I am afraid I'm a semi-plagiarist; p. 125 of TKW translates "Survival must be
earned." as <yInIu'taH 'e' bajnISlu'> I substituted <Sov> for <yInIu'taH>,
knowledge for survival. Now I thought I was just making a noun for a noun
swap, making the sentence "Knowledge must be earned". Somehow I confused you
to the point of misrecognizing a canonical phrase, sorry. What should I do
to <Sov> to make it fit the rest; <... 'e' bajnISlu'>?
