'ej Dojmey wID - vInDa'ma' peq.
He has killed many of our people.
("and he massacred multitudes - he slaughtered our compatriots") STID
Also {Dojmey} "mass, masses, multitude, a very large but indeterminate group of something (people or otherwise)"
Lieven (11/11/2013): This word is derived from {Doj} "batch, pile, heap, accumulation" plus {-mey}, the general plural suffix. Even if referring only to beings capable of using language, one would normally not say Dojpu'.
Do not confuse with the verb {Doj} "be impressive".
