This is a way of cooking meat pastries.
Make dough of white flour, oil, salt, and water.
Set this aside.
Make small, cut up pieces of cooked meat and onion, with spices and some salt.
Make balls the size of nuts with the dough.
Make the balls flat so that they become circles the size of a hand.
Make balls of the meat mixture on top of each of the circles.
Put circles on top of each of the circles and then put these together.
Put these into the oven.
Cook until golden brown.
When done, (these) will become meat pastries.

Inflections
| ja- + -NULL/-a/-e |
thing, piece, singular noun |
| ja- + -i |
things, pieces, plural noun (default for liquids & masses) |
| an- + -i |
set, pieces, collective noun |
| an- + -NULL/-a/-e |
state, event |
For example, using the substantive root -kíl-, ja-kíl-a would be a piece of
meat, ja-kíl-i pieces of meat, an-kíl-i a set of pieces of meat, and an-kíl-a
the state of being meat or meat-ness.
N N juxtaposition: If the two (or more) nouns are all of identical inflection,
then they all refer to the same entity, so ja-kíl-a ja-móm-a would refer to a
flat piece of meat. If the nouns are of differing inflections, then the
following noun is an attribute or a part of the preceding noun. so ja-kíl-a
an-móm-a would be: a piece of meat, it's flatness.
