I got bit by the translation bug again (met a friend who tests Paratext
yesterday) and ran into a phrase that seems too wordy when translated. It's
Luke 15:5, which I translated like this:  

.i ca lo nu tolcri kei bevri ly. fi'o terpe'u lo birjanco  

Is there a shorter way to say this?

"Original":

kai heurōn epitithēsin epi tous ōmous autou [ http://biblehub.com/interlinear/luke/15.htm ]

And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders of him

ije ca lo co'i tolcri cu punji fi lo birjanco be vo'a

Since aorist is perfective then {co'i} is to be used.
