batlh choja', Richard Kennaway quv:
='etlhmo' SuvwI' wa'DIch qIp SuvwI' cha'DIch
'etlhmo' for "with a sword". Very very interesting...
=QuchDajDaq ghor'eghqu' 'etlh 'ej rIQta'be'
ghor'egh? Perhaps. I'd prefer ghor and ghormoH myself, but there you go...
=yay Suq SuvwI' cha'DIch
Finally, a Zen tale I fail to get. ;) Reminds me of that bit in Terry
Pratchett's Mort where Mort is apprenticing to the Grim Reaper, who makes
him clean out his stables. Mort thinks of all the possible Zen-ish
ramifications of being forced to undergo this test, rejects them, and when
Death asks him WHY HE MADE HIM MUCK OUT THE STABLES, he answers "I think
it was because you were up to your knees in horse-dung." 'ej QIchvam
jatlhmo' *mort*, vaj quv suq ;)
