Holub 1, mrtvojezična

Textbook of a dead language

This is a boy.
This is a girl.

The boy has a dog.
The girl has a cat.

What colour is the dog?
What colour is the cat?

The boy and the girl
are playing with a ball.

Where is the ball rolling?

Where is the boy buried?
Where is the girl buried?

Read
and translate
into every silence and every language!

Write
where you yourselves
are buried!
