Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Re: There's a snake in my boot!
In Itlani:
"Dini zhoyit vesetan eynád zhanyira!"
(In my boot snake find-present-passive-it.")
Most Itlani verbs have a passive form.
"Eynadova dini zhoyit vesetan zhanyavu." (I found a snake in my boot.")
"Eynád dini zhoyit vesetan zhanyira." (A snake is found in my boot.")
