Caviar comes from virgin sturgeons.
Virgin sturgeons are very rare fish.
Sturgeons seldom long remain virgin;
That's why caviar's a very rare dish.

Caviya dai pahismuga yitaruilk cliwi
Pahismuga yitaruilk parga treifol unajgaldar shil
Pahismuga ouda doria yita golusil
Ne shi wei caviya treifol faro unajgaldar shi

Caviya dai pahismu-ga yitaru-ilk cliwi
Pahismu-ga yitaru-ilk parga treifol unajgaldar shil
Pahismu-ga ouda doria yita golusil
Ne shi wei caviya treifol faro unajgaldar shi

Caviar from sturgeon-(plural) virgin-(female plural adj) come-(present, 3rd person)
Sturgeon-(plural) virgin-(female plural adj) fish-(plural) very rare be-(present, 3rd person, plural)
Sturgeon-(plural) seldom long virgin remain-(present, 3rd person, plural)
That is why caviar very dish rare be-(present, 3rd person)

Caviar from sturgeons-virgin come
Sturgeons-virgin fish-very rare are
Surgeon seldom long virgin remain
That is why caviar very dish-rare is.

(I know my glossing is quite controversial in terms of Leipzig's but I think it makes sense! LOL. Same format as last time anyway)

Male? Caviar is the roe, or eggs, of sturgeons; it comes from the females.
Does your conlang consider female sturgeons to be linguistically of the masculine gender?

Erm.... I didn't know what Caviar exactly was made from. And I guess I could jsut say that the eggs are both male and female and in my conlang, we use the male plural for a mixed group. Does that make sense??

So you never saw the Danny Kaye sketch where the grocery customer tries to get the "Chicken of the Sea" tuna cheaper by saying its chicken, then he retaliates by weighing her eggs and charging her for caviar?

It does if you're talking about the caviar; but I thought you were talking about the sturgeon from which the caviar comes.

Of course there's no reason biological sex should always match grammatical gender, but if it doesn't that's one of those interesting things you'd want to tell us.

Hmm... yeh! Oops, I may change it because that is not the way Eleypherion works. It's due to my lack of knowledge of foods, or at least these strange types.

Whee!

Neiriko:

Haitinašmelexʷaret ŧetmiň.
Leētʷə'ek melexʷaret.
Melexʷaret naihaivek;
Magяʷetek iletə'eňti.

Le:

Hćvek rś halyk haworew hašhelyv.
Halyk haworew ehwašši hć vykev.
Halyk hawore hai šykev;
Hiqqijam ehwašešša vykev.

Lezem:

Kavija năšoter a iriližīs samperīs.
Iriliži samperi šu rďmuniuk itîsi.
Itîs nai ollat iriližü;
Kusa ď rďmunitie.

Kaqal:

Se ikafua toekišaihai ni qētafenene mele.
Ni mele qētafe ne ika fuikilo.
Ne qētafe nai nofolahai ni melenć.
Emea ikafuagao.

EDIT: La Marseillaise is awesome.

Yes, let's translate the first verse and the refrain of La Marseillaise!
