Pluto-ma Nesia 19

19. Narrative Resumed by Jim Hawkins: The Garrison in the Stockade

        _19. Histori; ge-dura per Hokin: U Milita-lo inter dendro-kauli mura


AS soon as Ben Gunn saw the colours he came to a halt,
stopped me by the arm, and sat down.
_Kron Gon pa vide signi-te, an sto ki, e sto; mi ki, e gene sedi.

"Now," said he, "there's your friends, sure enough.
_An dice, "Plu ami de tu es la, sura.

"Why, in a place like this, where nobody puts in but gen'lemen of fortune, Silver would fly the Jolly Roger..."
_"Sti logi. Silva sio moti signi-te 'Alegro Rojer' a supra lo loka iso u-ci loka; a qi nuli-pe anti plu 'okasio-pe' ki."

I.. after a long detour to the east, crept down among the shore-side trees.
_Mi pa ki per manu e genu inter plu dendro proxi mari margina, po longi via ad esti.

The HISPANIOLA still lay where she had anchored; but, sure enough, there was the Jolly Roger--the black flag of piracy--flying from her peak.
_U navi ISPANIOLA pa es a loka; a qi id lase fixa-ru ad infra. Anti-co sura Alegro Rojer es la - u melano signi-te de mari klepto - in venti lo akro de id.

I saw, some distance further down the spit and rising from among low bushes, an isolated rock, pretty high, and peculiarly white in colour. It occurred to me that this might be the white rock of which Ben Gunn had spoken...
_Mi pa vide solo petro; qi habe alti e forti leuko kroma, lo tele de steno tera e supra plu mikro dendro. Id pa feno es a mi; u-la ra posi es leuko petra; de qi Gon pa dice.

Then I skirted among the woods until I had regained the rear, or shoreward side, of the stockade, and was soon warmly welcomed by the faithful party.
_Po-co mi pa ki kripti inter plu dendro, a-kron mi ki profito a poste, alo margina latu, de imuni-lo. Mi gene tako boni saluta ex fide grega.

I had soon told my story...
_Mi pa dice tako histori de se.

Before supper was eaten we buried old Tom in the sand...
_Na pa akti in-tera de paleo Redrut in arena.

I was dead tired... I slept like a log of wood.
_Mi habe mega fatiga. Mi pa gene dormi homo dendro-kauli.

I was wakened by a bustle and the sound of voices.
_Mi pa gene vigi per aktivi fono e fono ex plu voka.

"Flag of truce!" I heard someone say; and then, immediately after, with a cry of surprise, "Silver himself!"
_Mi pa audi; pe dice, "Signi-te de akorda!" Plus-co tako per u-la ra, "Silva auto!"

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...
