Babel 64

Well, I thought I'd just share with y'all (I normally don't say that but=20
sometimes I just can't resist!) a couple of things I've started translating=20
into Eloshtan but haven't completed yet: The Babel Text and Psalm 64.

and psalm 64....

(I'm not sure how to translate the word "like" yet, as in the sentence, "The=
y=20
whet their tongues like swords.")
