At the door my nets are hanging.
Go and wring them, yenadizze.

Yeruti, son o f Quiara and Mon nema. His fa ther and mother were of the Guarani race, and the only ones who esca ped a small-pox plague which infested that part of Paraguay. Yeruti was born after his parents migrated to the Mondai woods, but his father was killed by a jaguar just before the birth of Mooma (his sister). When grown to youthful age, a Jesuit pastor induced the three to come and live at St. Joachin, where was a primitive colony of some 2000 souls. Here the mother soon died from the confinement of city life. Mooma followed her ere long to the grave. Yeruti now requested to be baptized, and no sooner was the rite over, than he cried, “Ye are come for me! I am quite ready!” and instantly expired.—Southey: A Tale of Paraguay (1814).
