| Jen lupfantom’ de famili’ | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | One night, a banshee slunk away | ||
| meznokte iam kuris for | Left wife and brood one night and came | from mate and child, and in the gloom | ||
| al tombo de la profesor’. | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | went to a village teacher’s tomb, | ||
| kaj petis pri konjugaci’. | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.” | ||
| Do diktis tiu dokta ul’ | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | The village teacher climbed up straight | ||
| starante sur la kructabul’ | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | upon his grave stone with its plate | ||
| dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto | The seer arose a bit unsteady | and to the apparition said | ||
| atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto. | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | who meekly knelt before the dead: | ||
| De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta, | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place; | ||
| tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta, | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | the banHERS, the possessive case. | ||
| plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara, | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | The banHER, next, is what they call | ||
| ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara. | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | objective case--and that is all.” | ||
| Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | The banshee marveled at the cases | ||
| al la fantomo, kaj rezulte | The future form and participle | and writhed with pleasure, making faces, | ||
| ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | but said: “You did not add, so far, | ||
| pri participoj en pasivo.” | The scholar paused--again he tried: | the plural to the singular!” | ||
| La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen: | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | The teacher, though, admitted then | ||
| “Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen, | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | that this was not within his ken. | ||
| ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | “While bans are frequent”, he advised, | ||
| kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.” | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | “A she cannot be plurized.” | ||
| Sed lupfantomo pri transiro | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | The banshee, rising clammily, | ||
| ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro. | At home, and homewards now he crept, | wailed: “What about my family?” | ||
| La lup’ revenis larmokula | Happy, humble, without apology | Then, being not a learned creature, | ||
| al sia famili’ ulula. | For such folly of philology. | said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher. | ||
