galjugaljuu i djalan. ucevungi anan.
In English:
Glossary:
- galju-galju-u: walk slowly, imperative or request. The root is galju 'slow' in reduplication (RED); -u 'imperative ending requesting action from the listener only'.
- i: in or at, locative (LOC)
- djalan: road
- u-cevung-i: let us see again, imperative or plea. The root is cevung 'meet, encounter'; -i 'imperative ending requesting action from both the one speaking and the one listening'. I am not so sure about u-, but I am guessing it may be ku 'my, 1st person singular genitive' in undergoer voice (UV) for reason that I am yet to know.
- anan: still
