Thank you all. :) I have received your pickles and tea and will eat them. It's good that you're all welcoming, I am glad.

(This translation is probably not how I'd say it in English! But I'm trying to have the language speak to me first, instead of translating from English -- just feeling out the basic concept of what I want to say and putting it immediately into Ayakadiya.)

I am truly a shoe connoisseur. You have caught me. ;) Tea is for me, but dick is not/I am not scared. No worries.

*I can't believe that this pun is possible, but it is. I'm so glad. Explanation below if you're curious.

Because of the reproductive system, Ayakadiya has no word for 'dick' -- they just don't have the concept. So borrowed it becomes 'dɛk', which joy of joys happens to be pronounced the same as the native word dɛk 'fear (n); fear, be afraid of (v)'. weeċɛ dɛk bii could be interpreted as both "Dick is not for me (=I will not take it, in this context)" and "Fear is not for me (=I do not have it, in this context)".

[din]

Because of the reproductive system, Ayakadiya has no word for 'dick' -- they just don't have the concept.

Tormiott (Rockall):

Piod noncianias sen tarcenas.
/pjon ˈnontɕɪɲɪs sən ˈtaɹkənɪs/
world be.dickless.3s NEG.3s quench.thirst.3s
A world without dicks is not a world for me.

'Noncianias' really means 'to be a coward' in informal speech, but literally it breaks down to 'to be dick-less', so it's a bit of a pun. So a word-for-word translation would be "A dick-less world doesn't quench (my) thrist". The fact that it (almost) rhymes and sounds like a proverb is a bonus.
