The Book of the Way and the Power
English Translation by Ursula K. LeGuin

Chapter Twenty-five – d̬ó foos pe̋nto þı̋ro
- There is something that contains everything. Before heaven and earth it is. Oh, it still is, unbodied, all on its own, unchanging, all-pervading, ever-moving.
- vísom ge̋ranto tı̋ı̋ðo vűűla: d̨em̃a̋sk̬e v̌eetősk̬e fésa e̋sa: vŭbődo. órvi sőőlo. alme̋iþanto. or-a̋zanto. vísum ȝa̋a̋anto ódu e̋sa:

- So it can act as the mother of all things. Not knowing its real name, we only call it the Way
- sááru orőmĕ maama̋s épa vı̋vu ma̋ƣa: m̃e̋e̋ro eȝo-fe̋e̋tom sa̋a̋rantu ne m̃u' sóólvi éȝom a̋tom fe̋e̋ta:

- If it must be named, let its name be Great. Greatness means going on, going on means going far, and going far means turning back.
- ébi fe̋e̋taþo ı̋lu ke̋la. toáári eȝo-fe̋e̋to me̋żo e̋su hene̋ȝa: me̋zta se̋e̋ru te̋ida. se̋e̋ru þífvi a̋tu te̋ida. da se̋e̋ru þífvi ke̋ru te̋ida:

- So they say: "The Way is great, heaven is great, earth is great, and humankind is great; four greatnesses in the world, and humanity is one of them."
