Re: translation exercise

In Omeina:

Mali ano midanin aluinalde aldiro

[know] [the one, the person] [Aux 'want, hope' - 1ps subj - 3ps obj -
relative suffix] [bring - abstract noun - dative] [dwelling - my - adessive]

Or in other words, "I know the one that I want for the bringing to my home"
Since word order is fairly free and Omeina likes phrase-final auxiliaries,
"Mali ano aluinalde aldiro midanin" is just as grammatical.
