Hey, it amazed me, too :) .  That's why it's the first original text, i
had never been able to do that before.  Although while i was writing it i
kept on wanting to put the word  "remain" into it, but there's no word in
Rokbeigalmki for "remain" yet.  So i just used the verbless form of "to
be (at)" and it came out better.

Talking about which, Rokbeigalmki now finally has a word for "sibling",
thanks to my friend Karen's little brother Ro`i (that's Israeli Hebrew,
[Ro 'i], /R/ = uvular R).  It's _ro.ijh_ /ro?iZ/ (/r/ = flap R).
Although maybe i should have used his name for a word for "pyromaniac" :)
