Mk 9:50b ... "But if the salt becomes 'unsalty,' ... in what then will you season it?"

The second and third phrases have these 10 dialog words, ... Ean de to halas alalon genētai, en tini auto artusete ("If but the salt unsalty becomes, in what then it will you season")?

The 10 dialog words are bottom up. The diagram shows why the "salt" in the previous diagram "became unsalty." It was pushed into the dirt. When ordinary salt (sodium chloride) gets "unsalty" (contaminated), it becomes "un-white" or "not good." Now look where the string of words breaks. Right after word six, exactly where the salt begins! The salt then breaks in the middle of the last four words. What can you add to it to bring it back? Jesus (888) has the answer in the last two phrases.
