- Hmm...in Rokbeigalmki: AoléLesnám uzoi-dadeiyus oi-ilkao. Which is actually slightly different, it means "artistic-creation of languages makes [people/someone] happy every-where/when". AOLÉ = artistic-creation (construct form) LESNÁ|M = language|s (construct form) UZ = it (neuter) OI = present-routine tense DA_ = (causative, from DAL "give") DEIYUS = happiness (DADEIYUS = [to] gladden) OI- = (same tense marker as before, used now in both a time and place "general, all over / routinely" sense) ILKAO = everywhere-and-everywhen -Stephen (Steg) "mai hhazit, dedama didakh sumaq ttefei?"
