(I kind of do my own version of glossing, if that's okay. I hadn't heard of it and developed it on my own unknowingly... Is it still understandable?)

The priest wrote a letter for the king.
Or
The priest penned a paper for the king.

The Daas people have little experience with a mailing system outside of what they've heard of from travelers, so no word for "letter" has arrived yet.
Also, that /ʂisai/ is a Japanese loanword from "司祭", /shisaiʔ/.
he/him, they/them
Forgive me if I seem uneducated or disorganized, I am new to the community and vocab.

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".
