Manayang!
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:

For what it's worth. Not completely word-by-word:

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
