    I haven't been doing any translations recently for the list due =
mostly
to time constraints, but I think I can handle this one.
    In Gladilatian "Jennifer Barefoot" is:

sa Exenyfr we Mrhamra Fsuhstaop.

"Sa...we" is a conjunction.  "Exenyfr" is just "Jennifer" mangled to fit
Gladilatian morphology.  "Mr" is "not".  "Hamra" is "covered".  "Fsu" is
"two" (you can think of it as a dual marker).  "Hsta" is "foot".  "Op"
converts a common noun to a proper noun (essentially).  An alternate =
trans-
lation of "Barefoot" would be "Mrhamra Fratfsuhsa Uop", meaning "One with
bare feet.", i.e. the name refers to the barefoot person and not to the =
feet
themselves.  Translation of names is pretty loose, though, and gladifers
would be more likely to use the first version.
