Re: Introduction:Blessing ...

I liked this so much that I actually created a few new
roots and translated it into Oreelynna. (I hope you
don't mind :) )

Oreelynna version (doubled vowels and consonants are
lengthened; |dh| = [D]; |th| = [T]:

tothaada y avando kul
Bless the Lord you

tohunda y avando kelky
Go the Lord with-you

todalanda y avando kael dynuethel odhe elodhe
Give the Lord you things all joyful

todanda y avando naalunnaar kul vo galenena tylodhe
Receive the Lord into-Heaven you after life long

[This makes my first post of a text in Oreelynna. I am
still not convinced about multiple adjectives
following the noun; as the construction here (odhe
elodhe) is a bit weird. Anyway, hopefully more to come
in the future.)
