Notes
Plurals may not be marked consistently, except in pronouns.
By default, dative objects come after accusative objects. To change this, di can be used.
Dodellian uses serial verb constructions.
After the particle a (used as a relativizer), a verb must immediately follow; a-clauses use ergative syntax, with the particle ta as the ergative particle.
Translation
We give thee thanks for giving us the land on which we dwell.
Through thought, deed and toil we come and offer ourselves to thee.
Prithee accept and be pleased, we pray, with this mediocre work of our hands,
and let wealth increase throughout the nation, our home!
After the flow of sweat, call forth sweet rain;
bless this urgent work, and grant harvest plenty!
