{jub} "be immortal" and {jubbe'} "be mortal" have never been used in a sentence as verbs, but the nomen agentis {jubbe'wI'} "a mortal (person)" has:
lojmItDaj veghta'DI' jubbe'wI'
yInqa'meH chegh 'e' botnIS qotar
qeylIS HoHmeH qotar qeylIS SamnIS
Still, Kotar cannot let a mortal
Pass his gates and return alive,
Kahless must be hunted down and killed. (PB, p.??)
Cultural notes:
TKW 15: Great accomplishments are commonly immortalized in song ... Because songs are repeated, the same way proverbs are repeated, they help to preserve tradition as well as to teach the young.
