When he turned it on again, Baby was saying, "Kukk-ina za zeeva." "No, Baby, Pappy Jack doesn't understand. We'll have to be awfully patient, and learn each other's language." "Pa-pee Jaaak!" Baby cried. "Ba-bee za-hinga; Pa-pee Jaak za zag ga he-izza!" "That yeeking is just the audible edge of their speech; bet we have a lot of transsonic tones in our voices, too."
Behind a swarm of half-stretched and loose-hanging clouts and canvas things, a lad sat on an overturned tub, his fair-haired curly head in his hands, his elbows on his knees, peering through a sort of lattice-work. Jaak sat down at the other side, on a bundle of maize, in just the same attitude, and looked too....
They carefully combed and cleaned their black velvet ruffs, smoothed their sharp-striped feathers one by one, fondled and rubbed their downy breasts till they shone like new-blown roses....

SAIOH means good in the sense of kindly, pleasantly toned, or agreeable. JAAK is bad in the sense of a bad crop or an unfortunate occurrence, or a sore foot, I.E. it conveys no moral flavour. Morally bad is expressed by SALA; this is used in the same sense in Malay and may well be a recently-adopted word.

"Like 'Pa-pee Jaak'?" the judge on his right, with the black mustache, asked.
