It's nearly 3 in the morning and I've just had this minor brainstorm that
won't let me get to sleep until I get it out of my system.  How about:

    mi tcidu ba'o lenu no'a           I read again
    mi su'oroi tcidu ba'o lenu no'a   I read again (emphasis on repetition)
    mi paroi tcidu ba'o lenu no'a     I read once again

Comments appreciated (especially on the use of no'a), and suggestions on how
to reduce the translation of "again" to less than 6 (or 9) syllables will be
gratefully received :-)
