next: inseparably close; near

asawi: nearby, at a short distance. It can just be an adverb:

Code: Select all

hjaaci tawaani tawaaru asawwi
Hjaci  song    sing    nearby
Hjaci is singing nearby

More commonly, it modifies a preposition phrase:

Code: Select all

hjaaci tawaani tawaaru asawwi hu  awajakwai wati
Hjaci  song    sing    nearby ABL village   DIST(LOC)
Hjaci is singing near the village

(That doesn't cover inseparably close, for which you'd probably use ikau a X cira right at X's side, but that's not a single word and anyway I didn't just make it up.)

Next: to arrest

[Pabappa]

Next: to arrest

Poswa: pummamu, "to pull someone to a stop with the hands; to arrest"

Wappata pipebap pummabebel, wa pypiap pubbebel.
The officer arrested the thief, and bound his hands.

The word for officer is literally "night sky person", because they are out at night and most other people arent. The word for night, wappaša, is derived from this word as well.

Pabappa:
pensa "to block crime"
As usual with me, Pabappa gets the 2nd best words, as I havent put as much thought into them. This word collides with a word for "lens, glass filter" and I'm not sure which, if either, I will decide to change. But if I keep this one it's
Pisapta pol penibap pensobi, wa pobopip tibalabi.
The officer arrested the thief, and bound his hands.
