Wow, if anyone can just go ahead and use Taruven to translate
something it's gotta be more complete than I thought. *Much*
more. Getting it right even (expect for the -ru which is
redundant since the relative clause is already modifying
"etširis" and a time/location/movement-affix don't *need* a -ru
anywhere, it can connect off of the root of the sentence-tree...
gotta write that down somewhere.) Wow.
And wow, how compact :)
Conculturally though, there turned out to be plenty of enemies
yet to beat even after immortality had been achieved ;)
t., flabbergasted
