I searched Wikipedia for {bi'o} (I'm the shepherd of the bi'iga'os and I'm 
looking for usage examples) and found this sentence and am having a bit of 
trouble understanding it. As I found it, it was {ko'e cu se banta'a co cabna 
lo tolci'o berdo'obau}, which means "it [Old English] was language-spoken to 
at the same time as Old Norse", but as {tavla} has a place for a language, 
and languages are not people spoken to, I'm not sure what {banta'a} is 
supposed to mean.
