Funny.  =)

In Jovian:  |Eor eja nau morivas?|
             [Er 'e:j@ no mA'ri:v@s]
             therefore even not die:PST:2s

In Obrenje: |Pri kelese, tapondre.|
             [pri k@'le:S ta 'pOndr@]
             from see:PSV:PTC:d, NEG:die:PST:2

"From what is seen" is an idiom for "so, therefore, then".
