Hi Rick,   
      
   > You have a background in English, French, German, Latin?   
   > Yup-- you're already most of the way to Esperantio (esperanto-land).   
      
   I 've read that the man who started Esperanto L. L. Zamenhf chose to take his   
   vocabulary from Romance and Germanic languages.. no wonder I can sometimes   
   make a little sense of it at least .. German is probably my weakest   
   though.. Most of my studies were in French and Latin.   
      
   > Anyway, to point:   
      
   > How to esperantize:   
   >"Bernie Sanders should take over the Democratic Primary and wipe out Hillary"   
   > --Janis Kracht   
      
   > There are some judgement calls in here, this is what I make of it:   
      
   > I'd copy the names verbatim, not esperantize them.   
   > Word order can be kept the same, no need here to rearrange it.   
      
   > In two places, two words of english can be replaced by one (compound) word of   
   > esperanto,   
   > in one place a word of english is replaced by two of esperanto.   
      
   > should          devus   
   > take over       ekregi             (ek: (suddenly?) begin    regi: to rule)   
   > the             la   
   > Democratic      Demokrata   
   > Primary         Primara Balotado   (balloting)   
   > and             kaj                (rhymes with English "sky")   
   > wipe out        forvisxi           (visxi for: wipe away)   
      
   >"sx" above, is a kludge for the (single) letter which looks like an "s" with a   
   > "^" over it.   
   > It's pronounced like english "sh".   
   > (UTF-8 has the esperanto characters, Fido Echoes don't).   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
