Here I attempted to fit my rough translation of the lords prayer into PIE into a dactylic hexameter. To do this, I had to mess around a lot with the word order, as well as bend the rules to a degree (for example, I have *h₁ludʰoyh₁d instead of the more correct *h₁ludʰoyd). It also forced me to change the grade of some words, such as *gʷēmóntn̥s (which should be *gʷmóntn̥s). In some cases also, laryngeals are simply elided, although I did not represent this orthographically. Similarly, a sequence of a vowel (including *i and *u) and a syllabic resonant will "desyllabify" the resonant and "tack it on" to the previous vowel; thus, the sequence *h₁ti n̥s would be pronounced *h₁tins; again, I did not represent these changes orthographically. It is also worth noting that I worked uder the assumption that, at least in early PIE, "voiceless stops" were pronounced as geminates which would close a syllable, making it bimoraic.

Our Father, which art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
in earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.
