ghItlh Kordite:
\ "Blood calls for blood."
\
\ The piece of paper my comrade handed me said: <'Iw pong 'IwvaD>
\
\ Pretty horrible, right? Well, here's my attempt.
\
\ <'Iw majachmeH 'Iw Suqmo'>
\ "We call out for blood because they obtained blood."
\
\ How did I do?
I like the meaning of your recasting, though your tlhIngan Hol for it is a bit
off. I'll let charghwI' correct your grammar, but I wanted to share
my own first thought on a translation, which is less wordy but also arguably
English-idiomatic:
'Iw DIllaH 'Iw neH Only blood can pay for blood
Just a thought.
