Note that this is not exactly what the original says ("vatehi lahem
halevena le'aven"). It's more like
le takybli cu me ko'e moi rokci
me ko'e moi fa le takybli fe loi rokci (closest to the original
word order & grammar)
or (if you hate <me SUMTI moi>)
le takybli cu se pilno ko'e le nu rokci
Also, why use the peBAI construction when 'lo staku poi basti lo
rokci' is clear and uncontroversial?
