Rather difficult at this time, since I don't even have a word for "heart" in Bokuchi Rinu-Khai, but what about this: Bo alil rinu, bo alil deusiude. people NEG-with language, people NEG-with truth-center-COP |deu| /dew/ 'truth' and |siu| /sju/ 'center, central' make up a compound (R-K is head-first) that means 'inner reality', 'inner person', 'self', etc. --Pablo Flores http://www.angelfire.com/ego/pdf/ng/index.html
