Pluto-ma Nesia 20

 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.
_U navi cefa pa dice, "Si tu habe ali ra pro dice, andro, dice id."

Resumed Silver, "Here it is. You give us the chart to get the treasure by... and then I'll give you my affy-davy, upon my word of honour, to clap you somewhere safe ashore."
_Silva pa dice, "Id es ci: Vi dona carta a na; per qi na fu gene pluto-ma. Po-co mi fu dona certifi de promise de honora a vi, pro lase imuni vi a loka epi tera."

Said the captain, "Now you'll hear me. If you'll come up one by one, unarmed, I'll engage to clap you all in irons and take you home to a fair trial...
_U navi cefa pa dice, "Kron-ci tu audi mi. Si vi ki a mi mo po mo minus pafili, mi fu tena vi per plu katena, e moti vi versi, tende habe justi tribuna."

"Before an hour's out, I'll stove in your old block house..."
_Silva pa dice, "Mi fu akti destru dendro-kauli domi de vi, ante mo horo ne habe dura."

He stumbled off, ploughed down the sand, was helped across the stockade...
_An pa ki ko no-facili trans arena, e gene auxi trans mura.

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.

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...
