I will let you know of specific parts I don't really what the

clarification on.
Don't hesitate to ask me. And the process of making up words sounds also
interesting if you have the chance of explaining that to me.
The first part is not clear to me.
> Rukous / The Prayer:
I'm not sure what word to use for "prayer" here, since the speaker
(Godot) doesn't seem to be begging or asking anything. I'm currently
using "nu pikci", but this implies that something is being asked for.

What does this mean? Is it merely a clarification that the following
prayer is unchanged from the way it was? It's not part of the prayer
itself, right?

"In descendant" confuses me. Does it mean "there is some quality in
decendants, namely they are similar to their ancestors? Please clarify.

What is "this" ?
