In Diom:

Conaetai shalostal, tae pavaeda ait at.

"(If one) will find happiness, then seek it not."

Conae - t - ai                     shal   -    ost         -     al ,
find   - 3rd - FUT/SUBJ    happy - abstract noun - ACC/SING

tae   pavae - d - a      ait            at.
then  seek - 3rd - IMP  it/ACC     NEG.


pas- "to go, to move about"
vaed- "to see"
pavaed- "to move around in order to see something, to seek"

pavaeda is accented on the final syllable because of the imperative.

Remember, in my spelling convention:
c is pronounced /k/
ae is pronounced /e/
