Indo-European Poem

Hest sem hner gwheiwt kom hurutkoses
Was one man lived with bears
There was a man who lived with bears

Lewdos sekt ghouroti prayhurutkos
People had fear of bear-friend
The people feared this friend of bears

Nement heluds kwe pehio
Given beer and drink
Free beer and ale and the best mead too

Kwe prayhurutkos hesti prayhnero
And bear-friend is man-friend
And the friend of bears is your friend too

Drakomhurutkos hest mreghu
Runs-with-bears was short
Bear-runner stood not yet that tall

Kwe hest meym
And was small
From shoulder to shoulder he was quite small

Drakomhurutkos gneht
Run-with-bears knew
But bear-runner knew, as many did not

Hurutkos prayti mehitey mego
Bears like honey much
That bears like honey; they like it a lot.
