LYRICS:<\/strong>
\nSpeaking Swadesh
\nAn exercise in linguistic glottochronology<\/a>
\nFish grease, dry claw, feather, egg –
\nlouse-belly, knee, hand\u2026
\nBark dog! (tail what ear?)
\nThis hair know rain, smoke, ash, sand.
\nMountain cloud say cold – bite.
\nTooth and tongue eat sun.
\nEye see tree, seed, leaf, root –
\nburn the ear, eye, nose, mouth,
\nbelly, breasts, heart, liver.
\nEat yellow bird, swim; one-two\u2026
\nhear dry horn bark hot.
\nLie, sleep, die.
\nGood night. Dry moon walk black path.<\/p>\n
