Here's an attempt at a Tirelat translation. Not quite grammatical, but then
the grammar of Tirelat is continually in flux. Perhaps this is the poetic
style.
nai zimizezyai
kyi ronai, ghev gavizyai
le nama temba
Literal translation:
Suppose that all is being green.
Sun downward, suppose that wind exists.
I am at home.
