Ass-nni, d Ttlata 9/7/2024. Cfiɣ fell-as am wass-a fell-i. Ifukk-iyi ddwa. Uzzleɣ ɣer laklinik Tudert, ad d-ẓreɣ amejjay-iw, Duktur Meddur, iwakken ad iyi-t-id-yaru daɣen di lkaɣeḍ ; imi yettagi ufermasyan ad iyi-t-id-yezzenz mebla l’ordonnance.

 » Kečč iban akka yeffeɣ-d wul-ik. Ma ulac fell-as, n wacu uṭṭun i k-id-iṣaḥen εni ?
Zzakkneɣ-as-t.

Sneεmleɣ fkiɣ-as kra.
Ṭṭfeɣ-d ajuṭun-is, mekkneɣ-as winna-inu. Yemmeɣ-d fell-as, yejleq-iyi-t am win yugaden ad qqleɣ deg wawal.
