Fukhian: `Dzafnhegl.' love.1PERS.NOM.you.ACC. Tyl-Sjok: `Jet je jo.' [Love you.PAT] I.PAT (Most verbs connected to sentient beings start with j-, that's why.) Or, more pathetically: `jet je ul jo.' "Love to you harasses me." Or: `jet je nen jo.' "Love to you pleases me." Depending on context, of course. :-] And finally, if you *think* you control it: `jo jet je.' Obviously, that's unlikely and neither convincing nor romantic. **Henrik
