In Yivríndil, "daroivosa." Lit "to my happiness". The asking formula
goes:
When asking, say, "talma'ísona", lit. "by your grace"
The one giving then says "enaivona", lit "by my pleasure," and gives
what's asked for. If the giver must refuse, he says, "iloivona, al mét"
lit. "by my sorrow, I cannot."
The one receiving then says, "daroivosa," lit. "to my happiness."
