PART FOUR: The Stockade

_MERO TETRA: U Dendro-kauli imuni-do

        16. Narrative Continued by the Doctor: How the Ship Was Abandoned

        _16. Histori; ge-dura per medika: u mode; per qi u navi pa gene lase


It was about half past one... that the two boats went ashore from the HISPANIOLA.
_Id pa es semi po mo hora, kron bi mikro navi ki a margina ab navi.

Had there been a breath of wind, we should have fallen on the six mutineers who were left aboard with us, slipped our cable, and away to sea... To complete our helplessness, down came Hunter with the news that Jim Hawkins had slipped into a boat and was gone ashore with the rest.
_Si id pa es klu mikro venti, na sio akti viole anti sixa no-reakti-an, apo sto-ru e ki ab la a mari. Honta pa ki kon info; Hokin pa ki kripto ad-in mikro navi, e ki a tera ko panto difere pe - qi pa dona plus impedi a na.

It was decided that Hunter and I should go ashore with the jolly-boat in quest of information.
_Id gene decide; Honta e mi ki a tera per ergo-navi, tende tenta gene info.

Hunter and I pulled straight in, in the direction of the stockade upon the chart. The two who were left guarding their boats seemed in a bustle at our appearance...
_Honta e mi ki direkti per moti-ru a dendro-kauli imuni-do epi carta. Bi andro; qi es la pro gardi de bi mikro navi, feno habe aktivi kausa vista de na.

This was how it was... They had clapped a stout log- house fit to hold two score of people on a pinch and loopholed for musketry on either side... The thing was
completed by a paling six feet high...
_U-ci es mode de id. Mu pa face mo dura domi ex plu dendro kauli, tende tena peri 40 homi ko no-facili. Id pa habe plu mikro fora pro plu fusili lo bi mura. U ra habe holo per mura peri se kon sixa pedi alti.

The boat was soon alongside and I aboard the schooner.
_Un ergo navi pa es lo latu de veli navi po brevi tem. Plus-co mi pa ki in id.

Hunter brought the boat round under the stern-port, and Joyce and I set to work loading her with powder tins, muskets, bags of biscuits, kegs of pork, a cask of cognac, and my invaluable medicine chest.
_Honta pa moti ergo navi infra poste porta. Plus-co Jois e mi proto akti ergo, tem moti in id plu: stani teka ko explode pulve, fusili, saka ko sika pani, kilindra ko sui karni, boteli ko vini, e fo-valu medika teka de mi.

The squire and the captain stayed on deck, and the latter hailed the coxswain...
_U proprie-pe e navi cefa pa ki ad alti pedi-lo. U cefa pa dice saluta ad ergo-pe cefa.

"Mr. Hands," he said... "If any one of you six make a signal of any description, that man's dead."
_An pa dice, "Andro Han, si ali mo ex vi akti signa ex panto speci, u-la andro fu lose bio."

Joyce and I got out through the stern-port, and we made for shore again as fast as oars could take us.
_Jois e mi pa ki ex poste porta. Po-co na ki re a tera tali tako de na posi ki per bi moti-ru.

We had soon touched land in the same place as before and set to provision the block house... I, with all my power, sculled back to the HISPANIOLA.
_Na pa ki a tera lo iso loka de pre tem, e proto moti panto-ra in dendro-kauli domi. Mi per holo resista moti ergo navi versi veli navi.

Voices were heard faintly halloaing in the direction of the two gigs... it warned our party to be off.
_Na pa audi plu tele voka proxi bi mikro navi. Id dona monito a panto na de ki ab la.

"Now, men," said he, "do you hear me?"
_ U navi cefa pa dice, "Panto ergo-pe, qe, vi pote audi mi?"

"Gray," resumed Mr. Smollett, a little louder, "I am leaving this ship, and I order you to follow your captain..."
Andro Smolet du dice per ma mega soni, "Gre, mi ki ab u-ci navi, e dona komanda a tu; ki ko navi cefa de tu!"

And the next moment he and the captain had dropped aboard of us, and we had shoved off and given way.
_An e navi cefa pa ki ad infra in ergo navi po minuta. Po-co na ki ab la per tako.

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. Plus-co plu lingua-logi-pe gene info; u meso-numera verba-fa de dice-pe de ali lingua habe proxi 1000 verba in id. 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 2026-06-12) 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...
