My first fully original text, the Declaration of Independance

Of course, the real orthography looks much nicer, but the net friendly
version actually transfers to the list.
Anyway, an interlinear is in order:
ga gazo anita atwK ap z'elohi
if whip.PRS any race.NOM.s one weaker
itwK, ba tabo ahwS l' olwk
race.ACC.s then is.PRS there.NOM.s the last.GEN.s

itwd.

l' taros:

If anyone can't understand the interlinear, ask, and I'll tell you what you
need to know.
Just a question, should I anglicise the Language name?
Zitubian, maybe?
