Only a fool fights in a burning house, but it takes a hero to go after
the fool.
By rewording to make it work I came up with:
meQtaHbogh qachDaq Suv qoH neH 'ach toDmeH qoH tlha' Sub'e'
Only a fool fights in a burning house, but only a hero follows in
order to save him
If any one can think of a better way of doing it I need to reply in
the next 2 hours so email me direct [email protected] as I only get
the digest version of the list.
Generally I would also like to know if I've made any blunders
Thanks in advance
qe'San
