Sile Degod Sa

     In other words "Religion in Dega."
     Since I keep saying it's either going to be a long time until I post on Dega or more recently I probably won't post at all I thought I might as well put up the rest of the creation story in Dega.

Rom - Dolate arari isan duntod te lin dolate okoda ko isisa ko odoni.
Zor - Dolatase riz odolati zanad ko serad ko ikuzad te, ta teduse ogor odoni.
Min - Zunatase aradani ogor Duntod zu donod kit ki kulatase ogor arari.
Det - Kulatase ozoni ko eseri dortod zu zor ri ki kidatase ogor dortod zu zor isi ri ko kulate kikuzi raterod ri.
Dast - Natede ozoni eta kit kulate ogor enakala.
Gol - Keate ozoni “kidasus olo kulotatod etes ri ko kulasus olo kikuzod gu zu nase ete kulo enakala” eserod da.
Tul - Kidate eseri zu tede ogor lilo ozoni re.
Kat - Late ozoni lilinzani ekaŋ rum keate ozoni “magasus olo rarozi do zu nase ete kulo god etel ri.” eserod da.
Sut - Ta sedate eseri “natede ozoni isiz” rum zumate eseri isisa kulo arari meg kulo tatod ozonos ri rum natede ozoni ilo.
Kur - Zumate eseri okoda sizo isisa meg.
Kit - Zumate ozoni adana kulo isisa meg, ta gagate isu ozoni “nase adana sizi” zu ted adana leze isisod re, ta natede adan isiz, ko manenate isu ogor ozoni.
Rotak - Rum natede ikuzi eku, ko natede okoda idira, ko natede zona lelig sera re.

Note: things that one thinks and knows are written in quotation marks like speech.
I am also going to put up my complete dictionary on the dictionary page and the grammar in a new grammar page. So if there is a word that you do not recognize you should be able to find in there.

Ara

     Ra means name.
     The Okoda do not give names the same way most people do on Earth. Here most often, if not all of the time names are given to a child at some point in their life whether it be when they're just born or when they're ten, but they have a set name all of their life that everyone calls them. The Okoda mostly rely on what are essentially nicknames. Everyone who knows a person has their own name for them. Most often the name is something that describes the named person in some way or is related to the conditions that they first met. Names also must have the prefix tem- appended to them which comes directly from the gerundive of "to be." So someone who makes languages--which I imagine you who are reading this probably do--might be called temzumotat-e/-u meg degod - tem- = name (being), -zumo- = to build, -tat- = gerund(ive), -e/-u = gender; meg = with the purpose of/for; deg- = language, -od = ablative.
      This has been a relatively short post, because this language is now definitely going to change alot, and not only the pronunciation, the grammar is going to move away from these very Latin-like (latinoid?) nouns, but I think most of the rest is fine and can be tweaked to fit its parent language. 
     I may start posting what I have with Zhor and Úlán Nésiv instead of Dega, so I'm not just wasting my time with something that is bound to greatly change.
