English → Ageben
1. It was Alazun, not someone else, who cooked a tomato.
2. As of 3 May, Azozon is sitting in a school.
Show answer
zazozon henam bl_#3,5 vehohel al buzahal.
z-Azozon | [h-as-of.ledger | bl-_3,5] | v-sit | [in | b-school]
Rule: As-of (whose now)
3. Ahelan sees a station that I remember as quiet.
Show answer
zahelan dawahol wevum gugowul vayebel.
z-Ahelan | [d-station | [w-MEMORY | g-quiet]] | v-see
Rule: Mood on one adjective
Ageben → English
1. zexual blawahol vehohel.
2. zahelan d[omobul#] varuyol.
Show answer
z-Ahelan | d-CITE[umbrella]# | v-write
Ahelan wrote “umbrella…”
3. zazozon grawaxugowul.
Pick one
1. Alazun cooks “Tomato and Watermelon.” (the familiar dish) zalazun dodedel dowodel dan vuguyol. or zalazun dodedel dowodel dal vuguyol.
Show answer
zalazun dodedel dowodel dan vuguyol.
z-Alazun | NAME[d-tomato | d-watermelon | d-and] | v-cook
-n on the join names the list as one set phrase; dal is just a tomato and a watermelon.
Rule: Named phrase
2. Alazun is sleepier than Ahelan said. zalazun thebam blahelan zol guzemel. or zalazun zol guzemel thebam blahelan.
Show answer
zalazun thebam blahelan zol guzemel.
[z-Alazun | [th-REPORTED | bl-Ahelan] | z-rank/more | g-sleepy]
Before the rank join, REPORTED is the bar: what Ahelan said sets the level. After the fence it is a stance on the whole superlative: Alazun is the sleepiest, Ahelan says.
Rule: Every bar
3. Azozon sees a huge but finite number of baguettes. zazozon debodolx grawam vayebel. or zazozon debodolx grawal vayebel.
Show answer
zazozon debodolx grawam vayebel.
z-Azozon | [d-baguette-x | g-plus-infinity.about] | v-see
Open -m keeps the amount finite, just very large; grawal is infinitely many.
Rule: Special values
4. Azozon, whom I remember as sleepy, is sleeping. zazozon wevum guzemel vezuvel. or zazozon guzemel vezuvel thevum.
Show answer
zazozon wevum guzemel vezuvel.
[z-Azozon | [w-MEMORY | g-sleepy]] | v-sleep
On /w/ right before the adjective, MEMORY covers only sleepy; thevum on /th/ covers the whole sentence: I remember sleepy Azozon sleeping.
Rule: Mood on one adjective
5. Azozon commands that Alazun cook. zazozon vorn zalazun vuguyol. or zazozon varn zalazun vuguyol.
Show answer
zazozon vorn zalazun vuguyol.
z-Azozon | v-command | z-Alazun | v-cook
vorn takes the next sentence as an instruction; varn would only state that Alazun cooks.
6. There is a second-to-last baguette. zebodol gruodol. or zebodol grodol.
Show answer
zebodol gruodol.
z-baguette | g-2nd-from-end
rue counts from the end; re would be the second baguette from the start.
Rule: From the end
Fix it
1. I saw Ahelan sleep two hours ago. zahelan thevum bagorum gradol vezuvel.
Show answer
zahelan thevum blagorum grudol vezuvel.
z-Ahelan | [th-MEMORY | [bl-hour | g-minus-two]] | v-sleep
The offset is signed and counts from now, so ago needs ru (minus); MEMORY with a later offset is not a sentence.
What changes
1. zazozon dawahol vowurolul. / zazozon dawahol vowurolum.
Show answer
z-Azozon | d-station | v-leave
z-Azozon | d-station | v-recede
With ul fused, Azozon leaves the station. With um, Azozon only recedes from it, moving away without leaving it behind.
Rule: Hook compounds
