Jalɛkvarrɛtsvjaplɛ̨vą jɛbmųħɛw.
Finally I am done with the worst of the schoolwork.

Spoiler:

Wow, that's a mammoth suffix: -ɛtsvjaplɛ̨vą, analyzable as -ɛts-Nvɛ-plɛ-Nvą, which is -NEG-contrastive.present-suddenly-thankfully, or, in normal English, "thankfully, I am suddenly no longer X." Jɛbmųħɛw refers to something difficult or work-intensive that is manmade, thus, in this context, difficult schoolwork.

Nice! Good luck on whatever is left!

Spoiler:

(Literally: I need the finishing of the finding of the speakings for the adding of them onto my writings.) Apparently schoolwork brings out strange sentences!

How does one learn to be like an elephant? Do you learn to make heavy steps and wave your arm like a trunk, or do you learn to slow down and remember yourself?
