/ǂ/ is a post alveolar click.

"J" is the approximate commonly known in English as 'y', just for clarification. It has the same written character as 's' and is used when placed after a consonant. It is just the 's' other wise.

Two of the same vowel in a row results in a slight break between the two. For simplicity I will use an apostrophe when writing with English characters.

Efa mjo ges kuo chatrake i'ies

"I'll swim and sail on savage seas with never a fear of drowning; and gladly ride the waves of life if you would marry me. No scorching sun nor freezing cold will stop me on my journey if you will promise me your heart and love me for eternity.

My dearest one, my darling dear your mighty words astound me. But I've no need for mighty deeds when I feel your arms around me.

But I would bring you rings of gold. I'd even sing you poetry and I would keep you from all harm if you would stay beside me.

I have no use for rings of gold. I care not for your poetry. I only want your hand to hold. I only want you near me.

To love and kiss to sweetly hold for the dancing and the dreaming. Through all life's sorrows and delights. I'll keep your laugh inside me. I'll swim and sail a savage seas with never a fear of drowning. I'd gladly ride the waves so white, and you will marry me!"
