I Kattren George Washington giya Mt Vernon

KÅTTRE : bed

Mamaigo' si Juan gi hilo' kåttre.  John is sleeping on the bed.

Arekla i kattre pot fabot.  Fix the bed, please.

The origin of our word is the Spanish catre, which means "cot," not an actual bed.

Kåma is another word for "bed," and it also comes from Spanish - cama - which means "bed."
