This image displays a black-and-white linguistic table containing text arranged in three columns against a white background. The font is a standard serif typeface. The table lists words from an unspecified language, their modified forms with prefixes, and their English translations.

The top line serves as a header or example row. In the first column, it reads "noun". In the second column, aligned to the right of the first, it reads "'one noun'". There is no text in the third column on this line.

Below the header, there are twelve rows of data. Each row follows the pattern: [Base Noun] ... [Prefixed Form] ... ['English Translation'].

The specific content of the rows is as follows:

1.  First column: "bitu?on" (ending with a question mark symbol). Second column: "sam-bitu?on". Third column: "'month'".
2.  First column: "ta:?". Second column: "san-ta:?". Third column: "'word'".
3.  First column: "koen?". Second column: "san-koen?". Third column: "'head of grain'".
4.  First column: "utok". Second column: "san-utok". Third column: "'brain'".
5.  First column: "sumpir". Second column: "san-sumpir". Third column: "'beard'".
6.  First column: "apu". Second column: "san-apu". Third column: "'fire'".
7.  First column: "gampal". Second column: "san-gampal". Third column: "'underlayer'".
8.  First column: "noa". Second column: "sa-noa" (note the prefix changes to 'sa'). Third column: "'breath'".
9.  First column: "?o:r" (starting with a question mark symbol and containing a colon). Second column: "sa-?o:r". Third column: "'nose'".
10. First column: "lolo:n" (containing a colon). Second column: "sa-lolo:n". Third column: "'thousand'".
11. First column: "wuras". Second column: "sa-wuras". Third column: "'seed'".
12. First column: "malom". Second column: "sa-malom". Third column: "'night'".

The text uses the symbol "?" to represent a glottal stop, appearing at the end of words like "bitu?on" and "ta:?", or at the beginning of "?o:r". The colon ":" indicates vowel length in words like "lolo:n" and "?o:r". The prefix changes from "sam-" or "san-" for most entries to "sa-" for the bottom four entries.
