<snip> In rtemmu it would be: liwuhna ranashhe wuh r`kotr`kasuo`gtr`shkuh. And if we're including natlangs too, in Hebrew it would be: af exad zoxer shemot shel nemalim . (Although, on the street, most people would probably use a grammatically incorrect double-negative by adding "lo" (=no): af exad lo zoxer shemot shel nemalim. ) Dan Sulani -------------------------------------------------------------------- likehsna rtem zuv tikuhnuh auag inuvuz vaka'a.
