Auf seinen Nasen schreitet einher das Nasobēm, von seinem Kind begleitet. Es steht noch nicht im Brehm. Es sieht noch nicht im Meyer. Und auch im Brockhaus nicht. Es trat aus meiner Leyer zum ersten Mal ans Licht. Auf seinen Nasen schreitet (wie schon gesagt) seitdem, von seinem Kind begleitet, einher das Nasobēm.

Le nasobème marche à pas comptés sur son nez, accompagné de son petit. Il n'est pas encore dans le [Brehm]1. On ne le trouve pas plus dans le [Meyer]2, ni dans le [Brockaus]2. Il est sorti de ma lyre, apparaissant au jour pour la première fois. Il marche depuis sur son nez, (comme on l'a déjà dit) accompagné de son petit, à pas compté, le nasobème.
1 Le Brehm est un livre de référence sur la vie des animaux.
2 Le Meyer et le Brockaus sont des encyclopédies.
