Corpus:Snippets/0006

• Inspired by the usage example in the Collaborative International Dictionary of English definition at dictionary:five.
• In Tovasala, the modern-day sense of English virgin translates to soamonde (lit., a person who has never made love); in the context of this King James passage, it means "an unmarried woman" per Strong's #3933 (cf. modern-day English bachelorette).
• Tovasala's term for modern-day lamps (luzeande) is substituted here by mekèle per Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers:

Which took their lamps.--Better, torches, as the word is rendered in John 18:3. These were of tow, steeped in oil and fastened to the end of sticks.

• This excerpt provides an example of Verb-subject-object outside questions and optative statements in Tovasala, wherein the ergative must be marked on Kualduzemile. This helps to preserve the style of the original English and Greek.

• King James Version (1611), Matthew 25:1-2:

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
