2. | They got me distracted and then sneaked out to the bar. | Erro ar kōṃad eō innām ajjiwewe ḷọk ñan ṃōn kadek eo. | ajjiwewe |
3. | The Engineer says he is going to put it together tomorrow morning and test it in the afternoon, and then we will start to load.” P81 | Injinia eo ej ba enaaj kadedeḷọk an booje ilju ej jibboñ im likbade ālikkin raelep innem kemmān jino ektak.” | ālikin |
4. | Wait till it comes within range, then shoot it. | Kōttar an allọk em buuki. | allọk |

6. | Would you then work on my toy canoe to make it fast? | Kwōmaroñ ke kab ane tok riwut e waō? | an |
7. | I think we should reload the lumber before it starts raining even if it will be more difficult then. P728 | Eṃṃan ñe jebar ektaki tok aḷaḷ kā ṃokta jān an wōt bwe ej kab naaj apañḷọk wōt. | apañ |

9. | The way they make them, they dig down until it is near water, then cement the sides but put a rim around it with an oil drum or stones so that the sides don’t crumble and make it dirty. S22 | Wāween aer kōṃṃani, rej kibwiji ñan ñe epo dān innām jimeeṇe tōrerein ak apare tōrerein kōn kaajliiñ ak dekā bwe en jab rōṃ tōrerein im kōṃṃan an ettoon. | apar |

11. | “Mr. Engineer, you and the Boatswain bring your boat up alongside that boat over there,” the Captain said and then climbed up when he saw the Old Man and the Chief standing with the other people on the pier. P1344 | “Injinia e, kōmiro Bojin kaatartar waj wa ṇe waadmān,” Kapen eo ekar ba innem wanlaḷ ḷọk ke ej lo ḷōḷḷap eo im irooj eo ippān armej ro ioon wab eo. | atartar |
12. | “Then make two plates for the Boatswain and me, and maybe you should go get another can of meat because I don’t think this will be enough for all of us.” P377 | “Innem āte tok ruo amro Bojin pileij, kab bōlen eṃṃan ñe kwōbar kwaḷọk tok juon jālele bwe ij ḷōmṇak ejabwe men ṇe.” | ātet |
13. | “We thought it was coming over to help and then it just disappeared.” P1157 | “Jej ba ej pojak in jipañ ak eñin ejako.” | ba |
14. | Father looked over at him for a bit and then headed up. P1069 | Jema ebar lale jidik innem etal. | bar |
15. | Wait till it expands then let it go. | Kōttar an bōbool (ebbool) em kōtḷọke. | bōbool |

18. | When he reached the cross-stick at the top of the mast, he suddenly started kicking, then he jumped up to the top and landed on it and sat down. P1192 | Ke ekar tōpar kūrọọjti eo, ebuñjenōṃ ḷak bwijbwij, ekā lōñ ḷọk im jok ioon im jijet. | bwijbwij |
19. | I put down the bread next to them and then found a tray, a small knife, and handed them over, and the Boatswain took the knife and sliced one of the loaves and we all ate and drank. P269 | Idoori pilawā ko iturierro innem kwaḷọk tok juon tūre, juon bakbōk im jake ḷọk men ko im Bojin eo ebōk bakbōk eo im jiḷaiti juon iaan ḷoob ko im kōmjel idaak im ṃōñā | dedoor |
20. | If you know how to prepare and cook pandanus pudding in hot rocks, then make some for us. | Ñe kwōjelā del kwōn del tok kijed. | del |
21. | Then other waves hit the boat crossways and kept it from turning over. P687 | Eḷak jitpeḷeḷ ñan ṇo ko eṃṃan aer itōm depdepete. | depdep |
22. | Wait for the chicken to roost and then catch it. | Kaddeik bao eṇ im ḷak ṃōj jibwe. | edde |
23. | Then I noticed that inside the boat Father’s tools were still all spread out down there. P52 | Iḷak mejek laḷ ḷọk lowaan wa eo ilo kein jerbal ko an Jema rej eojaḷ wōt ijo. | eojaḷ |
24. | They were arguing and then fought | Raar akwāāl im ire. | iakwāāl |
25. | We will go a little bit further and then rest there. | Jenaaj wōnṃaanḷọk jidik im kakkije ijjieṇ. | ijjiieṇ |

