1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love,
I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
'ach:Conjunction
but, nevertheless, even so, however
^^^
This perhaps should be (and now is):
QI'tu' Holmey ghot Holmey je vIlo'chugh, 'ach parmaq vIghajbe'chugh, vaj
jIchuSchoHqu'
I intended "If I speak the languages of people and paradise, but I don't
have love, then I become noisy"

It serves, at least to me, to remind me not to worry about this stuff.
(rejmorgh SoHchoHchugh, vaj yInlIj ghur'a'?) Love matters far more. And
yes, par'mach is probably the wrong word for the agape' stuff Paul was
writing about, but we don't have a good contender for that yet, anyway.
