Sarna Kontakawk(The Warriors' Chant) is another longer example of the Carpathian language. The warriors' counsel takes place deep beneath the earth in a chamber of crystals with magma far below that, so the steam is natural and the wisdom of their ancestors is clear and focused. This is a sacred place where they bloodswear to their prince and people and affirm their code of honor as warriors and brothers.
Sarna Kontakawk (The Warriors' Chant)
Veri isaakank-veri ekaakank.
Blood of our fathers-blood of our brothers.
Veri olen elid. Blood is life.
Andak veri-elidet Karpatiiakank, es wake-sarna ku meke arwa-arvo, irgalom, han ku agba, es wake kutni, ku manaak verival.
We offer that life to our people with a blood-sworn vow of honor, mercy, integrity and endurance.
Verink sokta; verink ka?a terad. Our blood mingles and calls to you.
Akasz enak ku ka?a es juttasz kuntatak it. Heed our summons and join with us now.

4. A MUCH-ABRIDGED CARPATHIAN DICTIONARY
