&gt;We have no idea what "rovaka" might be, <br><br>How about one of the following:<br><br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp; ra'bogh qa' <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "the spirit that commands (the fire for inventing)"<br><br>or<br><br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp; Dabogh qa'<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "the spirit that acts as (the fire for inventing)"<br><br>or even<br><br>3.&nbsp;&nbsp; tova' qa'<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "the ?muse (of the fire for inventing)" where the {tova'} element <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; is the same as the first part of the compound noun {tova'Daq}, i.e.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "mindsharing”<br><br>&gt;and we have some theories about "zhonazhazh" but nothing definite. <br><br>It's probably more than one word, the possibilities including:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {Son/jon/chon/San/jan/chan} and {'oghjaj/'aghjaj/'oSjaj}<br><br>Assuming it's {'oghjaj} or {'aghjaj}, {Dev[=De'?]wI'} zhonazhah} could be:<br><br>4.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' chon 'oghjaj/'aghjaj<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May it invent/display a leader's/leaders' hunt" <br><br>5.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' jan 'oghjaj/'aghjaj<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May it invent/display a computer device" <br><br>6.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' San 'oghjaj/'aghjaj<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May it invent/display a leader's/leaders' fate" <br><br>7.&nbsp;&nbsp; De' wIy jan 'oghjaj/'aghjaj<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May it invent/display an information tactical display device"<br><br>However, the subject of the verb {'aghjaj} could also be the next word(s),<br>i.e. {?guib lo...}<br><br>&gt;I think the second line begins in &lt;Q&gt; for sure; O'Reilly pronounces &lt;Qa'Hom&gt; <br>&gt;like "gwaaahom", so "gwee" is almost certainly &lt;QI&gt;. He sounds like he's <br>&gt;saying "gweev" &lt;QIv?&gt;. <br><br>Or {qIb} - "galaxy", followed by {lo'} or {logh}. Putting it all together the line could <br>also be:<br><br>8.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' chon 'aghjaj qIb (logh)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (space of the) galaxy display a leader's/leaders' hunt" <br><br>9.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' jan 'aghjaj qIb (logh)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (space of the) galaxy display a computer device" <br><br>10.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' San 'aghjaj qIb (logh)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (space of the) galaxy display a leader's/leaders' fate" <br><br>11.&nbsp;&nbsp; De' wIy jan 'aghjaj qIb (logh)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (space of the) galaxy display an information tactical display device"<br><br>The problem is that interpretations 8 - 11 seem closest in meaning to "A kingdom <br>for a stage", which comes later in the original text.<br><br>Assuming the verb which appears in the line under consideration is {'oSjaj} <br>followed by {qIb lo'}, the line could also be:<br><br>12.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' chon 'oSjaj qIb (lo')<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (use of the) galaxy represent a leader's/leaders' hunt" <br><br>13.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' jan 'oSjaj qIb (lo')<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (use of the) galaxy represent a computer device" <br><br>14.&nbsp;&nbsp; DevwI' San 'oghjaj qIb (lo')<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (use of the) galaxy represent a leader's/leaders' fate" <br><br>15.&nbsp;&nbsp; De' wIy jan 'oghjaj qIb (lo')<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "May the (use of the) galaxy represent an information tactical display device"<br><br>Obviously {qIb} and {lo'} could simply mean "It (i.e. the {qa'}) uses the galaxy".<br>Alternatively {qIb} and {lo'/logh} could belong with the fragment that follows. <br><br>'ISqu'<br><br> 		 	   		  </div></body>
