I came out with this in a conversation with an old friend I contacted earlier today...
PLEASE PROVIDE GLOSSES!

:eng: How can something so beautiful as love be confined to a single person?

:deu: Wie kann etwas so hübsisch wie die Liebe zu einer einzelner Person begrenzt sein?
:dan: Hvordan kan noget så smukt som kærlighed være begrænset til en enkelt person?

Núk sín avuthaìézhal tií déi anutházimosùokshiè?
alas just love<LEAD-ESS-INTR.PERM-one<LOC.ROM>> CLOSED_INT EXPLANATORY beautiful<LEAD-ESS-INTR.IND-EMO;FOLLOW.S-distant<LAT.INAN>>
alas / just / it is permissible to love one mate / is it? / given that / that emotion is so extremely beautiful

(Trying out an unconventional twist in my gloss--the third line gives word by word translations, with word boundaries marked by slashes, that convert the morphological mayhem into something a little more readable.)

(In other news, this sentiment is total cultural heresy among the Hiding Waters feayr.)
