Well, I'll be damned! It's nearly completely parallel to my Reman version:
Kombat i delecho i lengar: feng leng!
And I could have made it even more parallel by using mur: death, instead of
delecho: destruction. The most impressive thing is the resemblance between
"feng" and "ffingeth". "Feng" is the imperative of fengri: to imagine (it comes
from Latin IIRC), does your "ffingeth" have the same origin?
