The word "lives" (or some other short word ending in "ves") seems to be behind unclear-1, so "respires" might be likely as the blurred word. | ||

Here's a list of all the blurry text from the translator from 1190: Time, both with the original image and enhanced contrast.
A note about grammar:
- The punctuation appears to be borrowed from the translator's native language.
- The ring diacritic indicates a question mark.
- A single line above a letter is a full stop.
- A double line above a letter is an exclamation mark (or probably a comma).
This might help in determining the native language a bit better.
