The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The Antelope Boy, sentence 87
The property of the witches was taken to Nah-bah-tóo-too-ee; and as it was more than that village could hold, the surplus was sent to Shee-eh-whíb-bak (Isleta), where we enjoy it to this day; and later the people themselves moved here.
Who acts: bah tóo, trouble, we, people · What happens: take, ee, be, hold, send, enjoy · To what, where: property, surplus, eh whíb bak, trouble
