I think I must have missed it the first time around. As long as second
chances are being offered, here is what I just submitted  for rtemmu:
(it's a bit long, even after dropping redundant rate-of-change markers,
but then, that seems to be rtemmu's character.) Anyhow in rtemmu it is:


liraskehskehs mhu zuv awa'kmkuhknuhkhe kehs itihk auwe,
lulive itihk kehs ukinhe mhuxere koyaifolo`gpasho`sax auni!


li = all can observe
ras = repetition
kehs (first) =  all are objectively changing at a "normal" rate
kehs (second) =  "you" are objectively changing at a "normal" rate
mhu = 2nd person singular
zuv = (what follows) is objectively changing too slow to notice
awa'k = look here!
o`g = compounding particle
mkuhknuhk = insane
-he = with respect to
kehs = (what follows) is objectively changing at a "normal" rate
itihk = 1st person singular
auwe = if

luli =  all will observe
ve =  soon
ukin = eat
-xere = possive (mhuxere = your)
kofol = sense organ
-yai- = infix relating to sight, thus "koyaifol" = eye
pasho` = yet, remaining
-sax = cessation of process
auni = then (as in "if...then" )

notes on pronounciation:

o` = [O]
eh = [E]
uh = [V] or [@]
ih = [I]
sh = [S]
' = [?]
