and unfortunately ::(( wrong. |kyec| should be |tec kir|; otherwise, I'm the
one seen. Probably having both |tec| indicating visual evidence and |kir|
denoting k-person is unnecessary.

same for the one below.

Here's another one one hopes is better:

je-kiny zaomo, damec kir?
[ZE.cIJ zao.mo dA.mES cIR]
"Did you say youi saw a woman?"
je=ki-ny za-omo, dam-ec ki-r?
*ze= ki-ni za-uma, dama-esi ki-ru
Int= k-Don Cat-say, woman-see k-Beh
