Concerning stars.
There are four types of stars.
The first type is called "the wandering one", because it travels all over the night sky.
The second type is called the "antisocial one", because it stays far from the sun.
The third type is called "the dying one" or "the falling one", because it falls to the earth.
The fourth type is called "the unknown one", because it appears very far from the sun briefly.  The sun is the cousin of this type of star.  The myth furiously causes a fire.

Sentence-by-Setence

1.)
inivie (n.) star (this has other meanings, but, to avoid confusion, this is the one we want)
po- (prefix) prefix used to indicate the genitive.  It typifies a professional, business relationship, such as a customer to a seller, business partners, employees to bosses, loaners to loanees, etc.  It also indicates one's relationship to a place, as a person from Hawai'i ala.  It also takes care of the following phrases: with respect to, in regards to, as for, for, with, to, in the opinion of, etc.  All have the general idea of "with respect to x".

2.) Note: Quantifiers preceed the noun; adjectives follow.
iapeka (n.) (a/the) classification or label or type or kind
iu (v.) "there are" (you use this verb in existential situations in which the things that exist are plural)
o (part.) of (general genitive particle--used to mean "of" in the sense of things that belong to other things, are an actual part of them.  So, you say "ape o lelea" for "a drop of water", because that drop is inherently a part of the greater body of water.  Even though it can be separated, it is, in its natural state, a part of the water, just as one's arm is a part of one's body, even though it, too, can be cut off.  Note: This isn't a prefix, and never is; it's always a preposition.)
to (n./adj.) four; (v.) to quadruple; (adj.) fourth

3.) Note: Subject status markers indicate the status of the subject (hee, hee...).  They tell whether the subject is new or old, plural or singular.  They occur at the beginning of each phrase.  Oh, and as a second note, any adjective can be zero-derived to form a noun which means "a(n) x one", so if you had the adjective /a'i/, which is "white", you could use it as a noun to mean "a white one/thing".
Another note: This is a pro-drop language, such that if the subject is the same as the previous sentence, it need not be repeated.
a (part.) indicates a change in subject or focus (singular); also adverb meaning "now" (used with /male/ to indicate "about to", as in "Male a ale ei", "I'm about to go"); also used like the "-ing" ending in English, by placing it at the end of the utterance.
