I have a poem in English with a Rokbeigalmki title, although unlike your
Skerre works, it is meant to be produced by my conculture.  It's called
"_Sudkadme nga'Fiizhagt-a_, ya'Stiigiyus" - "_Preceding the Time of
Battle_, by Stygius".  Since it was originally written in English, it
sounds better than the Rokbeigalmki "original" that i've worked on a
little bit.
