My current attempt is a translation is of:

"Man= 's mind is his basic tool of survival"
(Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugge= d)

I have decided to use "prenu" as the translation of &qu= ot;Man".

My translation is:

jicmu pilno lo menli be lo prenu be'o lo = za'i renvi

I have intentionally left two blanks here; both of wh= ich are
intended to be clearly intended to be filled with the same
"lo prenu" that is a linked sumti of "lo menli": one is= the
first place of "pilno" the other is the first place of th= e
abstracted "renvi".
=A0 I would think you would be better off moving the lo prenu ou= t of the be level and making it the x1 of the main bridi ("lo prenu cu= jicmu pilno lo menli lo za'i renvi") since a) who else's mind= would he use? and b) you want to make as assertion ("Man basically us= es a mind for survival"), not just an observative ("There's a= basic user of a mind of man for survival").=A0 But if you want to kee= p the emphasis of the original, put the mind up front: "lo menli be lo= prenu cu jicmu tutci lo z'i renvi")
