Re: odd phrase/translation exercise

Hi!

*Sigh*

I'm not a native speaker; I forgot a morpheme:

 (w/y) and (k/i) is also both hybrid phonemes.  (w/y) is
 dropped, (k/i) changes /a/ to /ai/ here.

'Philosopher' is thus literally: 'a person who (duratively) thinks
about the connotation/meaning of the timeless [concept of] life.'  There
is also a stem 'to exist' in Qthyn|gai, but maybe I'll replace it by
life+aorist.  We'll see.
