=Csitame wanted to understand his distress.  She saw that he
was of a race called Fahses, so she went to the planet in a Fahs
body.  When she met him she could understand his Fahs
"language" (the meaning of his sounds and movements).  [I
could not find a word for 'meaning' or a reasonable equivalent or
recasting.  Suggestions?]  He was sad because the people
thought that Fahses could not think.  He was angry because he
could not change this fact.  When he was looking at the sun, he
was wondering why the gods did not change it.  If gods even
existed!  He thought he was alone.

=He didn't know that this animal was actually a star.  He only
saw a female Fahs who was alone too.  They understood each
other though they had no words.  They became beloveds [I
didn't think that was a bad rendering of 'they fell in love'] and
they mated.
