EVA:
[kchedy kary ... okeey qokar shy kchedy qotar shedy]
Germanic reading system:
"[t]iecə tarə ... deeə nar [s+i]ə tiecə mar [sh]ecə"
Middle English (all attested spellings):
"thiese thare ... dei navr sie[n], thiese mar shece[n]"
Middle English more common spellings:
"thiese thare ... thei never sien, thiese mor shaken"
modern English translation:
"these there ... they never sink, these more float"
Note: JKP, the [-n]'s on the plural verb forms are for thee, since I woot thou must hate to see them without the [-n]'s like a poor knave's common 16th century Early Modern English plural verb forms. But to be frank I mot admit I cannot clearly identify final [-n]'s -- at all -- in this system of reading the characters/units, since EVA [q] marks all nasal sounds and it is only vord-initial, navr vord-final. The only solution would to be to treat EVA [y] as an all-encompassing abbreviation marker, which can represent "-en" in these plural verb forms, but simply "-e" in other forms in this line and elsewhere.
