Hi,
I'll do one of these to exercise my Labarion a little for my next
round in the relay.

>> 1. to calculate
deliet - count, calculate

>> As a magistrate, I must calculate the amount of surplus food the
>> area creates.
Vergobretos buti, veravillon ver me essi deltou imbeton betodruelvi

>> I just hope they don't manage to besiege the place.

Hm. I think I need more exercise. And more words. But I got a handful
of new ones here.
