Very formal, bookish, a little archaic: lenjisale añapral yarakop
(because of the use of the -ale 'gerund/infinitive' form.
More up to date: lenjis añapral yarakop ("yarakop" could also be first;
lenjis 'to repair' < leñ+cis 'good+again')

Not sure what Kash playing cards are like, and I doubt they play bridge :-)
; "suits" could be called aran 'name' or naya 'sort, kind' or kuni(ç)
'color(s)' or who knows what. So, something like aran/naya/kuni mingip '...
minor/insignificant' OR ... mimik '...little' maybe a compd.
arambik/nayambik/kunimbik  ????

literal: harep (sovare) alo hañoni 'withdraw (sword) from sheath' OR
rumbefa sovare(ni) 'to free/release sword(-his/the)' (caus. of pefa 'free,
loose')
"To sheathe" I think would be "to cover (sword)"
