Ooh, actual conlanging on conlang!  Yay! :)

Lessee.  "Discover life", first.

In Mephali:    Suñg osur!
     suñg = "find, discover"
     osur = "life"
     both new coinages.

In Okaikiar: Mankiard limkyn!
      mankiar = "life", lit. "that which is lived", from mankar "to
live"; -ard accusative
      limkan = find, discover; -yn = 2nd pl imperative)
      No new invention required (yay!  I think that's a first. :))

In Čurnalis: Selat juwohen!
     selat = life (definite, accusative), ju= 2pl imp, wohem = "to discover"
     All new.

"None of us is as strong as all of us" is going to take some pondering. :)
