【1】 Apa min ránasta, attië lelendë i orontinnar itan hostauvattë istalë pá i luimë.
► One month later, a group of two traveled to the mountains to gather information about the flood.
【2】 Entulessettassë, ósantettë tercelli.
► Upon their return, they shared their insights.
【4】 Sillë quentettë:
► So they recounted:
【5】 I yána ailin orwa ortostassë avánië!
► The big lake high up in the mountains is gone!
【6】 Sí en eä nan yó sír.
► Now there is just a valley with a stream.
【7】 Ta únemmë hírë i felya arë i ailin, tana nómë silumë etsir i vinya nandello.
► Also we did not find the mine near the lake, that area is now the mouth of the new valley.
【8】 Sáneämmë i ailin et-rancë, nai i felyar acariër loica i anastorna ondo axë nún i hríma ailinwa.
► We think the lake broke through, maybe the mines had weakened the tough stone ridge below the rim of the lake.
【9】 Cenasta i úrin lairë aiantanië tiquilë areä helcelmeo i tiucanë i ailin, nemba nánes añquanta.
► The hot summer could have meant more melting of the nearby glacier that fed the lake, it must have been very full.
【10】 Encë i hundo ar ulo ortostanna ná i telda nihta i sampanéo ya carnë hríma rúvina ar sennë i oloirë.
► The thunder and rain above the mountains may have been the final piece of the combination that burst the rim and unleashed the flood.
【11】 Qui aniénelvë i felya talumë andúnessë, nauvalvë ascatainë loicoli loxossë.
► If we had reached the mine that evening, we would have been shredded corpses in the mud.
