Lost in Translation

Humk was trying to say something when his kinsmen attacked the camp, but I couldn't understand a word. Where did you find him?
So this Tungar asked you to take him to the camp? Very interesting! It's a pity he does not understand us. But I've spent enough time in expeditions to be able to learn his primitive language.
We should probably start with gestures, as they are the universal mean of passing information. Don't you know that? A naked bottom showed to an opponent is taken as an offense by all known sentient beings. This is a scientifically proven fact!
Well, no, we are not going to show our bottoms to the savage. Let's try some friendly gestures - I want to see his reaction and hear the response.

These aborigines have a peculiar language... Some words seem familiar.

I think I am beginning to understand the principle of their speech. The Tungar language seems to be quite primitive and imageless.
Now, wait. I need to ask our little guest several questions.
