-------------------------------------------

This passage is Matthew 1 translated to Uma/Pipikoro language. I do not know who wrote this translation, but there are several things that are mostly untranslated and therefore do not fall within the rules of Uma/Pipikoro.

Namely, there are consonants in the syllable coda (that are not glottal stops); this disrupts Uma/Pipikoro's usual syllable structure. In addition, sounds like /z/ and /ʃ/ are not native to Uma/Pipikoro but are present in the text.

There are four different words used for negation in Uma, all of which have a unique grammatical function.

uma: [uma] means “no” or “not” in Uma (and is the word from which it derives its name). Here is an example sentence:

"Uma-pi mpaiʔ niʔinca-i." not-[cont] later they(GF)know-LOC "We won’t know anymore."

koʔia: [koʔia] means “not yet” in Uma. Here is an example sentence:

"Koʔia rata tina-ku." not.yet arrive mother-my "My mother hasn’t arrived yet."

bela: [bela] means “not” when used with nouns in Uma. Here is an example sentence:

"Bela wunga tetu." not flower that "That is not a flower."

neoʔ: [neoʔ] means “don’t,” as in a command, in Uma. Here is an example sentence:

"Neoʔ geoʔ." don’t cry "Don’t cry."
