The Glittering Caves

...evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream.

vocabulary

not mine, musa's! he has one!
so i thought i'd share some of it. i have counted about 50ish words so far, including animal noises - is that cheating? :)

apooo or abooo - spoon
psss! - please
ahdo - aajo (come here)
dudhu - doodh (milk) (this is the one i hear most often)
joo - juice
ree - read
appoh - apple
akhi - makhee (fly) (that's aspirated "k", not "kha")
daah - dog (that was his first word!)
aukaa - our car, but i think he uses it just to mean "car"
anda - anda (egg)
buh - bird
ba - bath
wawa - water
nuh - nurse
uh oh - uh oh
beh - bread or bed, use of context clues necessary to determine which

there's a few more but that's some of it... i think he says laptop too but i can't figure out exactly how to transcribe his version.
more later...
