 18. Narrative Continued by the Doctor: End of the First Day's Fighting

        _18. Histori; ge-dura per medika: U Fini a di mo de milita


Forty paces farther we came to the edge of the wood and saw the stockade in front of us.
_Na pa ki a margina de dendro-fa po 40 gradu tele, e vide dendro-kauli mura ante se.

At the same time, seven mutineers--Job Anderson, the boatswain, at their head--appeared...
_Iso-kron seti no-reakti-pe - un ergo-pe cefa Andason ante mu - dona vista de se.

Four shots came in rather a scattering volley, but they did the business: one of the enemy actually fell...
_Na pa bali tetra buleta per trans-longi mode. Anti-co mu pa akti boni - mo ex plu non-ami pa gene kade.

At that moment a pistol cracked in the bush, a ball whistled close past my ear, and poor Tom Redruth stumbled and fell...
_Kron-la u manu fusili face soni in planta densi-ma. U buleta pa face sibila soni proxi oti de mi. Po-co sti-konsola Redrut pa lose sta e gene kade.

We were... to get the poor old gamekeeper hoisted over the stockade...
_Na pa debi gene u-la paleo kapti-an, e moti an a supra trans mura.

In the meantime the captain... climbing on the roof, he had with his own hand bent and run up the colours.
_Tem-co u navi cefa, po-kron ki a supra epi tegu, pa gene signi-te, e moti id a supra per manu de se.

Just then, with a roar and a whistle, a round-shot passed high above the roof...
_Mikro po-co u buleta ex navi fusili pa ki alti ultra tegu ko forti soni e sibila.

Said the captain. "Blaze away! You've little enough powder already..."
U navi cefa pa dice, "Face piro minus fini! Vi nu habe tro oligo explode pulve."

All through the evening they kept thundering away. Ball after ball flew over...
_Mu du akti per plu explode soni tem holo vespera. U buleta po buleta pa ki per alti supra na.

"Doctor! Squire! Captain!... is that you?" came the cries.
_U voka pa ki a na: "Medika! Proprie-pe! Navi cefa! Id habe vi?"

And I ran to the door in time to see Jim Hawkins, safe and sound...
Po-co mi pa ki tako a porta, e kron vide Hokin; imuni e sani.

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. During the heydays of Glosa, when there was a Glosa Education Organization (GEO) and several books and newsletters were published, I got to know Wendy Ashby personally. In...

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...
