As observed by Tack's translation of GPS unit (gak uckick)/GPS units (gak ucktam) and poison dart (posik dalrak)/poison darts (poksik daltam), plurals are treated differently. No verification if this "-tam" suffix is common in more plurals. It is clearly not used for some berries (sikmog bakrakicksik) --Lint 01:26, 12 May 2006 (BST)

Eh. Can anyone translate this for me? "nik sikfal hokrak...gak SIK tam dalhok" (Yes I'm asking for help.) Josef 02:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Can't be sure, but I'd say it's something like "not safe here...go S to durham" - of course, I could be wrong since there's no 100% reliable way to reverse the translation. --Simon 08:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Outsider to Native
After exorcising a spirit, I got the following message from an outsider. "Thinuh yun for cushuringger orr ar barhumshureth shurrar, yun ar wuhlunorreth thi thi arnuhing thiar thi humeth hum." I'm guessing it says: "Thank you for banishing/exorcising the spirit, your welcome in this hut." I don't know what arnuhing or thiar could mean. Theres more though: "Ar orr yunuh raruhthi wuhlun bar mun, ar ING ar shurrar thiar ING ar uhbar thi uheththidu yun puthputhlun.” Any idea? --Wulla-mullung 01:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
