Just in case you need these slogans translated in people's
conlangs. Here are translations into those two languages of
mine whose grammar is actually usable:

Ayeri: Miranayam cepauarà naranoaris. ,mi.ra.na.'jAm 'ke.pA.'wa.ra na.'ra.no.'a.rIs That gives some new vocab: +dileng, ni, rule +menya, prn, one (as an anaphora) +pendamáo, v, to craft +rasva, to fight against +eqetva, to make => _na_, 'a' can also be used as an anaphora. Cheers, Carsten -- "Miranayam cepauarà naranoaris." (Calvin nay Hobbes)
