very tentative Hadwan:  "[Ish] lóbô tsî."

(where pro-dropping is optional;  also <sh> should be s-acute, <ts> 'c' with
a dot above, and the circumflexes macrons... obviously not in email, but in
Idealist's typography)

[ish]       lóbô            tsî
[IS]        'lU.Bu:         tsi:
[1P-SG-NOM] love-IND.ACT-1S 2P-SG-ACC

[Tentative, because I still haven't technically worked out the pronouns.
<lobits>, however, would be a certain verb (from a sure Proto-H root *ljuB-
'love, care, show concern for') but it hasn't made its way in my run-through
yet...]

     *Muke!
