In the stars
The four kinds of stars:
The first kind are called the wandering ones, because they go all the places in the stars.
The second kind are called the staying ones, because they stay far from the sun.
The third kind are called the dying ones, or falling ones, because they fall to earth.
The fourth kind are called the unknown ones, because they appear far away in the stars. The sun is a cousin of this kind of star. The myth caused the fire in great anger.

GRAMMATICAL NOTES:
1.Zitwbata uses consonatal roots in which the vowel indicates the case, number and tense in nouns and verbs (only case and number in nouns, only tense in verbs). Adjectives are fully formed.
2.Any single letter followed by a glottal stop(apostrophe) is a preposition or a grammatical prefix.
3.Word order is strictly VSO, Genitives precede their host
