Spoiler:
NB: Normally, the two dialects of Chüi Baris are much closer in syntax; however,these examples are very divergent. This is because Colloquial has derived a verb for rainfall (as opposed to Standard's keeping the phrase "rain falls" from the parent language), and because Colloquial has innovated some aspect particles (teni i peʒ tóns "it keeps that rain falls" => tenī peʒ tóns "CONTINUATIVE (?) rain falls"). In most contexts, the two dialects are about as separate as Glaswegian and Estuary, i.e. easily understandable if both parties are paying attention. [:)]

A: It stopped raining. B: No, it still rains.

In Queranaran, there's no "dummy subject" -- raining is said to be done by the Weather Queen(*), so (and also leaving out any obligatory/optional evidential apparatus):

A: pwe-derí hwessasamray ulmang
/pwɜdɜri hwɜssäsämräj ʉlmäŋ/
ERG-3sf.PROX cease-ADV rain-IMPF

or alternatively

pwe-herí ulmang
/pwɜhɜri ʉlmäŋ/
ERG-3sf.DIST rain-IMPF

The first literally means "she here and now ceasingly rainings" while the second means "she over yonder is continuing to rain (while obviously no longer raining here)".

B: erhr, yung: pwe-derí ululmang
/er̥ jʉŋ pwɜdɜri ʉlʉlmaŋ/
FILLER but.surely 3sf-PROX EMPH-rain-IMPF

Umm, surely she is continuing raining.

ulmain: to be raining; root reduplication here indicates emphatic continuance
hwessain: to end or cease; a kind of compound verb can be created by placing the modifying verb in its corresponding adverbial form
-samray: adverbial termination
derí: 3sf-PROX
herrí: 3sf-DIST

[hr][/hr]

"The sixth person refers to non-personal animate entities. For example, trees, lower animals, water spilling over a falls, soup boiling over and the like. As with the third person, there is here also a deictic distinction of proximal and distal. While it might seem natural for weather phenomena to be of the sixth person, in fact such agents as cause rain or snow or wind -- the Weather Queens -- are referred to by the third person pronouns."

<Rain Goddess> cease<PLUP>3SG | NEG <Rain Goddess> ADV become<PRS>3SG ADV
Lit. Muna-Gaira has ceased. No, Muna-Gaira still becomes yet more.
Spoiler:
Muna-Gaira is the Goddess of the Moon. Rozwis express "it rains" with the phrase "Muna-Gaira becomes".
Similar constructions are still used for expressing heat/sun

Varnu yebonek <Sun God> becomes

and for expressing snowstorms
Elau yeboonek <Lord of snows> becomes

sa .... ʕai- Usually adverbs go before the verb, except for degree (much, a little, so much, etc). ʕai
was the original postclitic adverb for "yet, still". Later, Rozwi acquired proclitic sa , but often paired it with ʕai.
That construction with both has remained for centuries.
