Yes, well, I looked, but I couldn't find a version that wasn't using the Hebrew alphabet. I tried! Really! Plus, you know, the whole male/female thing. I tended to not include ones that required gender identification. Ah. Yes, well, I looked, but I couldn’t find a version that wasn’t using the Hebrew alphabet. I tried! Really!

Another in Lakhota ("Sioux" is a bit of a weird generalization for some of us) is a term of endearment. Like many other cultures, it's not really natural to say something so direct as "I love you." It's more indirect in at least my culture. I spoke in Lakhota at my wedding and started my prayer/song with "Mahassanni" (that "an" is really a very nasal "ah" sound). It translates to something close to "My second skin" and means that you wrap yourself in your lover as close to you as, well, a second skin. I love it!
