Re: The Priest Wrote the King a Letter

Itlani:

Ta savór tanshedova ta darorese feryavór.
(the priest-NOM.SG letter-ACC.SG the king-DAT.SG write-ACT.PST-3SG.M)

"savek" = priest (savór [M], savél [F])

Itlani verbs in 3SG distinguish between (-or [M], -el [f] and -ad [D] "Deific".

Re: There's a snake in my boot!

Itlani:

"Eynád dini zhoyit vesetan zhanyira!"
(snake-NOM.SG in 1SG-ADJ boot-LOC.SG find-PAS.PRS-3SG.N)

NOTE: Itlani 3SG separately indicates feminine (-el = 3SG.F), masculine (-or = 3SG.M), non-gendered (-a = 3SG.N) or Deific (-ad = 3SG.D).

Re: What has been written must occur

Itlani:

"Ta feriven brinkiandjyara."
(the write-PAS.PST.PTCP-ADJ occur-GERV-ACT.PRS-3SG.N)

The verb "brinkiandjya" (lit: to have to occur) is one of those often encountered "agglutinations on-the-fly" in Itlani. It is unlikely to appear in any dictionary.
