Wē yētham?
Is that so?

That verb should be yatham, I think, though the morphophonology is so forbidding that I’ve long given up trying to translate anything into this language.

Naaya bey daa yaaq?
How so, exactly?

And this one is missing a verb: I’d go with Naaya bey mbu ni waq yaaq?, myself. In response to which I submit that:

Thank you :). Sajiwan is about nine or just ten years old, and I've been writing Sajiwan here as long. So it isn't new! Sajiwan is an a posteriori Caribbean English Creole, which is spoken in Sajiwa, an island in the Caribbean Sea (near Jamaica). I'd be interested to know about Cedara. What kind of language is it?

Ahe, teuas eue.

teue = because of you (CAUS.2S.ACS)

ieue = DAT.2P.ACS
eue = DAT.2S.ACS

That would be correct except that you used jo, the accusative complementiser, instead of a first person singular nominative pronoun (na or nu).

Kua xaba xu laqu ieui ⲛ̀ⲥⲓⲱⲑⲓ [ᵊn.sjo:.t^hi] !
Happy Sothic New Year!


⁂ BTW: Could not find translation for "Sirius" or "Dog Star", or "Egypt"

The position of ⲛ̀ⲥⲓⲱⲑⲓ after ieui makes it part of its nominal phrase, meaning “May the year make you who are Sothic happy.” It should go after laqu. There’s no equivalent to “new” here either, but I don’t have my dictionary with me and don’t remember what it was, and I suspect “begin to be year” is a better way to express it. It would Iliaquise as nxoti.

I think I might need to go to a dentist, but after having grown up in the US, I always worry that prices at the doctor will be extremely high. (I also would have to make a reservation by phone, and I dislike talking to unknown people on the phone.)
