Pluto-ma Nesia 32

 32. The Treasure-hunt--The Voice Among the Trees

        _32. U Cerka de pluto-ma - u voka inter plu dendro


The whole party sat down as soon as they had gained the brow of the ascent.
_Un holo grega pa gene sedi, po-kron mu pa ki a margina de akro de monti.

Silver, as he sat, took certain bearings with his compass.
_Silba tem sedi pa gene plu certa metri per nordi-me.

"There are three 'tall trees'" said he...
_An pa dice, "Tri 'alti dendro' es la."

"I don't feel sharp, "growled Morgan. "Thinkin' o' Flint..."
Margan pa dice, "Mi ne este hedo tem plu idea de Flinti."

All of a sudden, out of the middle of the trees in front of us, a thin, high, trembling voice struck up the well-known air and words:
_U voka - debili, alti-freqe, e tremulo - komen kanta per plu boni ge-ski verba subito ex meso de plu dendro ante na:

     "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest--
      Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
      _"Mo-penta epi teka de morta-an -
       Jo-ho-ho e u botilia ko rum*!"
         
"It's Flint..." cried Merry.
_Meri pa dice fo-soni: "Id es Flinti!"

The song had stopped as suddenly as it began...
_U kanta sto dice tali subito de; id pa komen.

Still Silver was unconquered.
_Kron-la Silva pa du este koragi.

"Shipmates," he cried, "I'm here to get that stuff, and I'll not be beat by man or devil... There's seven hundred thousand pound not a quarter of a mile from here..."
_An pa dice fo-soni, "Panto navi ami, mi es ci tende gene plu-la ra. Id es septi-centi-kilo unita; qi es simpli mo-su-tetra unita ab ci."

The thought of the money, as they drew nearer, swallowed up their previous terrors.
_Un idea de valuta pa sto este de fobo ex mu, tem mu ki ma proxi.

"Huzza, mates, all together!" shouted Merry; and the foremost broke into a run.
_Meri pa dice fo-soni, "Koragi, panto ami, pro alelo! Po-co an pa sti ki per dromo.

And suddenly, not ten yards further, we beheld them stop.
_Po-co na pa vide proxi deka braki-unita; mu pa sto ki.

Before us was a great excavation, not very recent...
_U mega ge-fosi loka es ante na. Id ne habe forti neo.

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.

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...
