      Amal nád ṅdéni neutur dindí as Tiberis cía do·berthar flumen friss, síc ní déni neutur dindí as Suthul ci ad·comaltar oppidum friss.
      As it does not make a neuter of [that which is] Tiberis that flumen is put with it, so it does not make a neuter of [that which is] Suthul, that oppidum is conjoined to it.
