Is this supposed to be {qatlh ghItlh SaHbe' veqlargh} "Why doesn't the devil
care about a manuscript? or {ghItlh Qatlhbe' SaH'a' veqlargh} "Does the
devil care about a difficult manuscript}?
}chaq 'oH *halloween* yot yablI'?
"Perhaps Hallowe'en is invading your mind"? Say {chaq yablIj yotlI'
*Hallowe'en*} The thing that is invaded goes before the verb and the thing
doing the invading goes after it. To give the idea of ongoing invading,
don't add a pronoun, use an aspect suffix. {lI'} implies a process of invasion.

I can't figure out what you're trying to say here.
} *death* --Heghna',Heghbej,Heghchu',HeghlI',Heghlu',
Note that some of these are verbs and some nouns. Tamise I believe had found
the noun death and the verb die, but as looking for a verb "be dead," which
we don't have.
} *alive* --yInna',yInbej,yInchu',yInlI',yInlu'
Again, some are nouns and some are verbs and the differnce is important.
} 'oH Qub mu'vam ta' ngoQlI'
"Your goal's accomplishment of this word thinks it." ??
Not sure what you are getting at here. Note that the possessive suffix
{-lI'} only goes on things that can talk. If the thing owned isn't a
person, use {-lIj}.
The posting you answered was a KLBC. Please try to wait until I've had a
chance at KLBCs, to avoid confusing beginners.
