In Rokbeigalmki:

_^ao''le''dhei^ilmal-a, emze-aole!_

ao''le''dh = conlanger, from _ao''le_, short for "^aole^lesna(m)"
"creation of language(s)", plus _-dh_ agent ending.
ilmal = world, from _amal_ "earth, ground, land" and _ilu_ "all, every".
-a = the

emze- = imperative plural, _emz_ = you-all and _e_ imperative 'tense'
vowel
aole = artistic creation


The Rokbeigalmki translation plays on the accident that _aole_ "artistic
creation" /awlE/ and _ao''le_ "conlang" /a:wlE:/ are the same word except
that the abbreviation is stressed.
