An intrepid sleuth has given me the author's email contact info. Thank
you, Ruben.
Now, what do people think I should suggest for "I like to mate after battle"?
There are several ways to render "after battle" ({jISuvpu'DI'},
{rInDI' may'}, etc.) I think "[I] mate [with unspecified person]" has
to be {jIngagh} and "I like to [do something]" is {'e' vItIv}.
rInDI' may' jIngagh 'e' vItIv.
jISuvpu'DI' jIngagh 'e' vItIv.
Does anyone have better suggestions?
