kripto ab Silva, de mi proto este laxa, e vide xeno tera peri mi per kura.

Soon I heard the very distant and low tones of a human voice, which, as I continued to give ear, grew steadily louder and nearer.
_Mi pa audi plu forti tele e mikro soni ex homi voka; qi gene ma e ma mega e proxi, tem mi du audi id.

Another voice answered, and then the first voice, which I now recognized to be Silver's...
_U difere voka pa reakti, kron u voka mo; mi este logi iso de Silva la-kron.

And at this point Tom flashed out like a hero.
_Kron Tom feno habe splendi de koragi-pe.

"And as for you, John Silver, long you've been a mate of mine, but you're mate of mine no more. If I die like a dog, I'll die in my dooty. You've killed Alan, have you? Kill me too, if you can. But I defies you."
_De tu, Jon Silva, tu pa es mega-tem ami de mi, anti ne nu-tem. Si mi lose bio homi u kani lose, mi fu lose bio per honora. Tu pa akti cide de Alan, qe? Akti cide de mi, si tu pote akti. Anti-co mi ne reakti tu."

With a cry John seized the branch of a tree, whipped the crutch out of his armpit... It struck poor Tom, point foremost, and with stunning violence, right between the shoulders in the middle of his back.
_Jon pa akti kapti de rami de dendro, e moti tako auxi-baci ab braki. An akti bate kontra sti-penite Tom, akro ad ante, inter bi skapa lo meso de dorsa.

But the murderer minded him not a whit...
_Anti-co u-la cide-pe este nuli kura.

Instantly I began to extricate myself and crawl back again, with what speed and silence I could manage, to the more open portion of the wood.
_Mi proto apo se minus atende, e ki kripto per plu genu e braki versi dendro-fa per tali tako e silento, de mi pote ki.

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.

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...
