	often terminates sentences not with -ną, -že (etc.), but with -ra.
	a very heavy use of the suffix -ánąga, "and".
	žēéži žegŭánąga, "that, in any case, was thus, and", used more than once as a narrative flow expression.

The Sun	[he made a spirit-offering, and]*	he sang.	And	[this]	when it is finished,	[and]	he sits down, and	[then]	the dancing song

* the WT translation has, "raising his hand prays". The translation here has only, "he raised his hand". The word nąǧi is found so far only as a noun meaning, "spirit, ghost"; and ną́baruxác is ordinarily a noun meaning "offering". However, if ną́b repesents nąp, "hand", then the second part of the expression must be haruxac, which is found elsewhere to mean, "to harrow (a field)" rather than the required meaning of "to raise."

* hakaraísų́c appears to be a variant of hakaraízo, "to take care of one’s own properly, to take it easy on one’s own, to treat one’s own carefully" (Helmbrecht-Lehmann). Hakaraísų́c is haisų́c with the infix -kara-, meaning, "one's own". Haisų́c means, "to bring something to or toward completion; to be winning; to end a game or a sporting event; to end a song" (White Eagle).
