In Géarthnuns: Öçek la chü zhbelísfaiksüt chak nunsang hühebrügrakh...öçek la sau mölkarharsaut hütíornath! you-nom/sing present-aux the extinction-acc the-pl language-gen/pl fight-imperative... you-nom/sing pres-aux a language-acc create-imp More pithy for a T-shirt, if more colloquial: Chü zhbelísfaiksüt chak nunsang hühebrügrakh... sau mölkarharsaut hütíornath! And with the native script munching up the digraphs (and h's are superscripts), you'd probably save an additional 15-odd typing spaces. Kou
