As a longtime native practitioner of the z language I feel it is my duty to
uphold the linguistic integrity of the language, so I must take issue with your
crude translation from the z language to the g language. As is well known, there
are many nuances of the z language that simply cannot be properly expressed in
the g language, so I feel your translation is quite misleading and lacking the
expressive elegance and subtleties of the original. But please do not blame
yourself! The g language is quite gutteral in comparsion and so you had set for
yourself a truly impossible task. A valiant effort, but I believe, a misguided
one.
