*kwid ag'is? Esmi koryos. Gwheno' rktons wlkwonskwe me'i' agwesomi (dialectal: *agwisobhi)

Thanks

Any questions - please send exact ones, for me to answer in particular. Unfortunately my time is nowadays too limited to explain everything - I'm sure there is much here you need no explanation about.

Best wishes,
