My postillion has been struck by lightning.
Rireinutire
mano tohiuhina saha oroko yakava:
/mɑno tohiuhinɑ sɑhɑ oɹoko jɑkɑvɑ/

Edit:
It might be amusing to know that tohiuhi, the Rireinutire word for postillion, derives from tohi-uhi (mount-AGZ), to describe the job of one who operates a carriage while riding one of the horses (or other animals) pulling it. This in distinction to nakuhi 'coachwoman' (from naku-uhi (drive-AGZ)) who sits in (or on) the carriage instead.
