jatyta

  1. snail, slug, mollusc
    • (Can we date this quote?), Ñandejára Ñeʼẽ La Biblia[1], Comité de Traducción del Nuevo Mundo, Salmos [Psalms] 58:8:
      Aipotaite oñehundipa hikuái, tojogua umi jatyta omano mbeguekatúvape ohóvo. Tojogua hikuái umi mitã omanóvape onase mboyve, umi ndohechajepéiva pe kuarahy.
      May they be destroyed, like the slowly dying slug, let them be like children who die before they are born, who have never seen the sun.
