    Fe’u linosha bhalisushus soca.

    Literal translation: Little elephant loves plant.

    IPA: feʔu linoʃa βalisuʃus soka

  2. The gray protector makes rain fall.

    Bēkofo fogodi himnako efdidip pekē.

    Arrive-3p rain-pl make-3s protect-(thing that) gray.

    (The reason this is funny is because the verb used to describe cloud agency is “protect,” as in, clouds are protecting the divine sun/moon from the gaze of us sinful and puny mortals, and rain (which almost always takes the plural) is an honored arrival from such exalted heights. Some etymotheology for you.)
