Rihana-ye:
I know who I want to take me home.
Seka sebasa-de seka febo-mi givajo-si ba jivajo.
I (fem.sing,) home-to me taking desired-is man know.
After struggling with this, I must say I agree it is not obvious. The
vocabulary was easy--I did not have to generate any new words--but the "natural"
word order and for that matter some of the verb forms for Rihana-ye were very
uncertain.
