Miakūm 'edh chai síbhūrai dekídhīxī. Axā īdhangx mait bhūrehexān tia naramme mait baiv. Axā kūshev mait bhūrehexān tia miakūmsh ‘angū baiv.

"Language should be used as a tool of peace. We learn our first language to make peace with our parents. We learn other languages to make peace with our neighbors."

~Arktukui Dhiar Kasma Ajara, 2nd headmaster of the Ekim International School of Communication

Shiav ūm kvādh anne bhezh aidh.
Redhíshū mā bīkíxī. Kiam dex bīxī?
Kiam dwe kxai ābtev.

"Rain on a window of grey night.
"Destination is not known. Do they know?
"They travel with me."

"Suwnghen 1"

Kxai ūm viad aghāzev tū kura síschudaisū dhaiv.
Werím kxai bhehaiz ‘anī. Kxai īdasū mā bīxī.
Dwe ‘are jisebte ken tef rasā ayī.

"I stand on a beach and look through the morning’s fog.
"Sleep brought me here. I do not know the reason.
"Perhaps my dreams are also tired."

~Major General Skān Jīdre Amakādh, Gale Command 22nd Air Division

Ekimian Quotes & Poetry, 2024 by @fragmented_imagination (B Sanders)

This is a collection of words featured in Batum that I have included in the description of some of my work up to this point. I'm aware that some of the works that I link to are older than 2024, but they are here for a quick reference for what works feature Batum in some way. Yes, this is more or less a showcase for Batum, and I did it as an excuse to pad out the literature submissions on the ALCA group. Ashamed? Not really if people want to follow my example.
