Re: Translation: Trolls and their Management

Omeina:
Beku ali gau balburgelde!
["not to be" + imperative] [give] [food] ["evil-lumbering-race" + dative]
Notes:
beku is the usual form of "don't" though you could choose the polite form
and sound Irish - begora.
-ge is a suffix denoting "particular kind or 'race of being' " thus ange =
humankind, the human race.
If you want to say "this particular Troll here" you could say "i balburge" =
this Troll, or even "i bai balburge" = this very Troll.
