Pluto-ma Nesia 25

 25. I Strike the Jolly Roger

        _25. Mi apo signi-te Alegro Rojer


I lost no time, crawled back along the bowsprit, and tumbled head foremost on the deck.
_Mi ne pa lose tem, ki per manu e poda per horizo dendro, e akti kade ko kefa ad ante a navi tegu.

There were the two watchmen, sure enough: red-cap on his back, as stiff as a handspike... Israel Hands propped against the bulwarks...
_Bi tena-pe pa es la, sura: Rubi kefa-ve, dorsa a pedi-lo, morta, e Israel Han, ge-klina a latu mura de navi.

Israel Hands turned partly round and with a low moan...
_Han pa akti mikro tropo ko mikro algo soni.

Said I, "I've come aboard to take possession of this ship, Mr. Hands; and you'll please regard me as your captain until further notice."
_Mi pa dice, "Mi ki a ci, tende gene proprie de u-ci navi, andro Han. Plus-co tu fu este a fu-tem info; mi es navi cefa de tu."

I ran to the colour lines, handed down their cursed black flag, and chucked it overboard.
_Mi pa ki per dromo a signi-te fi-fa, moti mali melano signi-te de mu ad infra per manu, e bali id trans navi mura ad-in mari.

He began... "Who's to sail this ship, I don't see... Now, look here, you gives me food and drink and a old scarf or ankecher to tie my wound up, you do, and I'll tell you how to tail her..."
_An proto dice, "Qo-pe fu akti direkti de u-ci navi - mi ne este logi. Sti logi, si tu dona vora-ma e bibe-ma a mi, plus paleo kola-ve alo textili, tende sti sani vulne de mi, po-kron mi fu dice a tu mode de akti direkti de id."

Says I... "I mean to get into North Inlet and beach her quietly there."
_Mi pa dice: "Mi este tende; ki a Nordi In-lo, e moti navi ad-epi mari margina la."

I lashed the tiller and went below to my own chest, where I got a soft silk handkerchief of my mother's... Hands bound up the great bleeding stab he had received in the thigh...
Mi pa akti fixa de direkti-ru, e ki ad infra a teka de se; ex qi mi gene u moli marsu-te de fe-parenta. Han pa akti tegu de mega hema vulne; an pa gene in poda.

Soon we were past the high lands and bowling beside low, sandy country...
_Mikro po-kron na pa es ultra alti tera, e ki proxi basi arena tera.

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...
