[Thanks Sid, I feel the cold of England as I read your story of Robert. When I lived in England, I didn’t go further north than London, so didn’t get the North Sea wind on my skin. But your few lines are causing my temperature to fall. If I were Robert, I also, would go south to visit Betty. And this, especially during Winter.]

(habe eko = have home [live in]; viagia = travel [go]; ma = more [further]; venti ex u Boreo Mari = wind from the North Sea [North Sea wind]; oligo line = few lines <line in both English and Glosa is a “countable” thus ~oligo~ is read as a #numerator# forcing ~line~ into the plural>; gene meio = get less [fall]; ki ad u sud = go to the south [go south])