31. | “Everything is fine,” the Boatswain said and then chuckled. P762 | “Ej eṃṃan wōt itokin,” Bojin eo eba innem ettōñ. | itok |
32. | They are just going to Hawaii for a while and then they'll come back. | Rej ja ilọk ṃokta ñan Awai im naaj bar itok. | ja |
33. | Then when the water splashed it sprayed all over the boards. P719 | Kiiō eḷak ejjelōblōb dān ṇe, ejādbūtbūt tok ñan ioon rā kaṇe. | jādbūtūktūk |
34. | I took his plate over like he had asked and then turned around and faced Father. P1331 | Ikar āte ḷọk pileij eo ñiin āinwōt an kar ba innem jaḷḷọk ñan Jema. | jāl- |
35. | Then one day Father and the two men met together and the idea arose that Father should approach the man who owned the twenty-two foot boat and ask if he would allow them to charter it to Likiep. P20 | Innem juon raan Jema kab ḷōṃarein ruo erjel kar kwelọk ippān doon im lo juon ḷōmṇak bwe Jema en kepaak ḷeo waan booj in im roñoul ruo ne aitokan im kajjitōk ippān emaroñ ke kōtḷọk wa eo waan bwe erjel en jata kake ñan Likiep. | jata |
36. | The three of us stayed there for a while, and then I looked toward the shore and saw Father carrying the container of water away from the island. P1282 | Kōmjel bar pād jidik im iḷak rōre āne ḷọk, ilo Jema ej jepak meto tak nien dān eo. | jepak |
37. | And then one morning, Father came up on deck and started talking to the Boatswain. P1188 | Ḷak baj juon jibbōñ, Jema ewanlōñ tak ñan ioon teek im kōnono ḷọk ñan Bojin eo. | jibboñ |
38. | “Okay,” I said; I gave him the monkey wrench and then continued bailing. P623 | “Ekwe,” iba im jibwe ḷọk men eo innem bar jino ānen | jibwe |
39. | They had an argument and then squared off and fought. | Rar iakwāāl im jujne jibwe doon. | jibwe doon |
40. | He stayed on the boat for a little while and then went ashore. P406 | Epād jidik ioon wa eo innem wōnāne ḷọk | jidik |
41. | He kept trying and then made it, and he slowly crawled up onto the deck where Father and the Boatswain were. P1225 | Ekar kattūkat bajjek ijo im ḷak tōprak, ejidik wōt an tōbal lōñ ḷọk ñan ioon teek im jibadek ḷọk ijo ippān Jema kab Bojin eo. | jidik |

