My Sea Adventure

22. How My Sea Adventure Began

        _22. U Mode; per qi u viagia de mi proto es


As for the captain, his wounds were grievous indeed, but not dangerous.
_De navi cefa, plu vulne de an pa habe veri severi, anti ne risko.

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.

I took the first step towards my escapade and filled both pockets of my coat with biscuit.
_Mi pa akti mero mo pro gene fugi, e face ple bi marsu de tunika per plu mikro pani.

I laid hold of was a brace of pistols...
_Seqe-kron mi pa gene bi manu fusili.

I was to go down the sandy spit that divides the anchorage on the east from the open sea, find the white rock I had observed last evening, and ascertain whether it was there or not that Ben Gunn had hidden his boat...
_Mi pa-fu debi ki epi arena steno-lo; qi akti divide de sto-ru loka lo esti ab mega mari, detekti leuko petro; qi mi pa vide kron pa-di vespera, e face sura; si Gon pa akti kripti de mikro navi lo la, alo ne pa akti.

I made a bolt for it over the stockade and into the thickest of the trees...
_Mi pa akti dromo trans mura, kron nuli-pe vide, e in maxi densi loka ex plu dendro.

Thinking I was now got far enough to the south, I took the cover of some thick bushes and crept warily up to the ridge of the spit.
_Tem este; mi habe sati tele a sudi, mi pa gene kripti per plu densi mikro dendro, e ki kura ad kresta de steno-lo.

The white rock... it took me a goodish while to get up with it, crawling, often on all fours, among the scrub... In the centre of the dell, sure enough, a little tent of goat-skins...
_Id pa nece mega tem, pro mi ki a leuko petro, tem ki freqe per braki e poda artri inter plu rugo planta. Id pa es sura mikro te-do ex plu kapri derma lo meso de basi-lo.

And there was Ben Gunn's boat... a rude, lop-sided framework of tough wood, and stretched upon that a covering of goat-skin...
_Plus-co u mikro navi ex Gon pa es la - u rugo, no-plati skeleto ex sklero dendro-ma; epi qi plu kapri derma pa gene tensio.

In the meantime I had taken another notion... This was to slip out under cover of the night, cut the HISPANIOLA adrift, and let her go ashore where she fancied.
_Mi pa gene plus idea. U-la ra es; ki kripti tem skoto de noktu, akti seka de fi-fa de navi HISPANIOLA, e lase; id ki a mari margina per acide.

I came to the edge of the retreating water, and wading a little way in, with some strength and dexterity, set my coracle, keel downwards, on the surface.
_Mi pa ki a margina de aqa; qi gene ab-flu. Mi pa ki ad-in aqa mikro tele. Mi pa moti mikro navi per resista e tekno epi facia de aqa.

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 2026-06-03) 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...
