| A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | Jen lupfantom’ de famili’ | En varulv lopp från fru m.m. | One night, a banshee slunk away | Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich | ||||
| Left wife and brood one night and came | meznokte iam kuris for | en vacker afton samt begav | from mate and child, and in the gloom | von Weib und Kind und sich begab | ||||
| To a hidden graveyard to enlist | al tombo de la profesor’. | sig till en bymagisters grav | went to a village teacher’s tomb, | an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab | ||||
| The aid of a long-dead philologist. | kaj petis pri konjugaci’. | och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera. | requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.” | und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“ | ||||
| “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | Do diktis tiu dokta ul’ | mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp | The village teacher climbed up straight | Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf | ||||
| He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | starante sur la kructabul’ | på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp | upon his grave stone with its plate | auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf | ||||
| The seer arose a bit unsteady | dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto | med svar till den, som satt på pass | and to the apparition said | und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten | ||||
| Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto. | med tåligt korslagd tass på tass. | who meekly knelt before the dead: | geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten: | ||||
| “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta, | “Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing., | “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place; | „Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann, | ||||
| While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta, | du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så | the banHERS, the possessive case. | „des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann, | ||||
| There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara, | vi voro-ulv, I voren. På | The banHER, next, is what they call | dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt, | ||||
| And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara. | de voro-ulv kom ingenting.” | objective case--and that is all.” | den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“ | ||||
| “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe | Varulven myste glad åt hur | The banshee marveled at the cases | Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle | ||||
| The future form and participle | al la fantomo, kaj rezulte | pers. hade följts av sing. och plur. | and writhed with pleasure, making faces, | er rollte seine Augenbälle. | ||||
| Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o | “Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens | but said: “You did not add, so far, | „Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch | ||||
| The scholar paused--again he tried: | pri participoj en pasivo.” | en enda pers. i tempus presens?” | the plural to the singular!” | zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“ | ||||
| “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen: | Bekänna måste vår magister, | The teacher, though, admitted then | Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste | ||||
| ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | “Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen, | att därvidlag fanns vissa brister. | that this was not within his ken. | gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste. | ||||

| I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.” | var contradictio in adjecto. | “A she cannot be plurized.” | doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular. | ||||
| The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | Sed lupfantomo pri transiro | Varulven satt med tårad lins. | The banshee, rising clammily, | Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind – | ||||
| At home, and homewards now he crept, | ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro. | Han visste att han fanns och finns. | wailed: “What about my family?” | er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind! | ||||
| Happy, humble, without apology | La lup’ revenis larmokula | Därtill kom också fru m.m. | Then, being not a learned creature, | Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben, | ||||
| For such folly of philology. | al sia famili’ ulula. | som även måste existera. | said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher. | so schied er dankend und ergeben. | ||||