43. | Father slowed a bit first and then pushed the engine’s reverse lever back. P482 | Jema ejiḷoik ḷọk jidik ṃōṃkaj im iuun lik ḷọk jurōn kein pāāk eo ilo injin eo. | jiḷo |
44. | Back then if people wanted to go sailing they didn’t have to ask anyone. P397 | Ñe rūtto ro rejọ kōn kōṇaan jerakrōk rej jab kajjitōk ippān bar juon. | jọ |
45. | Next it is preserved with breadfruit leaves and coconut fronds, then pounded and again covered with leaves and buried. S28 | Ṃōjin rej kōbọrōke kōn bōlōk in mā im kimej, innām rej jukjuki im bar kūtimi kōn bōlōk im kalbwini. | jukjuk |
46. | You need to wait until June and then go | Kwōj aikuj kaJuuni im etal. | Juun |
47. | “I am going to hold one end of the boards and put them inside; then you grab the other side and pass them down.” P744 | “Inaaj jibwe jabōn rā kā rej deḷọñ tok innem kwōnaaj jibwe jabōn jab ṇe ippaṃ im kabwijere laḷ waj.” | kabwijer |
48. | “So then, why don’t we see any birds or driftwood?” the Boatswain asked. P926 | “Ma, etke jej jab baj ellolo bao ak jokwā?” ekkajitōk Bojin eo. | kajjitōk |
49. | “Seeeveneeeleeveeen,” the man said with all his might, and then threw the dice against the wall of the house. P156 | “Jeeepeniiileeepen,” ḷeo ekate ba innem kad kiin eṃ kōn taij ko. | kakkōt |
50. | Next it is preserved with breadfruit leaves and coconut fronds, then pounded and again covered with leaves and buried. S28 | Ṃōjin rej kōbọrōke kōn bōlōk in mā im kimej, innām rej jukjuki im bar kūtimi kōn bōlōk im kalbwini. | kallib |
51. | Wait till his foot gets in the noose then yank | Kōttar an allok neen em keepep. | keepep |
52. | And if that happens, well then I don’t know when we’ll see the island plants and trees, if ever. P901 | Im ñe āindein, ekwe iñak jenaaj bar ellolo ñāāt keinikkanin āne.” | keinikkan |
53. | The boat would almost capsize but then would straighten up again. | Wa eo kiōk okjak, ekwe ebar jiṃwe. | kiōk |
54. | The Japanese planted kiudi in the Marshalls during their time there / back then. | Ri-Nibboñ raar kōkat (ekkat) kiudi i Ṃajeḷ jeṃaan. | kiudi |
55. | The Boatswain stayed where he was for a minute and then was overcome with his desire to smoke. P767 | Bojin eo ekar pād bajjek ijo innem jiktok an kōṇaan kōbaatat. | kōbaatat |
56. | Then what happened to make her the best qualified for the job? | Innem ta eo bwe en oktam (oktak im) kōiie tata ñan jerbal eṇ? | kōiie |
57. | He looked at me and then he saw the condition of my legs and shouted. P46 | Erre tok im ḷak lo kōjāllin neō elaṃōj. | kōjālli- |
58. | Then we put them to dry in the sun, and when they are dry, fit them into a basket, box, or can until we need them for food. S27 | Ṃōjin, jej kōjeeki, im ñe rōṃōrā, kọkoṇi ṇai lowaan iiep, bọọk, ak tiin, ṃae iien jeaikuji ñan ṃōñā | kōjeje |

61. | The three of us stayed there for a little while longer and then the Captain started shouting down below. P1159 | Kōmjel bar pād jidik ijo im ej meḷan ḷọk ak Kapen eo ekkeilọk i lowa. | kōkeilọk |
62. | I returned to the rice, and realizing that the left-over was enough for dinner, I then stowed it in the boat’s pantry. P390 | Irọọl tok ñan raij eo im ḷak lale ke ebwe ñan kōjota, ijujen kọkoṇe ḷọk wōt i lowaan pāāntōre eo an wa eo. | kọkkoṇkoṇ |

65. | “It spilled from the engine when it was running and then flowed into and combined with the bilge water.” Father explained. P718 | “Ekar ippilpil jān injin ṇe ke ear jọ im tọọr waj ñan dān ṇe i lowa,” Jema ekōmḷeḷeik eō. | kōmmeḷeḷe |

67. | They didn’t swim for long; they soon reached the island and came out of the lagoon and went across the sand and then were out of sight on a small path between the Scaveola. P1252 | Ekar jab to aerro aō ḷọk ak erro tōpar āne im ato ḷọk i arin ān eo im wōnāne ḷọk ioon bok im penjak ḷọk ilo juon mejate ilo kōṇṇat ko. | kōṇṇat |

72. | Lock the house then (when you leave.) | Kwōn kab ḷake ṃōṇe | ḷak |
73. | Father was still in the middle of talking when the Captain interrupted him, “We will use the engine first and then when the wind picks up we will use the sail,” the Captain said.

80. | The Captain cleared his throat but then was silent and didn’t say anything. P782 | Kapen eo emmelkwarkwar bajjek ijo im ḷak kar jillọk im lōr. | lur |
81. | “Don’t move yet. We need to empty the rest of this can into the engine and then you can continue bailing water,” Father said. P602 | “Jab kijer in eṃṃakūtkūt bwe kōjro kōmaat ḷọk kāān in ṇa lowaan tāāñ e, innem kwōmaroñ jino aṃ ānen,” Jema eba tok. | maat |

101. | Then he asked the Boatswain if the gas container was the one next to the mast. P408 | Ej ṃōjin ak ekajjitōk ippān kar tāāñin kiaaj eo eñeo i turin kiju eo ke. | tāāñ |
102. | If there are typhoons or other disasters, then can know about them by listening to the radio. S26 | Ñe ewōr taibuun im jorrāān ko rōḷḷap, remaroñ in jeḷā kake jān aer roñjake retio. | taibuun |
