Yes grece sues porci.


Translation:

sues ABC e | suos f


Translation:

Yes is Greek for Latin sues and porci {"sows, boars, pigs"}.


Commentary:

Cf. Greek ὗες /hŷes/, pl. of ὗς /hŷs/ "the wild pig; the domesticated animal; sow". Simon's pronunciation would have been /í-es/. Cf. remarks on pronunciation in Yetos.

Latin sus, pl. sues means "swine, hog, pig, boar, sow" (Lewis & Short, 1879).
