Correct Answer: mitltam
Explanation:
Tam means sky;
ceno means blue;
rax means cheese;
apl means star; and
mitl means bright. So,
mitltam means bright sky.
Correct Answer: patricrin
Explanation:
In this language, the adjective follows the noun. From
dionot and
blyonot, you can determine that 'onot' means oak. From
blyonot and
blycrin, you can determine that
bly means leaf. Therefore,
crin means maple. Because the adjective maple comes after the noun,
patricrin is the only possible choice.

Myn means saddle; cabel means horse; cono means trail; and wir means ride. Therefore, cabelwir is the correct answer.
Correct Answer: lelipleka
Explanation:
Leli means yellow;
broon means hat;
pleka means flower;
froti means garden;

Correct Answer: kratafoni
Explanation:
Dafta means advise;
foni is the same as the
suffix -ment; imo is the same as the prefix mis-; lokti means conduct. Since the only word in the answer choices that hasn't been defined is krata, it is reasonable to assume that
krata means state. Therefore,
kratafoni is the only choice that could mean statement.
