RE: Need translation, having problems....




1)  ta'mey jatlh law' mu'mey jatlh buS, SuvwI'Hommey.
  -- Deeds speak more than words, little warriors.

2)  ta'mey tam buS mu'mey tam law', SuvwI'Hommey.
  -- Deeds are less quiet than words, little warriors.

3)  ta'mey chuS law' mu'mey chuS buS, SuvwI'Hommey.
  -- Deeds make more noise than words, little warriors.

Any better ones????
----------
Don't know if it's better but how about:

SuvwI'pu' mach
naDtaH ta'mey 'ach naDbe' mu'mey neH

- Deeds are continually praised but words alone are not, little warriors

I think that [SuvwI'Hom] might be inerpretted as an insult.
But then again you might have intended it as an insult
If you are talking to children then perhaps [SuvwI'pu' mach]
would be a better choice.  As I understand it the suffix [-mey]
for a child would mean "scattered about".  [-pu'] is the plural for
beings capable of language.  I don't know if [-mey] is acceptable 
on [SuvwI'] *even* if it is intended as an insult.

As for the comma punctuation I don't understand if it is allowed or
not.  If not is it reasonable to put [SuvwI'pu' mach] on a separate line
even if it is not a complete sentence but only used in addressing those
you are speaking to?
