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.

Sile

I realized after reviewing my post on food that I had mentioned a religious thing which I have not talked about yet. I do not know everything about the religion yet, but I can give an overview enough to explain my note at the end of the food post (FOOD POST).
     PRENOTE: The Okoda believe that special spirits live on the moon, on a second moon called the lonely moon, and on the sun. The spirits travel to Dunta in the form of light and "trade" with the plants. The spirits get energy from the plants and the plants get energy from the spirits.

The creation of humans, herbivores and carnivores

1. Only plants lived on Dunta before humans, herbivores and carnivores.
2. There also lived beings on the sun, moon and lonely moon, but they were light.
3. The spirits went to Dunta in the form of light and they ate the plants.
4. The spirits ate during half of the day and slept during the other half of the day which is when the lonely moon ate.
6. The sun spirits got hungrier and they ate more and so had more children-spirits.
7. The sun spirits said to the moon spirits: "Sleep while we eat and eat with the lonely moon for we need more to eat!"
8. The moon spirits obliged as they had much less power than the sun spirits.
9. Then the sun spirits had many more children and so they said to the moon spirits "Leave from here for we need to eat all of the day!"
10. But the moon spirits new the sun spirits had grown foolish so they worked against the sun spirits and made the herbivores to eat the plants in the time that the sun spirits eat the plants so the sun spirits became weak, and the moon spirits made the humans to govern the herbivores.
11. The sun spirits made the carnivores to eat the herbivores, but the sun spirits did not think that the carnivores needed a ruler, because the carnivores were smarter than the herbivores, but the carnivores became chaotic and ignored the commands of the sun spirits.
12. Therefore the lonely moon was no longer lonely; the humans became the guards of the moon spirits and the sun became brighter than the moon.

First sentence translation:

One -  Lived  plants only  Dunta on before lived humans and herbivores and carnivores.

Rom - Dolate  arari  isan  duntod te    lin   dolate  okoda  ko       isisa      ko     odoni.

Words to learn:

rari - N. plant

san - Adj. opposite-of-only (whatever that is)/-/only

te - Post. on

lin - Conj. before

ko - Conj. and (between nouns in a list)
sisa - N. herbivore
dani - N. carnivore
sile - N. duty of protecting the moon spirits from the sun spirits/religion
NOTE: animals are either herbivore or carnivore, there is no plain animal.

I hope this explains what I said in the food post.
