| Introduction | This is a language that I started making for fun last summer (2002). I wanted to create this language for entertainment, but now the project is starting to consume my free time, but it is still fun to work on. I have already translated John 3:16 (NIV), Hamlet's Soliloquy (Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, William Shakespeare), and the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17, NIV). |

| Description Of Update | Incorrect grammar: all adjectives end with an accented "a" (a'). Totom (meaning: total) needed to be changed to totoma' in verse 1 and 9 since total is an adjective. |
