From: Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org>

I was trying to translate:

"Get off my car or I'll crack your head open with this baseball bat."

I chose to ignore 'baseball bat' in favor of 'big stick', but here's my
result:

.o'onai ko na zutse lo mi karce seki'unai lo nu porpi le do stedu pi'o
lo barda grana

Does seki'unai do what I want? Any other ways to handle it?

-Robin
