Schleicher's Fable in Proto-North Semitic

Hak-kʰabłu wa-hap-pʰarašū

Kʰabłum, ðū lahu lā hawiya tłamrum, yarʔi pʰarašīm: yagrur ʔaħadum minhumū markʰabatʰam þakūlam, wa-yaħmil ʔaħadum ħimlam gadālam, wa-yaħmil mahīram aħadum ʔināšam. Wa-yaʔmar hak-kʰabłu: Marra lī hal-libbu, bi-riʔāyatʰī ʔināšam rākʰibam pʰarašīm. Wa-yaʔmarū hap-pʰarašū: Šamaʕ hak-kʰabła! Marra lanā hal-libbu, bi-riʔāyatʰinā ðā: ʔināšum hab-baʕlu yaʕāłiyu lahu malbašatʰam ħamīmatʰam min tłamri hak-kʰabłī. Wa-lā li-hak-kʰabłi tłamrum. Bi-šimāʕi hak-kʰabłi ðā, yabraħ ʔila hał-ładiyi.
