Silvia, I think you're probably right that vyl = some form of "to be" (am, is, was, were), but until we know for sure, I really think we should leave it wide open or even off this translations page. Even getting the tense wrong might lead us to make incorrect assumptions down the line, so I think we should leave speculation to the forums and only post here what we're 100% sure of. - Molecularr
Auxiliary/modal verbs
Ruk man you esutl seek thyr jalun you to the ishka of the eutshoo.
Esutl would almost have to be an auxiliary verb, no? I can't think of any other words that would make sense in context.
Off the top of my head, possibilities are:
- must
- should
- will
- would
- could
- shall
- can
- may
Possibly also "need" -- "the man you need seek" would be a bit archaic sounding, but...
I'm also going to guess thyr = "will" and jalun = "lead." Phaedra 15:15, 31 October 2006 (MST)
