Toma Heylm doesn't have any greetings yet, but a semi-formal farewell is:

        lo delye sa manyok leheya (to a male)
        lo delye sa manil leheya (to a female)
        lhi delye sa manrai leheya (to more than one person)

Means "May you live happily".

The farewell in mërèchi is "é dla".  It looks like it should mean
something, but it doesn't.

Odd that I never make up greetings, just farewells.  And poems about
farewells.  I ought to make a poem about greeting instead.
