Subject: broken phone, notes/commentary from Nora

Nora wrote these notes separately from the passed-on translation, and I
presume wants them passed to you for integration in the final discussion.


The police succeed because they want to.
loi pulji cu snada mu'i lenu ri djica le nu snada

It nearly believes that I am a good behaver.
.i py. piso'amei birti jinvi le du'u mi xamgu tarti
* I presume that the "it" is the police?? *

I feel very relaxed.
.i mi cinmo le ka mutce surla

Continualy, the fact of its continually sit-speaking to the ordinaries is
happily replying to me.
* not a clue *
literal: .ica'obo le du'u py. ranji ke zutse tavla le fadni cu gleki spuda mi
maybe: .i mi gleki spuda ca'o le nu py joi lei fadni cu zutse casnu

But, for a long time, I sense that blood is draining from my face.
.iku'i mi zu ganse le li'i le ciblu cu rinci le flira
* but I suspect: .ibazubo ku'i mi lifri le nu le ciblu cu rinci le flira *

And I want it to go away.
* I'm presuming "it" is the police, not the blood or blood-draining *
.ije mi djica le nu py. cliva

I feel pain in the head and sense the noise-oscillations.
.i mi cortu le stedu gi'e ganse le savru nu desku

I am anxious; it continually sits and talks.
.i mi xanka .ije ranji le nu zutse gi'e tavla

What the noise-oscillations sense is increasing.
.i le se ganse be le savru nu desku cu zenba
* I suspect: .i mi ganse le nu le savru nu slilu cy zenba

I act seriously, flowingly speaking to its wasteful departure.
* departure of the blood? *
.i mi junri gasnu le nu flecu tavla le festi nuncliva be le ciblu

But that which is sensed survives and increases.
.iku'i le se ganse cu renvi gi'e zenba

I, on being born, sense by means of my things which are not really ears.
.i mi co'i le nu jbena cu ganse fi lo na'e kerlo
