“Bali bambali bâwe na lubaga lwâwe wêne wacungulaga n’obuhashe bwâwe bw’Ogala-byoshi”. 
“Mâshi Nyakasane, okurhwiri kwâwe kuyumve omusengero gwa mwambali wâwe n’omusengero gw’abandi bambali bâwe barhînya izîno lyâwe. Mâshi Yâgirwa, ojire mwambali wâwe abone iragi ene, ababalirwe n’oyo muntu! Ago mango erhi nie cirhanza-mamvu omu bwâmi.”»
