Transcription Notes:
Hi! This is an interlinear text which is a kind of table that linguists use to show the structure of sentences - please transcribe it as a table (see first lines as example). Also, the apostrophes are actually syllable stress marks and are really important so please include those (just use an apostrophe). Also, there are diacritics (which are SUPER important so thank you for including them) can't be confused with the stress marks which come after letters - just use an apostrophe for those.
