By good fortune, paddle as I pleased, the tide was still sweeping me down; and there lay the HISPANIOLA... _Tem mi tenta akti moti per moti-ru, plu unda pa du moti ab margina per boni okasio. U navi ISPANIOLA es la. I was alongside of her hawser and had laid hold. _Mi pa es lo tena-ru fi-fa, e tena id. I made my mind up, took out my gully, opened it with my teeth, and cut one strand after another, till the vessel swung only by two. _Mi pa akti decide, moti ex u plika seka-ru, sti aperi de id per plu denti, e akti seka de mo fi po difere fi, a-kron u navi akti oscila per simpli bi fi. All this time I had heard the sound of loud voices from the cabin... Tem-co mi pa audi plu forti soni ex bi voka ex navi-cefa kamera. One I recognized for the coxswain's, Israel Hands... The other wa...

The doctor took up his hat and pistols, girt on a cutlass, put the chart in his pocket, and with a musket over his shoulder crossed the palisade... _U medika pa gene kefa-ve e bi manu fusili, zona ko gladi, moti carta ad-in marsu, e ki trans mura ko fusili epi skapa. Gray and I were sitting together... Gre e mi akti sedi kon alelo. Replied I, "If I am right, he's going now to see Ben Gunn." Mi reakti, "Si mi habe korekti, an ki, tende vide Gon." The house being stifling hot... I began to get another thought into my head, which was not by any means so right. _Tem u-la domi habe tali termo, mi proto gene idea in kefa; qi habe korekti per nuli mode.

 Some Glosists have insisted that u(n)/plu should be deleted after prepositions. The rule is MAY be deleted (really not a rule at all). Using u(n)/plu helps to determine the number of the noun following it.  I believe the confusion came from a misunderstanding of the way Hogben deleted these words. A careful analysis of the way he deleted them shows that he deleted u(n) after prepositions and verboids, never plu . In this way, accuracy of number is preserved. Hogben never formulated this as a grammar rule. If you do not use verboids (most Glosists don't), please use u(n)/plu  after the verb to separate it from the object.  Do what YOU want, develop your own style of Glosa.

The report had scarcely died away ere it was repeated and repeated from without in a scattering volley, shot behind shot... _Jois pa moti subito fusili a supra e akti. U soni de id pa habe fini mikro simpli tem, kron plu difere fusili face soni re e re extra e a-trans imuni-lo, buleta po buleta. Suddenly, with a loud huzza, a little cloud of pirates leaped from the woods on the north side and ran straight on the stockade. _U mikro grega ex plu mari klepto-pe ko mega voka pa akti subito salta ex dendro-fa lo nordi latu, e akti dromo tako a mura. Four had made good their footing inside our defences... _Tetra ex mu pa gene es ad-in imuni loka de na. In a moment, the four pirates had swarmed up the mound and were upon us. _Po-co subito tetra-la klepto-pe pa kine a supra, e es anti na. The log-house was full of ...

 20. Silver's Embassy         _20. Un Ofere de Silva "Cap'n Silver, sir, to come on board and make terms," he shouted. _An pa dice fo-soni, "Navi cefa Silva, andro, pro ki in navi e face akorda." "My man," said Captain Smollett, "I have not the slightest desire to talk to you. If you wish to talk to me, you can come..." _Navi cefa Smolet pa dice, "Andro, mi este nuli desira de dice ko tu. Si tu volu dice ko mi, tu pote ki proxi." Then he advanced to the stockade, threw over his crutch, got a leg up, and with great vigour and skill succeeded in surmounting the fence... _Po-co Silva pa ki a mura, bali auxi baci trans id, moti mo poda de se a supra, e per mega resista e tekno moti se trans mura. He was tricked out in his best; an immense blue coat, thick with brass buttons... _An pa habe boni vesti epi se: u mega ciano toga ko poli kupra-zinka butona. "If you have anything to say, my man, better say it," said the captain....
