Hey, what a nice idea. Here in LW:
Eshúrendit! Zirindit.
Eshur.e.ndi.t(en)! Zir.i.ndi.t(en).
~fuck.IMP.TRAN.2sACC Hate.1s.TRAN.2sACC
Well, LW have standard word for copulate 'elis' but in that case I'd use a more
slangy word 'eshur', a tormented version of the original one. A variant of
'zir' "to hate" is 'sir' which are rather used in poetry. The -t at the end of
the words are standing for the 2s accusative 'ten', only a bit shortened.
