translates to :

from buLA to buLa
2| add the 'and' to translated form 'lAwi'
buLalAwi
3| add translated word for mouse , mIdA
buLalAwi mIdA

but:
translating:
"cookie and milk"
nouns:
	cookie: bisqkOdu
	milk: kiru
yields:
bisqkOdAwi kiru

here, the 'and' is .. 'Awi', notice that its just a
diacritic and a letter followed by diacritic..

2)
several times, 'wadi' is also used as a literal replacement
for 'and'
eg:
cat and mouse

there are several

here it's 'nAwi'
the pattern to select depends on the ending of the pronoun before it..
