Nanal getia neta gali gedamu lebisar lai kana.I have already agreed on the value of the goods that are here., Barang yang ada harga sudah disepakati oleh saya.

Grammatical note: Historically, this looks like a partially reduplicated form fv|{*na~nal}. Synchronically, however, partial reduplication is not in evidence in Wersing. Nanal can be possessed, nal-nal cannot be.
