Up to the community, I suppose. If I will include sample reading passages,
the answer is no, but that won't affect the English-language content. I am
waiting for two swathes of comments, from Nora and John; Nora's just sent
comments on lessons 1-7. I will let people know when this is finalised; it
is unlikely to be before I leave on Nov. 4.

Btw, Bjoern Gohla has already started on translating the lessons, though I
think the mutability of the lessons stopped him. :-) You may wish to
coordinate with him.

I don't see how you can avoid translating the gi'uste.

Upon completing His outburst, God fell silent, standing quietly at the
podium for several moments. Then, witnesses reported, God's shoulders
began to shake, and He wept.
