Thesirt sana yate umor sifis erisij ha.
/'ʈe.siɾt 'sa.ɳa 'ja.te 'um.oɾ 'si.fis e.'ɾi.siɖʐ ha/
smell-PRS good other give water plant-PL BEN
Watering the plants smells nice too.

So this is new. Yate, as part of an NP means "other". But adapting it to adverbial use it becomes "too".
It was about time I changed this.

['tialobet ɣiɣela'taniʔ re]
many-smell-NOM.INA VERB*-good-NOM.INA-HAB is*.
Many smells are good.

*no idea what these would be called, they reverbalize a nominalized verb, maybe it's the 'to be', but 're' is the root for the relative marker too.
