Schleicher's Fable in Proto-North Semitic

Han-kʰabłu wa-han-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-yakūl han-kʰabłu: Marra lī han-libbu, bi-riʔāyatʰī ʔināšam rākʰibam pʰarašīm. Wa-yakūlū han-pʰarašū: Šamaʕ han-kʰabła! Marra lanā han-libbu, bi-riʔāyatʰinā ðā: ʔināšum han-baʕlu yaʕłiyu lahu malbašatʰam ħamīmatʰam min tłamri han-kʰabłī. Wa-lā li-han-kʰabłi tłamrum. Bi-šimāʕi han-kʰabłi ðā, yabraħ ʔila han-ładiyi.
