      Eara sa antee haara tea mosi o koopu vai o kobus, tabae na antee nana tea koava ge mahamahan, ei beara takinima nie, ei be raka bata maa a koopu.

      We cannot cut a young and moist bamboo, because it can rot or leave spaces (in the wall), when we plait the wall with it, that is, when the koopu bamboo dries up.
