Perhaps it's my ignorance, but most of this is gibberish to me. For
instance, {ghach jIvvo' naH}: /Fruit from is ignorant -ation./

The only complete sentences I can make out are these.
{DaH pIghvamDaq So''eghtaH.} /Now he is hiding (himself) in these ruins./
{qatlh DISaH?} /Why do we care about them?/ (or "why should we...")
{potlhmo' batlh, vIqawba'.} /Because honor is important, obviously we
remember it./ (or him/her/them... the context makes it unclear to me)

There are plenty of words and apparent words I can't find in any reference,
like jIvuylaH: I can {?vuy}. Also {?ve'}
{?yI'} {wID} {peq} {chIw} {?chI} {chuD} {lIb} {bam}, and the closest I can
come to making sense of {vInDa'ma'} is /our cousin-corporal/.
There are also verbs with noun suffixes, {jIvvo'}, {Dojmey} and {vum'e'},
and suffixes unattached to root words, {ghach} and {Hey}.

Is this dialogue as awful a mess as it seems to me, or am I totally missing
something?
