`Aye (да). I live (я живу = живой). Why do you hate me (почему ты меня ненавидишь)?
`All Nhadragh hate the Vadhagh (все надраги ненавидят вадагов). They have hated them through eternity (они ненавидели их всегда;
`I am not from Castle Gal (я не из замка Гал).
`So I was right (значит, я был прав). This was not the last Vadhagh castle (это был не последний вадагский замок).
The being tried to stir (существо = надраг попытался пошевелиться;

You have learned hatred from the Mabden, Nhadragh, not from your ancestors. They knew honour. You did not. How could one of the older races make himself a Mabden slave?
