(there are some, lots. there are lots who can't read. all ages there are some who can read and some who can't - musom lutoo igung. we don't know how to read, our eyes are blind - musom tuhum, musom lutoong yam. people put marks and we can say them. a few are truly blind - musom om noogul lutugee, they don't go here or there - musom lutinn. pabel om heb haga, they see snow. they confirm my mime of a blind man walking is musom tuhum)

2: 0:01:28
(someone who just eats meat? may become blind, that's what we say)

3: 0:01:44
(to see again we need to see wanbel, if we have right thinking in the village we'll see the hevi go and we'll see - musom lete heb igu. if that doesn't work we can go to the haus sik and they'll scratch our eyes and they'll get better)

4: 0:02:15
(yes god can close their vision - musom egee ta pannab igu)

5: 0:02:29
(there are people like that. one limb could be small, a leg could have died and the other is ok. going around doesn't work so they just sit and lie down. they use walking sticks and stay close, they go round like that, people with bad legs)

6: 0:03:26
(they fall from trees and break legs. they fall from houses, break hips. are some people born with bad legs? yes, a few are their mother gives birth and they have bad legs. lots fall down and break their legs. we call them mohis hot yot holot)

7: 0:04:31
(mohis umo yab ogoo igu. that's dead, that's dead, just his face is alive. his arms and legs are dead and just his eyes and mouth)

8: 0:05:44
(there are some. one arm is small one is big, they are here. guy points to his own arm and it's small. how is it small? did you break it? no it didn't break, i elbowed a tree and it went bad. i didn't fall down, it was a fence. my arm became small. if you get medicine it'll be fine, but i didn't and my arm became small. that's a good arm, that's a bad arm.)

10: 0:07:39
(if you are given medicine it will get better, if you don't then it won't and it'll get small. if you have medicine it can be strong, but if you don't it'll be weak)
