    I shall make her farms become bush
    which the wild animals shall eat.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “I will destroy her grapevines and fig trees.
    Things about which she said, these are the wages given by my lovers,
    And I will make these trees into a forest,
    and wild animals will eat them.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I will-ruin her grape plants and fig trees which she said were-paid for her by her lovers/[lit. men]. I will-make its fields into a densely-over-grown-with-long-grass-and-shrubs forest, and its fruits will-be-eaten by wild animals.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
