Here's another text... The king and the god. I found it in two different places that offered texts in reconstructed proto-Indo-European. For the most part, I followed the version in Geoffrey Sampson's PIE FAQ, replacing the old Indic god "Varuna" with "Enäron", since that's the oldest reconstructed god name on Almea. I usually had difficulties finding a word for "pray", but on the whole, this text was easier to translate than Schleicher's tale. Enjoy!
Filipo Petrei Lebdaney
Once there was a king. He was childless. The king wanted a son. He asked his priest: "May a son be born to me!" The priest said to the king: "Pray to the god Enäron." The king approached the god Enäron. He prayed to the god. "Hear me, father Enäron!" The god Enäron came down from heaven. "What do you want?" "I want a son." "Let this be so," said the bright god Enäron. The king's wife bore a son.
