Hmm. Interesting that I should try to translate (mej) as "flee", but
failed to look up "flee" in the dictionary. Of course, I meant...

I must've thought (jang) was also a noun for a moment. Your suggestion
is not quite what I was going for. I wanted something more along the

that they may be wrong, she is none-the-less willing to allow everyone
to see her actions, for better or worse." How about...
