RINJURA LUHUWI

The asterisked items would require special explanation, as in the previous
post.

Abbreviations self-explanatory? Is this too clear?  Still obscure?  I
realize Kash is fairly straightforward (IMHO!), and other conlangs might
require far more explanatory apparatus.

At some point, I'll post the whole poem and the source.
