So, I was a little bored earlier. Figured I'd take a crack at tswar ler het . (It doesn't rhyme very well, and in some places not at all. Be gentle.)
Yut khrum ħrinhroy
nron. Sluʔ hlat the
sru preʔ theʔne.
Ħu hil ar the
swi. Sai purhun
sroy thur. Lin he.
Also: This is kind of a translation. Bonus if you can guess what I "adapted."

Got it.

Very nice! The only error I can find is in the fourth line— the locative follows its object: ħu hil, next to me.

The example on the site has:
nel hyau ar-myar
mat on SBRD-cat
The cat (which is) on the mat.
So I just filled in:
the hil ar-ħu
you beside SBRD-I
You (who are) next to me.
Is that not right?
And yes, Mornche, that's right. You win the cookie.

It's backwards: the hil ar ħu means "I who am next to you"— the head of the clause is ħu 'I'.
So if you want "you who are next to me", it's ħu hil ar the .
I only just noticed that "armyar" in the grammar... it's a typo for "ar myar"; the space got lost with the formatting!

Khet ʔarkhel wal
