Pluto-ma Nesia 21

         21. The Attack

        _21. U Milita


An hour passed away.
_Mo horo pa gene usa.

Suddenly Joyce whipped up his musket and fired. 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 smoke... Cries and confusion, the flashes and reports of pistol-shots, and one loud groan rang in my ears.
_U domi pa gene ple per fumi. Plu voka e konfusi, plu soni e foto ex plu manu fusili, e mo voka de algo pa gene soni in oti de mi.

And yet, in this breath of time, the fight was over and the victory was ours.
_Po-kron u-la mikro spira-tem, u milita pa gene fini. U vikto pa es de na.

Nothing remained of the attacking party but the five who had fallen, four on the inside and one on the outside of the palisade.
_Nuli-ra ex viole grega habe resta, exklude penta; qi pa lose bio, tetra in, e mo extra mura.

Joyce... shot through the head...
_Jois pa gene buleta per kefa.

"The captain's wounded," said Mr. Trelawney.
_Andro Treloni pa dice, "U navi cefa habe vulne."

The mutineers were soon only eight in number, for the man shot by Mr. Trelawney on board the schooner died that same evening of his wound.
Plu no-reakti-pe pa es okto simpli per numera, kausa u-la andro; anti qi andro Treloni pa akti fusili, morta kausa vulne tem vespera de u-la di.

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...
