The extra line in Cein: "A feg a hoddan sen i lyssamm ang new." Interlinear: a feg a hoddan sen i lyssamm ang new and sword:PL and warrior:PL in the womb iron of-me 'And swords and warriors in my iron womb.' I had to coin the word 'womb', which I made out of _llys_ 'new life' and _samm_ 'room, chamber'. So 'womb' is literally 'room of new life'. ||| daniel -- <> Mad llammgalf! <> daniel.andreasson@telia.com <> <> Ond llamm! <> www.geocities.com/conlangus <>
