Here's more of what I fooled around with, that got eaten by the misconfigured
machine:

>> "My god, the duchess is pregnant, and no-one knows by >> whom."
Lakhavala: E revo, e balrevo, yhei liyhitati yaazhi ngoia, tau eiwapei ya nyaberi yhe ta'ia E revo e balrevo yhei liyhitati yaazhi O sun-goddess, O sister-sun, to the midwife/chieftainess there may be ngoia tau ei- wapei children (-a for euphony) they don't know (ei- prefixed negative) ya nyaberi yhe ta'ia which man is the father (conculture: Both the sun and the binary are worshipped, the sun as the mother goddess, the sister-sun as the guardian of desires, unfulfilled wishes and the unfulfillable wishes.) birch - hilen, a birch-analog, and clothes are made out of hilen cloth. forest - launered; lau - tree, nered - group, cluster (itaynered - village) (conculture: Lakhabrech don't as a rule eat vegetation, so anything even romtely viewed as prey's food is yhe khavh aru khavh - the prey's prey.) -- Mau e ki, "He aha to mea nui?" You ask, "What is the most important thing?" Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!" I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people!"
