Verimak in Nedm

Here's the Nedm translation of Verimak.  I used the modal verb j "to not do"=20
and the suffix =F3yon "from now on" (normally tenses are modal prefixes and=20
aspects are modal aspects, but in this case I wasn't sure which one "from no=
w=20
on" is.  Help, please?) to translate the word verimak
Also, I was wondering what the names of Nedm vowel sounds are.  They go as=20
follows:
a=09as in at
=E1=09as in buy
e=09as in get
=E9=09as in pay
i=09as in in
y=09as in be
o=09as in on
=F3=09as in go
u=09as in but
=FA=09as in too
=FC=09as in good
au=09as in how
aw=09as in awful


j=F3yon

j=F3yon  m=FAxy gev voxy=20
h=E9l roxa=FEy kydivy kadeslymu
k=F3 m=E9o k=E1piv bokaru fypet
k=F3m c=E9s la

j=F3yon m=FAxyax =F0ijy pety=E9
k=F3 manmaz k=FAy gr feny

kam sakindy hos jornty

j=F3yon m=FAxy gon kafyn
j=E9l hwis kakocko am=FAxy
=FAjo m=FAxyaj, v=E1bomom, b=FAmukom
k=F3hor fun=FAal e saual
n=E9digy punj, oyev, galmen
=FAz =E1roko t=FApr=FCt bedyin
=E1z=E9 voz rosk

and the interlinear:

> VERIMAK
no longer
j=F3yon
not.from-now-on
>
> Kale ilid vepat verimak vrydaf
heat of-the sun no longer fear-imp.
j=F3yon  m=FAxy gev voxy=20
present.don't.from-now-on fear heat sun.genitive=20

fear, "m=FAxy" comes from "xwy m=FA", literally "stare below."  I am present=
ly=20
attempting to shift more towards verbs created from prepositions and verbs=20
with more metaphorical meanings.

> ro* nivvuo*rod ilid tenuo tehsat.
or tantrums of the winter rage
h=E9l roxa=FEy kydivy kadeslymu
or tantrum.plural rage-genitive attributive-winter.

again, kydiv (rage) is a compound "ky div" meaning "very anger".  "dy" also=20
indicates the expression of a feeling.  By unintentional coincidence, the=20
plural ending -y is identical to the genitive singular ending -y, similar to=20
the English-s/-'s.

=F0=FAgw=E9, literally "make/do without", is almost always used with the neg=

modal verb -j-.  This makes the sentence mean literally "don't worry about=20
that which you can't live/do without"
