I'm late because I waited for Mr. Valoczy's birthday, of course. :) Lacking all words that have something to do with good, happy, birth or even year, and since the Mamqosians, not knowing exact calendar, only have birth-approximately-anniversaries, I think I must "impor... impro... make something up" (quoting a friend), but a birthday simply can't go uncelebrated. :) Thus, in Mamqosian: D'kekeštayr tauw han! /d?kekeStayr tauw han/ May this day give you(plural) delight! Or, I might as well be polite: D'kekešir tauw han hirey! D'kekešir hirey - may it make you smile. :) --- -Maija Åstrand P.S. Should š, the sh-letter be considered a tricky code, or is it readable? _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
