*''Ear chew side.'' "I live here." > ''Ear tie not chew side.'' "I do not live here." / ''Ear tien't chew side.'' "I don't live here."

*''Se ~~sups~~.'' "He ~~sleeps~~." > ''~~Tolls~~ se ~~sup~~?'' "Does he ~~sleep~~?"

*''Se mulls.'' "He speaks." > ''Ties se mull?'' "Does he speak?"

*''She ~~oats~~.'' "She eats." > ''Ho ~~tolls~~ she ~~oat~~?'' "What does she eat?"

*''She eats.'' "She eats." > ''Ho ties she eat?'' "What does she eat?"

*''They wit.'' "They see." > ''They ~~toll~~ wit.'' "They do see."
