Few tasks are more difficult than translation. When undertaking to learn an unwritten language, and then to attempt to translate a scriptural book with centuries of compounded issues with as many as 1/5 of each sentences having no common meaning, into that fresh language, the task is geometrically compounded. For those of us who can enjoy the fruits, without having endured the search, sacrifice and commitment required for its completion, this work is a wonder to behold.

The languages are unique quarries and the words are jewels. For example, among the Chacobo, expertise is expressed as ownership. A fast runner is "an owner of running". The Linguists, Gil and Marion Prost, introduced a pharisee or preacher as "an owner of worship". The Chacobo word for "love" is always a verb and cannot correspond with a noun. "God is love", became "God is the owner of loving". [131]
