Doora, pronounced like English door. 78 Anadinga magana. There is a lot of talking going on. 79 Chi dununka (da hannu). Put your arms akimbo. Kamashi a dunu. Seize him by the waist. 80 Kadda woni ya goata woni. Don't let any one project beyond his fellows. Useful in explaining the idea of dressing to a soldier, or a line of them. 81 Anyi minny lalle na bashi. I was obliged to give it him.
