 33. The Fall of a Cheftain

        _33. U Fali de Cefa


"Jim," he whispered, "... stand by for trouble."
_An pa dice no-soni, "Jim, kura de no-facili."

I could not forbear whispering, "So you've changed sides again."
_Mi ne pote sto dice no-soni, "Seqe-co tu pa akti re kambio de plu ami."

At last Merry seemed to think a speech might help matters.
_Fini-kron Meri pa feno este; u dice fu sti auxi de panto-ra.

"Mates," says he, "there's two of them alone there; one's the old cripple that brought us all here and blundered us down to this; the other's that cub that I mean to have the heart of. Now, mates--"
_An pa dice, "Plu ami, bi mu es solo la. Mo es mo-poda-pe; qi pa sti; panto na ki a ci, e face plu tali ero; qi sti; na ki ad u-ci ra. U pe bi es u-la ju-an; ex qi mi volu habe kardia ex an. Nu-tem, plu ami - "

But just then--crack! crack! crack!-- three musket-shots flashed out of the thicket. Merry tumbled head foremost into the excavation; the man with the bandage... lay dead... The other three turned and ran for it with all their might.
_Kron-la - krak! krak! krak! - tri soni ex pafili dona foto ex densi planta-lo. Meri gene kade ko kefa ad ante ad-in fosi-lo. Un andro ko kefa vulne habe morta epi tera. Tri difere resta andro ki per dromo per holo resista.

Ben, in his long, lonely wanderings about the island, had found the skeleton... he had found the treasure; he had dug it up... he had carried it on his back, in many weary journeys, from the foot of the tall pine to a cave...
_Gon pre pa detekti u-la skeleto tem plu vaga kine peri nesia. An pa detekti pluto-ma. An pa moti id epi dorsa ab basi de alti konifera a kavita in lito, tem poli sti-fatiga kine.

We had reached the gigs... and then we all got aboard...
_Na pa ki a bi mikro navi. Po-co panto na ki in mu.

A gentle slope ran up from the beach to the entrance of the cave. At the top, the squire met us.
_U mikro klina pa es ab oceani margina ad in-lo de kavita. U proprie-pe dice saluta a na lo akro.

"John Silver," he said, "you're a prodigious villain and imposter--a monstrous imposter, sir. I am told I am not to prosecute you..."
_An pa dice, "Jon Silva, tu es mega krimi-pe e falsi-pe - u mega falsi-pe, andro. Mi es ge-dice; ne akti puni de tu."

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...
