The Song of Cönok

Here is a sample of verse in the Kyŧusave language:

Gunypekrukö HyCönokna

Źuvrasa hy pëlëtünaŧadypëlëtüva, ad źulaspü päkwyfä muleŧe

Mupëlöryk fuskü kaläperü, pägëra ad ëpüp vred bleŧmü

äzamü zuxule, ad muđäbö zupalatwe

Cönokna zupläx mucuđüm, ad fulëmëja muŧusnü hypëlöryk

Hyläperü muna gäp mulüjmü fupälacy munü

Vykru ön, ge pelul folyme źukwät mupëlëtüna

Cërat źupläx mupekwyfä, ad źucësku kolöŧu.

…and for those people not fluent in Kyŧusave; here it is in a fairly good English translation:

The Song of Cönok

Born to king and queen, and raised to rule the land.

Pëlöryk raised an army, to steal and loot from man.

Villages were burning, and the people bleeding.

Cönok took the challenge, attacking the pëlöryk tribes.

His army fought them back to the mountains.

When victory was near, arrow astray slays the king.

Cërat ascends the throne, which changes everything.
