Mastèntares gent marnes. Està tir te da sis arsinacs, mà erds eu gent.
Capitals are great. But concerning capitals, well, we can't say the same.

Hello. I don't live in a capital because you guys destroyed my people and have dominated us, so we have no capital.

Hello. I don't live in a capital because we don't have one. We don't have one because we aren't swamp-dwellers. Capitals are their thing.

(no, I don't think I'll make that orthographic change after all...)

I don't live in a capital because the city where I live simply isn't a capital.

One of the capitals where I live in is a rose of fire. The other one is a horse of foam.

Danz falde*.
I sell beard*.


*My intention was to say "I sell cheap", but since the dictionary doesn't have a word for "cheap" yet I'm forced to use the word that would fall below it.

Zha tebali. (Es qamre hachek, 'te-', amretu gqaru, ras 'me-' ras 'tu-', teha. Dama /b/ murax /m/ sha /r/ photslu, ma <amre>, ras <ambre>, gorluts. Xurantsdamx.)
I borrowed it. (Haceks are standing, so they take 'te-', the topic marker for things that are standing, not 'me-' or 'tu-'. Also, /b/ between /m/ and /r/ isn't written, hence <amre> instead of <ambre> for [ambrɛ]. Less French.)

We're talking about slavery, and you're still pontificating about breathing tone marks? Moldbug must be racked with disappointment.
