• Kankanaey: “”It’s not possible,’ said the thoughtful-ones answering. ‘Our (excl.) reserve will not suffice for us all. You go to the store to buy (some).'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “‘Friend, this really can’t be shared with you (implies insufficient). Sorry about that. Probably you’d better just go to where it can be bought, so that you will have what you can put into your lamps.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “But the wise girls said in answer: ‘We can’t because if we give you the oil you need, then our lights won’t be able to burn. So now it is better that you go to where they sell oil and buy the oil you need,’ they said.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
